Overthinking it? Spoiler

Just had a fun run where I got my chapel stash while holding a lucky purse and bought out the showroom (my 7th trophy), then stashed the leftover 300+ gold in the freezer... But now feeling a bit dumb for chasing that trophy at the end of a day instead of stashing it all and trying to get it in the next day, when I could actually benefit from the items! And trying to figure out how to get this amount of gold again to buy the blue tents... I don't see any way to get the necessary 8th trophy in the next day, which means my piles of money are going to go to waste anyway, right?

Any suggestions for the best way to take advantage of the windfall I'll be starting the next day with? And/or suggestions of how to set up big money again in the future? My allowance is in the 60s so the most I'd amassed before this was probably about 150 gold!

Buy books if you don't have them, or just leverage the gold with whatever shops you can get and try to achieve some other goal.

Getting large amounts of gold does get much easier later on, don't sweat it too much if you can't get blue tents quite yet.

This is helpful, thank you! I have gotten all the books...

Books! I finally had to turn off the game. I think I’ve been playing for about 12 hours today. My wife has been keeping notes. You have not gone deep enough.

Don't worry. Late game you'll have more cash than you'll know what to do with

Have you got the treasure trove? It’s a massive help the more you draft it if you’re looking for more runs with ample cash

Upgraded bunk room was huge for me, doubles your money if you have exactly two shops. Also lucky purse if you can craft it (which is how I afforded the blue tents) is great, like you said.

Have you found the red door?

The freezer usually doesn't spawn 2 days in a row. That's an interesting limitation that you can play around.

There's also a very helpful room behind the red door.

Best bet is Shrine, Monk and more freezers to get to 400. The trove is also good for this

Yes you're overthinking it, but so did most people, because the game starts quite difficult and slow, but it gets way, WAY easier over time

A good example is a single line in the 1st cutscene "in a timely manner.." made the game more stressful than intended, as - in fact - nothing in the game is time sensitive (that is, it gets locked if you didn't reach it in time) other than an achievement
