Practice Table lets you rehearse a fictional case, pin a baseline and compare another formula with the same base scoring rules used in a tour. Save your experiments in a local practice notebook. HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE 1. Open Practice Table from the main menu. Choose a fictional case, a diagnosis guess and two to four distinct ingredient cards. 2. Evaluate the trial and pin it as the baseline. Explore one-card alternatives from the starter-card pool. 3. Try a swap and read the difference in target distance and score. 4. Save a trial, revisit it later or share its text report. This practice spends and awards no tour resources. The seven-day deck-building tour, ingredient catalog, patient cases, reference material, achievements and Casebook tools remain available. WHAT TO KNOW This is historical-fiction gameplay, not real medical guidance or a usable recipe. Base scoring excludes tools, archetypes and Rigour. Alternatives search one-card substitutions from the starter pool, not every deck. The local notebook holds up to 100 trials and 4 MB; deleting a trial does not affect tour progress. iPhone and iPad. No account required.
