In the popular video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH), one fun activity you can do is play the campsite card game with RVs that visit your campsite. However, many players find the mini-game challenging to win. Here are some tips and strategies to help you be victorious in the campsite card game in ACNH.

Understand The Gameplay And Rules

The first step is making sure you understand how the campsite card game works. The RV visitor will ask you to pick a card from their deck. Your goal is to collect sets of cards with matching numbers or icons. If you pick a card that matches another in your hand, you get to keep both and draw another. However, if you pick a card that doesn't match, it goes back into the deck. The RV visitor has better luck and will often pick matching cards. You win by collecting all the cards before they do.

Pay attention to what types of matches count - sometimes it's the exact same number or icon, other times just the same type (e.g. both fruit cards). You can match numbers or icons across different card suits. And remember, getting even one match lets you draw again for another chance to add to your set.

Collect ACNH Items And Furniture For Better Rewards

As you play more card games, the RV visitors may offer special furniture items or other ACNH items as a reward for winning. The better and rarer the items, the more games you need to successively win. So it's worth investing the time to win multiple times if there's a great furniture piece on the line.

Pay Attention To Cards Already Played

When choosing your card, view the ones already picked to look for potential matches that may come up. This allows you to guess which cards are left in the deck and improves your odds of a match. Did the RV visitor pick a lot of fruit cards already? You may be safe choosing another fruit. Keeping track is easier said than done, but helps your strategy.

Go For Sets Of 3 If Possible

The goal is collecting full sets to remove all the cards before the RV visitor. A set of 3 matches is ideal, as it allows you to draw 3 extra cards on your next turn. Sets of 2 are okay too for 2 extra draws. Singles aren't as helpful since you only draw once. So aim to pick cards that complete sets of 3 if you have options.

Take Risks For Big Payouts

Part of the strategy is weighing risk versus reward. Later in the game, when you're close to winning or losing, it's worth taking a risk on a uncertain pick. Even if it doesn't match, you hope to draw answers on your next turn before the RV visitor seals their victory. High risk plays are how you overtime get rare rewards. The meow coupons or outdoor ACNH furniture may demand some danger!

Have Fun And Don't Get Frustrated

Above all, remember the campsite card games are meant for fun! Losing is part of the challenge. If you get on a losing streak, take a break and come back to it later with a fresh perspective. RNG plays a role too. As long as you follow the basic strategies, your wins will come over time. The camping visitors will keep visiting your island, so don't worry about missing out on rewards.

With practice and these tips in mind, you'll be a pro at the ACNH campsite card game before long. Mastering the mini-games makes the virtual camping experience even more enjoyable. Happy winning, and happy camping!
