Four Fingers / Shortcut interaction

[low fog]

This shouldn't be a straight flush, right? The spades don't form a straight. So I assume the condition is "4 cards in a row" and "4 times the same suit" seperately, but not "4 cards in a row of a specific suit".

[pliant mountain]

The hand contains both a flush and a straight, so it is a straight flush

[low fog]

Is there any other interaction where a card counts for one part of the condition, and another card for the other part of the condition?

[pliant mountain]

No, because Four Fingers is like the only card that can allow it

Nothing else reduces the requirements for hands

You also don't even need Shortcut, Four Fingers heavily enables Straight Flushes on its own

Ah I see, I'll reflair

[pliant mountain]

You could have Diamond Ace, King, Jack, and Eight, and a Clubs Queen, and score a Straight Flush with Four Fingers

Four Fingers sees that Ace King Jack Queen is a straight, and Ace King Jack Eight is a flush, and since the hand checks off both straight and flush, it's a straight flush

[winter ruin]

uh...

yes thats intended

the shortcut AND four fingers make the straight and flush

four fingers responsible for flush, shrotcut responsible for straight

straight + flush = straight flush

[brittle perch]

Flush house and flush 5

With 4 fingers

+1 to OP that this is a bug.

It’s of course up to the game designers, but IMO four fingers should not treat a card as a “wild” suit, essentially. I understand the logic of “straight + flush = straight flush” but don’t agree with it in the gameplay. In my mind, Suits should be strict, and that’s the point of wild suits and specific jokers.

I also don’t recall this behavior in the switch version either

This discussion has been had many times, but it is intentional according to the developer.
