Skateboard - Rare Joker
For each unique Hand Type played, gains 1x Mult.
Resets at end of Round.
Currently: 0x

Starts at 0x, but the first hand played raises it to 1x

For the first hand type, the (name of hand type) appears under the joker, then “1x”.
For each following hand type, shows “+(name of hand type)” under the joker, then the new xMult.

The Skateboard is a reference to older Skating games (like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater) where you would rack up a combo of various tricks in order to get a high score.

So I think this has potential, but it competes a lot with Acrobat

#

You’d be able to pretty easily get a 3x from this before the final round with the starting 4 hands, and it scales super high with vouchers and burglar (burglar ruining yet another idea 😡).

Starting at 1x for the first hand then growing by .5x seems balanced enough while not being overpowered. You’d be able to pretty easily play a HC and a Pair and it’s a pretty free 2x

Burglar ruining this assumes you can find additional hand types with those hands, though. You obviously can find HC, Pair, 3oaK, and 2P, but then it becomes harder to find other hands before running out and you still need to play a good enough scoring hand to finish the blind. Without discards, guaranteeing each hand is a new type is fairly difficult.

This is exactly what the showboating joker is, it was a joker suggestion, but it is a cool idea

possible nerf would be for it to also reset for repeat pokerhands, as well as at the end of the round

Be cool if it was per every DISCARDED unique poker hand, better opportunity to scale

I think this has been suggested before, but I like it so i +1'd it

A while back there was something similar, but it was a flat 3x after 3 Different Hands iirc instead of Scaling with each hand.
