Only Smiled

Full Houses can be played with three cards. (Pair and a card of any other rank)

Uncommon or Rare; not sure which would be more reasonable.

Art would be of a small joker with two bigger jokers behind him, all smiling.

(Reasoning: He's an only child, I guess.)

#

Amazing, now we need it where 4 of a kind can be made with three cards!

abstract timber
#

Also, to clarify, Full House can not be 4 cards

#

That's still Two Pair

eternal pelican
#

This would be pretty ridiculous

abstract timber
eternal pelican
#

Very easy full houses

abstract timber
#

Rare then, or nah?

eternal pelican
#

Im not sure

dark atlas
#

It's always the highest hand your played cards can make, that scores.

eternal pelican
#

How is that inconsistent

#

It would score full house instead of pair

dark atlas
#

I meant the mechanic in the message I replied to

eternal pelican
#

Oh

#

It would score full house instesd of two pair

#

So

abstract timber
#

So nvm, I guess 4 cards should be Full House regardless? Idk

eternal pelican
#

It could function the same but the rest of the two pair wouldnt score

#

Because its a full house

abstract timber
#

True

#

Oh, so that gives it...some kind of downside

eternal pelican
#

Maybe

abstract timber
#

Or at least makes certain other Jokers have anti-synergies

#

None come to mind currently but whatever

eternal pelican
#

Pantaloons

#

Of the spare variety

abstract timber
#

I was trying to think of stuff other than things specifically wanting Two Pair

eternal pelican
#

Ermm

abstract timber
#

Is Square Joker based on cards played or scored?

eternal pelican
#

Glass cards fr

abstract timber
#

Played, right?

eternal pelican
abstract timber
#

Yeah, ok, so my idea for an anti-synergy is wrong 😔

#

I figured

#

Although yeah, if you want more cards to be scored, you get less cards scored than you want

#

Since all Two Pairs result in a 3 card Full House instead

#

🤷‍♀️

eternal pelican
#

If you want to score more cards simply play a 5 card full house

abstract timber
#

Well yeah

#

But if you can't then ig there's something

#

Since 5 cards is a little unreliable compared to 3

#

Or smth

#

Striking Pants's Joker Ideas

#

Also this will now contain multiple joker ideas, since I currently have another in mind but have no idea what it would enable

#

I have no name for it tho

#

It turns all 1s into 0s

#

Which does mean it takes 0 joker slots if it's the only joker you have

#

Although that obviously doesn't make it good

#

Ig not all 1s into 0s

#

Not stuff like boss blinds and such

#

That would be ridiculous

#

Bc you'd instantly die to Needle 💀

Solitary Nilsson

Played Aces are debuffed, but while you have at least 2 Joker slots taken up, played cards of other ranks give +68 chips and +19 mult when scored.

Rare

Art is a white joker silhouette on a black card.

#

If I should make it only boost face cards but make it uncommon, that would make sense.

#

Also, to clarify, it would be 2 Joker slots taken when including this Joker.

#

...Yeah on second thought this one's insane 💀

#

Face cards only is probably fine

steel otter
#

What is that even referencing

abstract timber
#

"One" by Harry Nilsson

#

Aka "One is the Loneliest Number" but the original

#

Not the cover

steel otter
#

Did that song come out in 1968?

abstract timber
#

Yeah

#

That's why the numbers are so absurd lmao

steel otter
#

That feels like a pretty arbitrary way to reference that song

#

And not something like

#

"if first played hand is a single ace" yada yada

abstract timber
#

Well the chips and mult are to give it a use, mainly

I want it to debuff Aces to make them...basically zeroes? Since 1 is the loneliest number and all

#

I felt like that was thematically appropriate

#

Although I see your point

#

To be fair

#

I'm trying to think of the most fitting effect for what would happen if the first played hand is a single Ace

#

I almost want to say it could level up Pair, Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind, and Five of a Kind? Is that too much?

#

I'd imagine it would be

#

Maybe just Pair? Since that does fit the song

#

Where it only mentions 1 being worse than 2

steel otter
#

If it's just pair that's dogwater

abstract timber
#

Two Pair too, ig?

#

Obviously it's either too bad or too good I feel

steel otter
#

I think 2/3/4/5 OaK all getting leveled up is more tame than you think

abstract timber
#

Eh, probably

steel otter
#

Because that's just one level per round

abstract timber
#

True

#

True

#

Yeah, now that I think about it, that is tame

abstract timber
#

This...does make more sense. Also would probably be Uncommon.

eternal pelican
#

Burnt joker but better

abstract timber
#

Huh, true, lol

#

Tossed Shorts

Uncommon

This Joker gains +1 Mult if played hand contains a Pair.

Has good synergy with Spare Trousers to an extent, and is basically just its little brother.

#

Honestly a silly idea more than anything, but not a meme idea tbh

oak flame
tribal acorn
#

too slow scaling to be worth it imo

abstract timber
abstract timber
#

@oak flame Would 22 chips be good, or no?

#

22 because that's two 2s, which I think is clever parallelism (it's not)

#

Tossed Shorts's Joker Ideas

tribal acorn
#

runner is 15 for playing a straight

abstract timber
#

Ah, right

#

Gen forgor about Runner being a good one to look at for this

#

Would 8 be ok? Or is that also too much?

oak flame
#

It needs to be between 4 (square) and 15 (runner), and square is considered pretty bad so maybe 6 or 8?

#

Thing is this would be very easy to trigger every turn so I don't know what would be the best number for it

dusky skiff
#

i could see 8

abstract timber
#

I was gonna say I think 8 would be pretty good

abstract timber

Flop Jacque

Uncommon

Any cards played but not part of a hand give 0.5× more Mult. (Almost the same as "Any cards played but not scored give 0.5× more Mult," but I want Splash to synergize with this. Also, to clarify how it works, it's basically that each additional card would make it go from 1× to 1.5× to 2× to 2.5× to 3×.)

Art shows...a fish.

#

Do you mean unscored cards

abstract timber
#

I mean specifically cards that don't make up the poker hand played (ie: any card played other than a high card in a High Card hand)

oak flame
#

This is a 5x with high card

#

Oh wait it's additive

#

Still, a 3x on high card is way too high and the game doesn't need more high card support

abstract timber
#

Fair

#

If I made it based on scored cards only and made it 0.25× instead, would that be better? Still synergizes with Splash in a sense
