“Chamber Maids that need double served”

This is one of the ways to earn victory points and remove them from your hand that is drawn.
Acquire a maid in the employment phase that has a two serving bonus. It will go to you discard pile. When you reshuffle and at a future draw when you have both the chambermaid and the maid with the bonus, you will need to play it in this order. Play the maid with the two serving bonus first which will give you two additional servings. Then play the Chamber Maid into your Private Quarters which will remove it from your drawing deck.
This will get you the victory points for the end of the game and help toward being declared the Best “Master” of the mansion.

“Mix and Match”

I thoroughly recommend that you try mixing all three sets together for a new and different experience

you will need the building, the reminisces, and the illnesses and bad habits, as well as the private maids.

“The Draw Deck”

This will be useful to people who know the game at least a little.

One of the strongest decks that I have found is the draw deck, meaning one that lets you draw, and usually play, many cards in one turn. The deck is better for a mid- to long-range game but looses out in short games. The idea is to buy maids that have both an extra serving and a draw function to cycle cards in your deck. The best card for this is Ophelia Grail because she gives you one of everything: draw; serve; love; and employ. After that the best combo is Natsumi Fujikawa, who gives you two serves and a draw, paired with Genevieve Daubigny who gives you a draw, a serve, and a love. These three give your deck higher play time and if you throw in a few Anise Greenaways then you also have more draws and more buys. After that the aim it to buy and chamber maids that give you chamber bonuses.

This type of deck works best with a long game since you have the time to buy all the needed maids first and then use them to chamber the others. If you play shorter games then watch out since this approach sacrifices initial point gain for an overwhelming advantage later on, which means that if the game ends early you’re left with almost nothing.

“Don't Underestimate Double Serving”

Most of the Starting maids require 2 serves to chamber … Getting a Kagari or Natsumi to get rid of these cards can be a huge boost
