What kind of item is it?

In Go-Stop, after you play a card, you flip the top card of the deck (the face-down pile) and place it on the table. Usually you can’t know which card will come up. Deck Peek is an item that shows you that top card in advance.

Let’s look at the effect in detail

  • When you use the item, a ‘Top of deck (3 sec)’ window appears near the deck and the top card is shown face up.
  • The window disappears by itself after 3 seconds. To see it again you would have to use the item again, but it can only be used once per round.
  • If there isn’t a single card in the deck, it tells you ‘The deck is empty’.

Confirmed directly with the game engine

In a round where the top of the deck was Feb Ribbon, after I played a card I checked the card actually flipped and it was the same card (Feb Ribbon). In other words, the card you saw in advance is the card that gets flipped.

There is one exception

If you have a Bonus Junk in your hand and play it first, the top card goes into your hand instead of being flipped (because playing a Bonus Junk draws one card from the deck). In that case, the card you saw in advance may not be flipped onto the table.

How to use

Before you begin

Items can be used only after logging in. If you aren’t logged in, you’ll see the message ‘Available after logging in’.

  1. Step 1 When it’s your turn and you need to play a card, tap the Deck Peek picture on the item shelf. The item pictures are arranged in 2 columns and 5 rows. Hover over one with the mouse and a small tooltip shows its effect (or the reason you can’t use it).
  2. Step 2 The game pauses briefly, the screen dims, and an ‘Item’ description window opens. A large picture is on the left; the name, HP price and effect description are on the right.
  3. Step 3 Press [Use] and it takes effect right away. If you have an owned copy from a gift, it goes down by 1 (HP isn’t used); if you have none, the price is deducted from your HP.
  4. Step 4 When you can’t use it right now, [Use] is dimmed and the reason appears in red text (for example: Not enough HP, Can only be used on your turn).
  5. Step 5 If you’d rather not use it and just close the window, press [Close] (or the Esc key). The item and your HP stay as they were, and the game continues.

The picture above shows the description window redrawn as text. ○○ and △△ show your own HP.

You can also use the keyboard: Enter or Space = press the selected button, Left/Right arrow keys or Tab = move between buttons.

After [Use], remember the card that appears near the deck within 3 seconds.

When is a good time to use it?

  • If you look before deciding which card to play, it can help you work out ‘if this card gets flipped, what would be good for me?’.
  • When you’re torn about which of two cards to play, looking at the month of the top card and the table cards together can help you decide.
  • 3 seconds is short, so it helps to have a question in mind before you look.

Things to watch out for and limits

These are the conditions for use set by the game.

In cases like these Messages shown on the screen
When you aren’t logged in Available after logging in
Rounds in modes other than Endless (Single Match, Tournament, War of the Gods) Only usable in Endless mode
Items already used this round Already used this round
When not to use it Can only be used on your turn
When another window (popup) is open Can’t be used right now
When you don’t have enough HP (and no owned copy) Not enough HP (150 HP needed)
Please remember

It can only be used on your turn, and only once per round. You only see it for 3 seconds, so if you miss it you can’t look again.

HP and the daily gift

Items are paid for with HP (Healing Points). The moment you press [Use], HP goes down by the price, and if you don’t have enough HP you can’t use it (your balance never goes negative). HP can be earned as a reward for winning a round or making a great hand.

Daily login gift

Once a day, when you connect, you receive 1 item as a gift. It is 1 random item out of the 10 items. Even if you log in again the same day or restart the game, the gift is only once (the date is based on your own computer’s date).

An item received as a gift is shown next to its shelf picture as ×count. When you use that item, one owned copy is used first instead of HP, and HP doesn’t go down. If you have an owned copy you can use it even when you’re short of HP (the once-per-round limit still applies, though).

Frequently asked questions

Q. Is it really the card that gets flipped next?
It was the same card when checked with the game engine. There are exceptions, though, such as when a Bonus Junk is played first.
Q. Can I see the whole deck?
No. Only the top card is shown.
Q. What happens after 3 seconds?
The window disappears. That card stays on top of the deck, and it’s flipped when you play a card.
Q. Can I see the opponent’s cards too?
No. You can see the opponent’s cards with ‘Opponent Peek’.
Q. Can I use Undo Move, Coach Hint and Go Insurance too?
Yes. These three can now be used officially too. For details, see the posts on Undo Move, Coach Hint and Go Insurance.

The opponent reacts when you use an item

When you use an item, the opponent character may react with a short line. When you use a peek item, the opponent may look flustered or annoyed. It’s only a reaction; it doesn’t change the opponent’s cards or the result of the game. This speech bubble is just for atmosphere and has nothing to do with the item’s effect, and you can turn it off under ‘Opponent chat settings…’ in the ☰ menu. For details, see the post HealingMatgo, where you chat with your opponent.
