//2. Introduction [INT]//
/////////////////////////
Welcome to my list of the 128 Venture Cards that are found within Fortune
Street! This is a relatively simple guide that tells you what you can get
and offers advice on how you can use them.
For those of you who skipped the instruction booklet, Venture cards trigger
events when you obtain them, some good, some not so good. You get to take a
Venture card each time you land on a Suit Square (Spade, Heart, Diamond, or
Club) or a Venture card square (Pink with a ? on it). At the start of each
game you get a random 8x8 grid of cards to choose from.
There are two main ways you can go about selecting cards. The first is to
pick cards in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (though
diagonally isn't recommended). This is generally the best way to go as you
get cash bonuses for consecutive cards, like so:
--------------------------
| Line Length | Bonus |
--------------------------
| 1 card | - |
--------------------------
| 2 cards | - |
--------------------------
| 3 cards | - |
--------------------------
| 4 cards | 40G |
--------------------------
| 5 cards | 50G |
--------------------------
| 6 cards | 60G |
--------------------------
| 7 cards | 70G |
--------------------------
| 8 cards | 200G |
| (a whole line) | |
--------------------------
The second way to draw cards would be to try and prevent other players from
getting these bonuses by blocking them off and randomly picking cards. You
won't get bonuses that way, but neither will anyone else.
The 8x8 grid has 64 cards to choose from, all different, so you will only
have half of the possible cards. Even then, depending on which rule set you
are playing with, some cards won't appear at all. If you are using the Easy
Rules, then no cards will appear that involve Districts or Stocks. If you
are playing by the Standard Rules, then cards numbered 101-128 very rarely
appear. The only exception I've found to this is that Card No. 117 isn't
as rare in the Standard Rules.
And now to the main event, what's on these cards and what do they do? For
each card I'll give the number, a Ctrl + F code to find it quickly, which
will be [CARD_XXX] (examples: [CARD_001] for number 1, [CARD_075] for
number 75), the game's description, the general kind of card it is, a
rating out of 10, and more info/comments about it.

--------------------
- Card No. 1 -
--------------------
[CARD_001]
"Adventurous turning point! You can choose which
way to move on your next go, ______."
Card Type: Movement
Rating: 6/10
Info/Comments: This card will let you turn around and go the other way
if movement is possible in that direction. Useful for
picking up Suits and then running the other way to speed
up promotions or to avoid an expensive area.
--------------------
- Card No. 2 -
--------------------
[CARD_002]
"Venture on! Roll the die again and move forward."
Card Type: Movement
Rating: 6/10
Info/Comments: Really simple, this lets you roll again. Hard to argue
with getting an extra turn, essentially.
--------------------
- Card No. 3 -
--------------------
[CARD_003]
"Venture through space! Zoom over to any
non-venture, non-suit square you like!"
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 8/10
Info/Comments: This lets you warp to any shop or vacant plot, the Bank,
Arcades, Roll-on squares, Boon/Boom squares, Stockbrokers,
etc., just not Suit Squares or Venture Card squares. Very
useful for travelling around or buying shops where you
need them, and this and ALL warping cards and effects give
you your choice of direction next turn.
--------------------
- Card No. 4 -
--------------------
[CARD_004]
"Moneymaking venture! Roll the die and get 40 times the number
shown in gold coins from the player in first place!"
Card Type: Moneymaking
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: This will let you steal coins from the player in first. The
die used has the same maximum as the board you are on (This
is true for ALL die-based venture cards that don't state
their effects from specific numbers). If you are in first
ALONE, it does nothing. If you are tied for first, you can
steal from everyone tied with you. This card is quite
effective right at first when everyone's net worths are the
same so you can steal from everyone.
--------------------
- Card No. 5 -
--------------------
[CARD_005]
"Venture through space! Zoom over to any shop or vacant plot!"
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: This lets you warp to any shop or vacant plot, that's it.
Not as useful as No. 3, but still good for getting around
and great for getting shops where you need them.
--------------------
- Card No. 6 -
--------------------
[CARD_006]
"Venture through space! Zoom over to any venture or suit square!"
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 8/10
Info/Comments: This lets you warp to any suit square or venture card
square. Quite useful for collecting suits, and there is
the added bonus of getting to take another Venture Card
immediately (since you're landing on those spaces).
--------------------
- Card No. 7 -
--------------------
[CARD_007]
"Special bonus! Your shops all grow by 7%!"
Card Type: Bonus
Rating: 9/10
Info/Comments: Lucky Number 7, naturally. This instantly boosts the
value of all of your shops (excluding most vacant plot
shops) by 7%. This card will always be good, but it will
be better the later in the game that you draw it.
--------------------
- Card No. 8 -
--------------------
[CARD_008]
"Venture on! Everyone's shop prices increase by 30%!
Now roll the die and move again."
Card Type: Movement
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: All shops will charge 30% more until each of their
owners next turns, meaning that yours will be more
expensive the longest. You also get to roll again.
Can help or hinder, depending on where everyone is
at the time.
--------------------

