Calling Cards

[bitter barn]

have you ever wanted raven-themed jokers? no? well too bad, they're here.

I plant to have at least 5 of them by the time I'm done, but I'm just at these for now.

Descriptions coming soon!

The Claw: +5 Mult per card in played hand if the hand has 4 or more cards

I kind of think of this one as a inverse/counterpart to Half Joker, since the +Mult is about the same at the most basic level (+20 Mult for 4/+25 Mult for 5)

I did want to incentivise always playing 5 cards, since that's how you get max value from the card

The Feather: Creates a base copy of the last card in played hand

No real deep thought behind this one, I just wanted to see if I could get it working properly (which wasn't too hard, actually)

The Eye: Every Joker bought becomes negative, -$9 on top of the inflated card cost

This is more of a later-game card in my head, since you pay the -$9 even into the negatives on top of the already increased cost of a negative joker

I'd imagine it'd pair well with Credit Card, if you happen to chance upon it before getting this card

Haven't seen it happen ingame yet

The Bone: All discarded Glass cards break, gains double their ranks as Mult

The original concept of this card was every glass card in the played hand broke, but it looked too janky for me to leave it like that

So I settled for this version instead

That's it for now! I have to add a few more, since I'm making this for school, but I need to come up with more/better ideas lmao

as you can see in the background, there are a lot of things that can happen with the eye lol

abstract joker was pretty helpful this run

the first set of five is done! github coming soon

really cool idea, i think its really good so far, and love the art, i feel like the eye can enable a lot of crazy late game shenanigans with good econ

[bitter barn]

yeah I really like the eye

[bitter barn]

so I've decided to make several sets of cards, each themed on one animal

[graceful mango]

nice

[uneven plover]

can you do a crocodile lol

[bitter barn]

I'll add it to the list

[uneven plover]

lets gooo

[bitter barn]

currently working on the snake

first card concept

[uneven plover]

thats rly cool

kinda like static madness no scaling

would be strong on higher stakes for sure

2nd thing i think it would be cool for each animal to have their own rarity name/color wise but equalize the rarity to whatever the card was going to be anyways

just think it would look cooler

also just curious are you gonna do the same amount of jokers per animal or different bc ngl i have no idea how many other body parts you can do for snake lol tongue and tail maybe

the scale as well maybe

[bitter barn]

I plan on five for each, but they're not all going to be body parts

[uneven plover]

ooh ok
