joker poker - done already
ABC challenge (have all jokers in alphabetical order during blind play) - uncompleted
how bout a spreadsheet of this
we already do kinda
Math is already keeping a spreadsheet, yeah?
yeah
yea but that's wr stuff
nah it's challenges too
wr is my thing
we just gotta ask nicely hey here are challenges put them in please
WR is kinda like challenges :3
doubt :3
lol
math is also keeping track of world records, but it's good to have more than one record-keeper
That section will focus more on things difficult to accomplish rather than kinda random funny WRs
👍
temp joker: forced to sell a joker 3 rounds after it's bought
Some things like high score and speedruns are a bit of both though, and if other score attack categories become optimized I’ll place them there too
By the way if anyone else wants edit access to the seed list/challenge tracker just let me know
Not sure how busy I'll be to keep it well-maintained at all times
Challenges from the Sept. Demo that can carry over to this demo:
- Same card in every hand: You can only play poker hands that score at least 1 of a card with a specific suit and rank, for example the 5 of Diamonds. You may choose this card at any time, so long as it is/was played in every hand in the run.
- Fullskip: You must skip every Small and Big blind.
- Boosterless: No Arcana/Celestial/Spectral packs, including from skips.
- Poor Man's Challenge: You must end every shop at $0. Selling will help with weird remaining money amounts.
- Jokerless: You must never own jokers during the run, including owning them during shop phase.
- Highlander: You must never play more than 1 hand of the same kind (e.g. no playing 2 high cards during the run)
- Super Highlander: You must play exactly 1 of each poker hand during the run (either no secret hands or both secret hands)
- Blurry Face: You are only allowed to score Face cards.
- Special Edition Jokers only: You can only take special edition jokers into blinds and bosses. You may have non-special editions in the shop or between blinds. Using Judgment is allowed at any point, so long as non-special editions are sold.
- Chips Only: You may not gain mult from any source, including Planets and Xmult. Chips and lvl 1 base hands are the only ways to scale score.
- Xmult Only: You may not gain chips from any source other than the base chips value of poker hands and playing cards (i.e. 9 giving 9 chips, but no heirophant for bonus chips). You may only gain mult from Xmult sources (Jokers, Glass cards).
- Exactsies: Every blind you face must be beaten with an exact total score, i.e. total of 300 for small blind 1.
- Super Exactsies: Complete Exactsies either without skipping, or with only 1 hand each round.
- High Card Only: Win with only High Card. (Can also replace with poker hand of choice, but each hand will have varying difficulty to achieve.)
- Stone Only: You may only score Stone cards the entire run.
Proposed Challenges:
✅ ABC challenge: During every blind, Jokers must be ordered alphabetically.
✅ Super ABC: Every purchase in your run must be in alphabetical order, carrying across rounds. Name is determined by what the tooltip says the name is for the item. (E.g. buying Green Joker means you can't purchase Buffoon Pack for the rest of the run, but you can buy Jumbo or Mega Buffoon.)
- Score Reversal: Final Mult for each hand played must be higher than the final Chips for that hand.
- [reserved space]
I'll have this be a place to record incomplete challenges in case anyone wants to go bounty hunting
so come up with any idea and I'll throw it on the bounty board
I can add a lot of these to my spreadsheet once things settle down
you're keeping track of incompletes then?
yeah, that way it gives people an idea of what to go for
ok cool 👍
and if there are challenges people are close to getting that need an effort by the community to reach (e.g. seed search for runs like stone only) then progress updates could be tracked there
Speaking of which, Stone Cards Only should totally be a thing on here
Score Reversal: Mult must always be higher than chip when the final chip and mult are shown
I thought Stone Cards Only was difficult enough that one completion was enough, but I can put it back on since you requested.
that's a neat one, i like it
it mainly depends on getting a strong seed
it'll be really brutal with Cerulean Bell
just gotta skip once or twice
yeah getting that first hand mult up is interesting
you have to play high card or something lol
high card -5
anyone wanna do jokerless oneshot
Eternally Eternal: All jokers are eternal
Balalocke (pronouced ba-la-lock):
No discards
No rerolls
No skipping
No planets
No tarots
Must sell a joker at the start of each blind
who wants to try 
lets go i still get packs and vouchers
#🕹・game-discussion message
Joker Poker reference
ooh challenge
trust its not possible i pulled it out of nothing
only one way to find out
lmao
do it without set seed
also you cant get the hook otherwise its a immediate reset
you are the 2nd person to say the mark instead of the hook
im sorry
I'm assuming no skipping blinds?
oh yeah missed that
regular joker poker is no skip
jokerpoker+ but no hand levels, deck altering, or joker surpluses
gotcha

the 5th joker was fortune teller to keep track of tarots
oh sell a joker every blind sucks
gotcha
you basically can never be broke
lmao
but now you can check in collections so i don't gotta do that anymore
unironically the best deck for this would be blue no?
and the best joker would be throwback 
green is goated
if i got hand voucher i could've gotten 95 mult
but im fine with 75
give me the focking club
