Getting Started in Burnstation

## Before You Start
Try the free demo first -- it's confirmed as a solid way to get a feel for the game's unique mixture of strategy and physics before committing to the full release.
Since overclocking is confirmed to multiply your score while risking a deck burnout, treat every push for a higher score as a genuine, calculated risk rather than a free action.
## Experimenting at Jimmy's RR Pawnshop
Since over 120 cartridges, processors, and marbles are confirmed as available, don't settle into one strategy too early -- the game is confirmed to reward experimentation and discovering unexpectedly powerful combinations.
## Reading the Physics, Not Just the Cards
Since this is confirmed as a genuinely physics-based experience rather than a purely abstract deckbuilder, pay attention to how your marbles actually move and interact with data-nodes, not just which cartridges you've equipped.
## Common Mistakes
* Overclocking recklessly without a real plan -- since burnout is a genuine consequence, treat pushing your limits as a deliberate risk, not a default strategy.
* Sticking with your first successful combination instead of continuing to experiment -- broader experimentation is confirmed as core to finding the game's most rewarding combos.
