Currently, every rank except 3, 5, and 7 has a joker that interacts specifically with that rank of card (I count walkie talkie as interacting with specifically 10s and 4s). It'd be neat to fill out the set, but I have no idea what theming and effects these hypothetical jokers should have.
#some jokers that interact with 3s, 5s, 7s

Hack and Fibb work with 3 and 5, only 7 is missing something
magic tusk
And 7s are too average to matter

At this point if thunk doesn’t add a 7s joker then I’d be shocked, it’s probably a top 3 most requested thing

thing is, those jokers aren't designed for only 3s or only 5s
look at all the other ranks
A - Scholar
K - Baron
Q - Shoot the Moon
J - Hit the Road
10 - Walkie-talkie
9 - Cloud 9
8 - Magic 8 ball
7 - nothing
6 - Sixth sense
5 - nothing
4 - Walkie-talkie
3 - nothing
2 - Wee joker

7 should be luck related
plain isle
yeah one thing i'd thought of for theming would be a joker that makes 7's always trigger any RNG effects
but this would be game-breaking in early game just because of the econ
i think a better idea would be a 1/7 chance to earn $7 any time a 7 scores
as for a 3-themed joker, you could easily have "x3 mult if played hand contains exactly three 3s", but idk what the theming would be
actually wait that'd just be an objectively worse the trio

This doesn't seem very good honestly

neither is 8 ball

Just because bad jokers exist doesn't mean you should be making more bad jokers
plain isle
honestly i thought of a dumb idea for 3s
no wait my dumb idea wouldn't work because it involves aces and 2s
based around the holy hand grenade of antioch though

Idk if walkie talkie should count
plain isle
i do agree it is debatable
magic tusk
Its like fibonacci, taking a classic saying or mathematical theorem and making an ability based off it
plain isle
however, i counted it because a lot of other jokers that group ranks together do so because of some property those ranks have (even numbers, odd numbers, face cards, fibonacci numbers)
magic tusk
IMO it counts as much as fibonacci does because they have the same basis- overall i agree though
plain isle
meanwhile "10" and "4" have no intrinsic connection other than the radio theming
magic tusk
however, i counted it because a lot of other jokers that group ranks together do...
10-4 is a reference though, which is the connection itself
plain isle
and the joker itself is very themed around 10 and 4

If Scholar counts walkie talkie counts
plain isle
...why wouldn't scholar count, it's explicitly only aces
magic tusk
If Scholar counts walkie talkie counts
Im saying walkie talkie is about on par with fibonacci in validity for being a Joker based off a single card
Scholar counting isnt anywhere near the same
uncut fern
Then fib should count too
magic tusk
Then fib should count too
Which was my tuought process lol
plain isle
q/k already have their own dedicated jokers
uncut fern
Womp womp
magic tusk
Trib does count
Its just a redundancy
We're not counting how many are based off rank, but which ranks just outright do/don't have a joker
10, 4, 5 and 3 are in a grey zone (walkie talkie and fib(
7 is the only truly lonely number
plain isle
how potentially gamebreaking would "1/7 chance for played 7s to give x7 mult" be
if you get 3 oops all 6s then that's x7 per retrigger which is insanely fast
uncut fern
It is
plain isle
i'm not concerned about it being underpowered
i'm concerned about it being overpowered
uncut fern
Its not
It's I think interestingly powered
On one hand that's a shit ton of mult
On the other that's a pretty low chance to build around
