It would be so cool to see some joker or deck that lets you play six cards
of course this would come with new hand types:
three pair (XXYYZZ)
six of a kind (XXXXXX)
fuller house (XXYYYY)
double triple (XXXYYY)
I think that this could lead into insane new strategies and synergies, further enhancing poker as a concept
As for downside that would come along with this joker/deck, I haven’t decided

this is too much for 1 joker
first you'd need to code in 4 more hands
which means 4 more planets

they could be like stars or moons

100% deck with some major downsides. There would also actually have to be more new hands due to Flush Variants (like Flush 6 and Flusher House) and it would be a pain to make IMO.

Yea like would a strait need 6 cards then instead of 5

And what about a flush it would be confusing and a lot of work for a little thing
Maybe in the future

🤔 How about we don't make new hands, but let the 6th card score if it can also form the same hand with 4 of the original 5 cards? Something like playing 8-9-10-10-J with Four Fingers still lets you score all 5 cards as a Straight (unlike something like 2-8-9-10-J where 2 will not be scored).

interesting

Imagine DNA Flush Five builds playing a 6th Red Seal Poly-Glass card.

okay so what if there was just a joker that would let you play three pair
warm bane
Maybe this could be a deck you get as a reward for being gold stake, or a certain number of gold stakes

For making the implementation simpler, it would still be very useful even if there were no planets that applied to any of the larger hands! Being able to play 6 (or 7!?!) of a kind would be hype

new idea: negative cards

new idea: negative cards
I thought of that
But would that apply to how many you could have in your hand or how many you can play
It would be cool if they could only come from standard packs and give them something unique

glad to see I'm not the only one that got the idea

I've thought of the same too, but if you don't add more hands in though then it's really just a joker that means you play 5 cards + 1 more to discard. Unless it's a stone card, or you have splash, I don't see what'd be the benefit from it.
I DO like the idea of some way to play more than 5 cards, but maybe it should be something like 4 fingers, and it should only work with specific hands?

I mean you’d have to have Flush six and Six of a kind I feel but not any other kinds

new idea: negative cards
Have had the same idea. But it would be too chaotic if you could fill your entire deck with them. Should be some kinda limit, like, duplicating it with 'Death' or 'Cryptid' would remove the 'Negative' from the copy, similar to how certain joker duplications would also remove the negative.
Could be a spectral card that could add it to a chosen / random card, or be a very rare occurence from standard packs.

i was thinking maybe there’d be a legendary that adds a way to get them but it still be difficult
admittedly having new hand types would be really weird

I've thought of the same too, but if you don't add more hands in though then it'...
my idea was to be able to discard more from a single discard and also be able to use stone cards in flush/straight/full house builds

Being able to use stone cards in flushes / straights / 5 of a kind would be amazing. Flushes / straights needs to be buffed as it is.
