golden mural
#

exotic sail
noble current
#

lol

#

math is also keeping track of world records, but it's good to have more than one record-keeper

marsh totem
#

That section will focus more on things difficult to accomplish rather than kinda random funny WRs

noble current
#

👍

#

temp joker: forced to sell a joker 3 rounds after it's bought

marsh totem
#

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

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

marsh totem
#

I can add a lot of these to my spreadsheet once things settle down

noble current
#

you're keeping track of incompletes then?

marsh totem
#

yeah, that way it gives people an idea of what to go for

noble current
#

ok cool 👍

marsh totem
#

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

cloud wolf
#

Score Reversal: Mult must always be higher than chip when the final chip and mult are shown

noble current
#

I thought Stone Cards Only was difficult enough that one completion was enough, but I can put it back on since you requested.