--------------------
[CARD_009]
"Venture on! Everyone's shops close for the day!

---------------------
- Card No. 11 -
---------------------
[CARD_011]
"Moneymaking venture! Roll the die and get 11 times the number
shown in gold coins from all other players!"
Card Type: Moneymaking
Rating: 6/10
Info/Comments: This lets you steal a small amount of money from
everyone. Nice, but not that useful except early on.
---------------------
- Card No. 12 -
---------------------
[CARD_012]
"Capital venture! You can invest capital in any of your shops."
Card Type: Investment
Rating: 8/10
Info/Comments: This card has the same effect as landing on any of your
own shops. Very useful if you are having trouble landing
where you need to.

- Card No. 13 -
---------------------
[CARD_013]
"Misadventure! The values of all your shops drop by 13%!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 1/10
Info/Comments: Unlucky Number 13, naturally, with its own ominous music
to confirm that this is bad. All of your shops (excluding
most vacant plot shops) instantly drop in value by 13%.
If you draw this, you will almost definitely take a hit.
---------------------
- Card No. 14 -
---------------------
[CARD_014]
"Misadventure! You give everyone 30G each!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 2/10

normally. Not a serious hit, but a hit nonetheless.
---------------------

---------------------
[CARD_015]
"Moneymaking venture! Roll the die and get 50 times the
number shown in gold coins from the bank!"
Card Type: Moneymaking

Can be good early on, but fairly insignificant later.
---------------------
- Card No. 16 -
---------------------
[CARD_016]
"Random venture! Shops expand in three districts picked at random!"
Card Type: Expansion
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: The shops in three random districts will each have their
values increased by 10%. The same district can even be
expanded twice or even all three times, but it's all up
to chance which districts are picked.
---------------------
- Card No. 17 -
---------------------
[CARD_017]
"Special bonus! You receive half of your salary!"
Card Type: Bonus
Rating: 9/10
Info/Comments: This instantly gives you a nice cash bonus equal to half
of your current upcoming salary. Always a good card.
---------------------
- Card No. 18 -
---------------------
[CARD_018]
"Misadventure! The bank is forcibly buying you out! You're compelled
to sell a shop for only twice its value."
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 4/10

it's currently worth. This can be helpful if you need
the cash and have a shop you can spare.
---------------------
- Card No. 19 -
---------------------
[CARD_019]
"Price hike venture! Your shop prices go up by 30% until your next turn."
Card Type: Moneymaking
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: Until your next turn, whenever someone pays at one of
your shops, they pay 30% extra. Since this only affects
your shops, only you get to reap the extra rewards.

