HOW TO PLAY THE SET

There's no single winning card. Amazon is the all-rounder you build around. Walmart counters it on grocery and price. eBay and Etsy win the matchups Amazon can't (secondhand, handmade). Temu is your cheap-but-slow utility card. The strongest hand keeps two or three in play and swaps based on what you're buying.
