How players use it
- So You Think You Can Speedrun Beat the game in under 9 minutes (10.6%). The timer counts real time, including pauses. Players report success on Peasant with fast troops (Thief or Bomber plots) or King of Greed, playing cards quickly and skipping slow decisions. 1.0’s fast UI animation and disabled battle effects options cut animation time.
