How to play Ramen

Protect Ramen by using few or no discards—its Mult decays with each discard used. Burglar converts discards into extra hands; Green Joker rewards playing more hands with fewer discards; Delayed Gratification pays you for skipping discards.

Pulls against: Drunkard/Banner (discard-centric plans)