---------------------
[CARD_020]
"Revaluation venture! You can expand any one of your shops by 20%."
Card Type: Expansion
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: This permanently increases the value of one of your shops
by 20%. This is independent of capital investment, so you
can use this to increase the value of a shop even if no
more capital can be invested into it. Best used on more
expensive shops as you'll get a larger increase.
---------------------
- Card No. 21 -
---------------------
[CARD_021]
"Random venture! You receive 20 stocks in a district picked at random!"
Card Type: Stock
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: This gives you 20 stocks in a random district. It's
essentially free money, plus you might get dividends from
it. Quite useful.
---------------------
- Card No. 22 -
---------------------
[CARD_022]
"Cashback venture! You can sell a shop back to the bank
for twice its shop value."
Card Type: Moneymaking
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: This allows you to sell a shop for four times what it is
currently worth, but you can choose not to if you wish.
For double, it can help out if you need the cash.
---------------------
- Card No. 23 -
---------------------
[CARD_023]
"Revaluation venture! You can expand any one of your shops by 50%."
Card Type: Expansion
Rating: 9/10
Info/Comments: This permanently increases the value of one of your shops
by 50%. This is independent of capital investment, so you
can use this to increase the value of a shop even if no
more capital can be invested into it. Best used on more
expensive shops as you'll get a larger increase.
---------------------
- Card No. 24 -
---------------------
[CARD_024]
"Misadventure! The bank is forcibly buying you out! You're compelled
to sell a shop for only 200G more than its value."
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 3/10
Info/Comments: This makes you sell a shop, and you only get 200G more
than its current shop value. It is best if you choose a
cheap shop since the amount over you're getting is fixed.
---------------------
- Card No. 25 -
---------------------
[CARD_025]
"Misadventure! Your shop prices halve until your next turn!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 2/10
Info/Comments: Until your next turn, whenever someone pays at one of
your shops, they pay you 50% less. Not good, but at
least your shops are still open.
---------------------
- Card No. 26 -
---------------------
[CARD_026]
"Lucky venture! You get a big commission until your next turn!"
Card Type: Moneymaking
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: Until your next turn, whenever anyone else has to pay
at a shop, you get a commission of 50% of the amount
that the player had to pay. Late in the game, the payout
can be great from this. This card has the same effect as
landing on a Boom square.

[CARD_027]
"Special bonus! You receive 27 times the number of shops
you own in gold coins from the bank!"

quite fast, especially on larger boards.
---------------------
- Card No. 28 -
---------------------
[CARD_028]
"Cameo adventure! A goodybag appears!"
Card Type: Cameo
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: This summons a Goodybag monster from the Dragon Quest
series named Gumdrops. Cameo characters act like fifth
players who take their turns after the player who made
them appear. At the end of their turns, they may leave.
Gumdrops will pay the costs of any shops, like any other
player, except Tax Offices.
---------------------
- Card No. 29 -
---------------------
[CARD_029]
"Freebie! Take a Heart!"

Now roll the die and move again."

at 35% above the market value."

---------------------
[CARD_036]
"Capital venture! You can pay 100G for
the chance to invest in your shops."

at 10% above the market value."

---------------------
[CARD_041]
"Misadventure! Stock prices fall by 10%
in a district picked at random!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 3/10
Info/Comments: If you pick a card in the forties, it will almost
always be bad news. Stock prices in one randomly
picked district will fall by 10%. This can be good
if you want to buy more stock or devalue competitors'
stocks.
---------------------
- Card No. 42 -
---------------------
[CARD_042]
"Misadventure! Stock prices fall by 20%
in a district picked at random!"

picked district will fall by 20%. This can be good
if you want to buy more stock or devalue competitors'
stocks.
---------------------
- Card No. 43 -
---------------------
[CARD_043]
"Misadventure! You pay an assets tax of two gold coins
per unit of stock that you own!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 1/10
Info/Comments: If you pick a card in the forties, it will almost
always be bad news. For each stock that you have,

