Notice that none of the changes we are going to perform will disable the achievements. They are not tied in with the variables of the file infact with the progression of this game. So know that we are taking an unethical shortcut.

In this game, there is no Steam Cloud as of it yet, so changing boolean variables even a little bit in file would do direct affect in the game such as corrupting your saves until you overwrite it. So you have to make sure not to mess with anything else then what I recommend. Also what's the point of playing a game if you progressing faster than what is intended by the Devs? So I will keep it minimal but you may do things at your own risk (sorry!).

First, close the game if you haven't done so. Now, locate—

C:\Users\<YOUR PC NAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Ludosity

{Know that remote directory can be elsewhere, but most likely it will be in C:\ if that's where Steam files are, if you can't find the folder then do a quick search in your PC with title 'Ludosity' it should come up}. If you have found it, great!, open it, then open CardCityNights folder.

Now, there are a lot of text files, but it is the 'Profile' text file where we do these changes. But first you have to make sure that you have started a new game and played about a minute or two in order to generate this file and variables in it.

So, if you haven't started playing the game yet, do so. If you have played the game, then please open your 'Profile.txt' file.

After you open 'Profile.txt', you will see a lot of variables names. Don't change any of them but 'Gold', otherwise you will mess up and corrupt your save slot. Since this guide is about getting 'Gold', I am only going to show you that.

• To change the Gold in game do this (Ctrl+f);
  Look for: Gold|
  Change: Gold|<Your desired amount> (no space after the |)
  Next: Close and save the file in .txt format

(There are also a lot of straightforward variables names which are easy to guess what they are intended to do in-game. For instance, if you desire to be an undefeated "The Legendary Card Player", you can change variable 'Losses' to Losses|0....but I never said that.)

Now to wrap things up, if you did those easy steps, you will have desired amount of 'Coins' when you start the game next time.

I can't stress this enough: please donot change anything else, unless you want a bad progression. Offcourse there are ways to get more of your favourite cards, to unlock a new board, finding all of the hidden coins in the game world, and even beat an AI to progress to a next quest or new location. I have done these as an experiment, and am telling you, playing this game afterwards has no point. You have bought this game, so why not play and get out your money's worth. The reason why I showed you 'Gold' is because getting it in game can become grindy.

So that's it dear gamer, thanks for reading this guide, and hopefully I have took some of your frustration off of this game. Please ask questions if you run into any issue. Have a good day/night!

~Cheers,
