Joker Card Indicators

[cedar frigate]

A lot of times, i personally haave had issues where i forget to utilise certain abilities of a joker during a round. For example:

Using the effects of trading card joker before discarding multiple cards at once.

Or, using Vagabond to maximize the tarot card making.

My suggestion is to add some sort of indicator to these types of jokers, maybe it says "ready" underneath the joker to show it's effect could be applied, so people like me don't always forget to use the joker effects.
However, I am well aware that this may be a skill issue on my part and Thunk probably wants the players to be more attentive to the gameplay, so adding it isn't a huge deal.

this would be nice. currently the only way to show a joker is "active" is if it's shaking (like invisible joker). it would be nice if there were some other effect like a glow or smth

the jiggle is fine

everyone loves a jiggle 🙂

maybe a cool ittle On/Off indicator would be nice

lol i was going to write something up after watching Gothics video. Thanks for saving me time

my suggestion is that all of the limited duration jokers follow what loyalty card does. It shakes when it is active and its impossible to miss. Same approach would be appreciated for DNA and Trading card

if anything for consistency

was about to say that

(loyalty card)

I feel like loyalty and invisible have a wind-up feel to them

I'm up for it saying On when the round starts
and Off when the ability is deactivated for DNA and Trading Card like what enemui said

Does Banana still say Safe when not destroyed?

A border around jokers that are eligible to activate might make sense. Like if you select 4 different suits, flower pot could have a highlighted border around it.

Or ... jokers eligible to activate from the selected hand could raise up slightly, the way scoring cards raise up.

[pulsar wraith]

i think that’s kinda unintuitive, considering jokers are only raised up when selected

[copper tusk]

Against raising up, I'm for the border but it would need some tweaking

The 4 corners light up lol

Or they have a flame effect on them for some reason