---------------------
- Card No. 44 -
---------------------
[CARD_044]
"Misadventure! Roll the die and pay 44 times the number shown
in gold coins to the player in last place!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 2/10
Info/Comments: If you pick a card in the forties, it will almost
always be bad news. If you are not in last place,
then you pay 44 times a roll of the die to the player
in last place. With a low number it's not too bad.
---------------------
- Card No. 45 -
---------------------
[CARD_045]
"Dicey adventure! Roll 1/3/5 to warp to a take-a-break square.
Roll 2/4/6 to warp to the arcade."
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 5/10
Info/Comments: One of only two "forties" cards that can be good.
Roll odd and you warp to a take-a-break square and
close your shops. Roll even and you warp to the arcade
and play a minigame. Whether or not the warping itself
helps you, depends on your situation.
---------------------
- Card No. 46 -
---------------------
[CARD_046]
"Misadventure! You drop your wallet and lose 10% of your ready cash!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 1/10

always be bad news. You instantly lose 10% of your ready
cash. The only small mercy here is that no one else gets
that money.
---------------------

---------------------
[CARD_047]
"Dicey adventure! Roll 2-6 to get all the suits.
Roll 1 and lose all your suits."
Card Type: Suit
Rating: 8/10
Info/Comments: One of only two "forties" cards that can be good, and this
card actually is quite good, or awful. If you roll a 2, 3,
4, 5, or 6, then you will get all 4 suits. BUT if you roll
a 1, then all the suits you have are gone. The odds are
over 80% in your favor, so that's good. If you already have
all four suits and roll 2-6, you only get a measly 100G for
your huge gamble.
---------------------
- Card No. 48 -
---------------------
[CARD_048]
"Misadventure! All shops in a district picked at random
fall in value by 10%!"
Card Type: Misadventure
Rating: 2/10

competitor's district.

fall in value by 20%!"

[CARD_050]
"Venture on! Move forward the same number of squares again."

---------------------
[CARD_051]

---------------------
[CARD_053]
"Venture through space! Zoom over to the bank!"
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 6/10
Info/Comments: This card forces you directly to the bank. If you
have all four suits, then it's great. But at other
times, it could do more harm than good, since you
do not get a choice if you want to warp or not.
---------------------

---------------------
[CARD_054]
"Venture through space! Pay 100G to zoom straight to the bank!"
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 7/10

This card scores better than No. 53 only because
it gives you the choice to warp or not.
---------------------
- Card No. 55 -
---------------------
[CARD_055]
"Venture on! Roll the die again and move forward
(with an invitation to browse thrown in!)."
Card Type: Movement
Rating: 9/10

don't have to pay at ANY shops. Very useful.
---------------------
- Card No. 56 -
---------------------
[CARD_056]
"Venture on! Roll the die again and move forward
(with a half-price special offer thrown in!)."
Card Type: Movement

---------------------
- Card No. 57 -
---------------------
[CARD_057]
"Venture through space! Zoom to any square you like."
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 10/10
Info/Comments: This lets you go wherever you want! Need to buy a shop?
There you go. Need an isolated Suit? It's yours. Ready
for a promotion? The bank's ready for you! Even if you
don't want to warp, you could just select the same space
that you're on to get another Venture card and your
choice of direction next turn!
---------------------
- Card No. 58 -
---------------------
[CARD_058]
"Venture through space! Pay 100G to zoom to any
non-venture, non-suit square you like!"
Card Type: Warping
Rating: 7/10
Info/Comments: For 100G, you can warp to any shop or vacant plot, the
Bank, Arcades, Roll-on squares, Boon/Boom squares,
Stockbrokers, etc., just not Suit Squares or Venture Card
squares. Useful for travelling around or buying shops
where you need them.

at 10% below the market value."
Card Type: Stock
Rating: 9/10

price. Even if you don't need it, buy some stock and
then sell it for a quick buck. Don't waste this gem.
---------------------
- Card No. 60 -
---------------------
[CARD_060]

For this guide, I'm submitting it (and updates) to
www.gamefaqs.com first but will allow other sites to use it,
PROVIDED they credit me with its creation, of course.
Its STEALING and just plain wrong if you use it on your site
claiming it as your own.
