Double Fanucci Revealed!
All of your Double Fanucci info in one thread! Thanks for everyone's contributions! I sort of hijacked the Fanucci thread from earlier contributors Extremely sorry about that...I got really excited. But here's to you!

The game is Double Fanucci. The suits are Mazes, Books, Rain, Bugs, Fromps, Inkblots, Scythes, Plungers, Faces, Time, Lamps, Hives, Ears, Zurfs, and Tops. Each suit has eleven cards with a value from Naught all the way to Infinity. The face cards are Granola, Death, Light, Snail, Beauty, Time, Grue, Lobster, and Jester.

Brief summary by msr and edited by dardor!

1. Never combine three or four different sets (0% relationship suits).
2. Only combine pairs of suits from the same set (0%) or that are separated by a blue line (-50%). All other combinations are counter-productive (at best they're neutral/wasting cards, at worse they're detrimental)
3. Never combine more than two cards from the same suit. Larger cards within a suit yield larger payoff.
4. The highest power you can have in a slot is 100.

Individual Card Powers (much thanks to Corian and Saphee for Infinity)!

Naughts = 2
Ones = 4
Twos = 8
Threes = 16
Fours = 20
Fives = 24
Sixes = 30
Sevens = 36
Eights = 40
Nines = 44
Infinities = 50

Joint effort by the Fanucci community here to figure out relationships!

To make things easier for everyone I have adopted IndigoFerret's percents because it makes more sense for the tables.

Remember, only top 2 cards from each suit contribute to a combination.

6 Sets (0%):
Ears, Mazes, Scythes
Hives, Inkblots
Plungers, Books, Zurfs
Tops, Rain, Faces
Bugs, Time
Lamps, Fromps

2 Allied Factions (-50%):
Bugs, Time – Plungers, Books, Zurfs
Hives, Inkblots – Bugs, Time
Plungers, Books, Zurfs – Hives, Inkblots

Ears, Mazes, Scythes – Tops, Rain, Faces
Lamps, Fromps – Ears, Mazes, Scythes
Tops, Rain, Faces – Lamps, Fromps

3 Neutral Groups (-100%):
Hives, Inkblots – Tops, Rain, Faces
Ears, Mazes, Scythes – Bugs, Time
Plungers, Books, Zurfs – Lamps, Fromps

3 Enemy Factions (-150%):
Bugs, Time – Tops, Rain, Faces
Bugs, Time – Lamps, Fromps

Plungers, Books, Zurfs – Tops, Rain, Faces
Plungers, Books, Zurfs – Ears, Mazes, Scythes

Hives, Inkblots – Ears, Mazes, Scythes
Hives, Inkblots – Lamps, Fromps

Wonderful mathematical analysis supplied by IndigoFerret!
(Thanks TESHLA for posting the following chart)

Note that I am using slightly different terminology than IndigoFerret. Evidence points to 3 set and 4 set combinations (do not confuse sets with suits) being highly useless or even detrimental.

Dominant set = set with highest base power.
2nd tier set = set with 2nd highest base power

If 2 sets have the same base power, just choose one to be more dominant than the other. You don't have to subtract from both sets. This only applies to 2 set combinations!

Table as follows:
Card Power Mod1
where Card is the suit and number, i.e. Bugs0, Faces3, etc.
where Power is card power from list way at the top of this post.
where Mod1 is the relationship between this card and the dominant set.

Levels of dominance:
Dominant set ignores its relationship with all other sets (all Mods are 0%).

The sets can be found at the top of this post, where it says 6 Sets.

Examples:

Card Power Mod1
Rain0 2 0% 2
Rain1 4 0% 4
Lamps0 2 -50% 1
2+4+1 = 7

Card Power Mod1
Rain0 2 0% 2
Rain1 4 0% 4
Bugs1 4 -150% -2
2+4-2 = 4

Card Power Mod1
Rain0 2 -150% -1
Rain1 4 -150% -2
Bugs2 8 0% 8
-1-2+8 = 5
Bugs became dominant, so all the percentages change.

Card Power Mod1
Book1 4 0% 4
Book2 8 0% 8
Time0 2 -50% 1
Time1 4 -50% 2
4+8+1+2 = 15

There are also Fanucci Calculators available from several different hosts, which can be found Here Thanks to DUSTIN CROPPS for the calculator link!

Have I got this right? Once you've achieved the 100 scoring combos, which seems to be around the '6' mark in compatible suits, collecting the rest of the fanucci cards is just trophy hunting?

Not entirely, Lucinda. While your Fanucci Gambit is by far your most important combination, Sidekick is a close second and then you can round out your other disciplines from there.

That being said, the top Fame players on here are all in the low 20s as far as level goes, some with around 80 cards, so clearly they only have one maybe two combos maxed out to 100.

But for me, there is more to this game than Fame!

For those of us under the sidekick radar for the next 15 or so levels... Fanucci Gambit is your FIRST priority, followed by what you have placed your points in skill wise.
For instance, if most my points are in MIND, and I have 2 fanucci sets that equal 100%, I would place them in GAMBIT and MIND, until I got a sidekick.

Super helpful guys and gals, my cards are limited but they are maxed out thanks to this info! Saved me a ton of time playing with combos to get the highest overall total!

I'm not expecting to get there anytime this year, just wondering if finding the remaining cards served any purpose once you could make 5 sets of 100.

Just for trophies, I think

And to satisfy OCD collecting needs. Damn OCD. Damn limited APs. And a pox on bleeding cards that refuse to drop.
