Joker of all trades: gain x0.25 mult for every consecutive hand played that is different from previous. Reset to x1 if the same hand is played twice in a row

House Party: the pair in a full house adds their rank to mult (face cards are ten) and the three of a kind adds their rank to chips

Stacked deck: add the number of the most common card in your deck to mult (ex. if your deck contains 20 aces then +20 mult)

Pale Joker: x3 mult if 1/2 of your deck is a single suit

Event Horizon: gain x0.5 mult when (specific rank) is destroyed. Changes every trigger

isnt joker of all trades just obelisk

Obelisk is more about building an “obelisk” of one singular hand type so you can play all the others freely when you have padding. This is more about forcing the player to be diverse with every hand. You can play 20 high cards followed by 19 4 of a kinds with obelisk. That wouldn’t work here

Correction: House Party should say add 10x rank of the three of a kind to chips (three 9s would be +90 chips)

house party would suck

#

fullhouse in general just sucks

#

pale joker is another one of those "feed the super lategame endless runs" type cards

#

they get tiring after the 10th person suggests another way to get a negative

#

I like event horizon a lot but it'd probably have to go down to 1.25x

I think joker of all trades is too easily exploited, you just build a two hand deck, or a one hand deck that isn’t high card. Then just play high card every other hand.
