My Kimmy’s Arcade Strategy

The strategy I use for this mini-game is based on the fact that if you lose, you get no rewards. I try to clear boards with the weakest cards I can use. Trying to figure this out is a guessing game. You want to try to save the rare cards for the more difficult rounds.

Think back to playing normal levels and what will happen if you use these special candy combinations. If you are unsure what will happen, then test them and observe!

Once I get to about round six, the levels start to become very hard. Winning or losing feels like a gamble at this point. So often, I will stop around here. Remember, if you lose, you don’t get any rewards. I rather leave with whatever I have then get nothing.

Even if you can beat ten rounds, the rewards you get from those last rounds are not necessarily any better than the early rounds. So there is no reason to take the extra risk.

Congratulations! and the rewards I got from playing Kimmy's Arcade.

Is It Worth Spending Gold to Play More?

Maybe. If you wanted some boosters fast, playing Kimmy’s Arcade is a way to get some. But you mostly get level start boosters and rarely get hammers or free switch boosters. I think the level boosters are a lot nicer.

There is also the random nature of the game to consider. You don’t quite know what you are going to get. If you lose, you don’t get anything! I rather spend my gold on something else.
