What does double or nothing do in Grow a Garden 2?
In Grow a Garden 2, double or nothing is an option you can choose when selling crops to Steven at the selling counter. If he agrees, he’ll pay you double the Sheckles value of the items. After that, you can decide whether to accept his offer, or you can raise the risk again by selecting ‘double or nothing’ a second time.
On the other hand, if he declines at any point, you’ll lose your entire inventory and won’t receive any Sheckles at all.
At the time of writing, this seems to have replaced the earlier negotiation mechanism with Steven.
Tips for utilizing double or nothing in Grow a Garden 2
Because double or nothing is a gamble in Grow a Garden 2, here are several practical tips to help you get the most out of it while reducing the chance of a major setback:
- Save your most valuable crops for the daily deal – Keep hold of your top-tier produce, such as Moon Bloom and Dragon’s Breath, and sell it to Steven using the ‘Daily Deal’ option rather than ‘Double or Nothing’. This way, you can be sure you’ll get a sensible payout for these items, without putting them in jeopardy (especially since they take a long time to grow!)
- Try A-tier and B-tier crops in small batches – Crops in these categories from our top seed list are good candidates for higher prices, as long as you test them a little at a time. Don’t bundle everything together; if the deal goes wrong, the damage will be much smaller.
- Low-value crops are usually the safest bet – Strawberries or Blueberries, for example, are great choices for the gamble. This is especially true for quick-growing, multi-harvest crops—if you lose, you likely won’t feel the absence for long.
- Don’t chase greed – If Steven agrees to double your payout, you can still choose to push for an even bigger boost by doubling again. If you think you’ve already received a good offer, it’s wise to accept and move on. For example, we sold Steven some Bamboo, and the total was increased to 20,000 Sheckles. Instead of risking the inventory for more, we took the Sheckles.
- Mark your preferred fruits as favorites – Remember, you can favorite fruits in your inventory to lock them in. This prevents you from accidentally selling them while you’re negotiating with Steven.
