Ok, hear me out for that unused Joker Card

This card will flip a random collection of cards when obtained. If those cards are played and fit the current hand (not high card) they add a mult to the total of the joker.

So, example, right.

You play 4 diamond cards and a flipped card. If that card is a diamond as well, it adds a certain amount of mult to the total awarded by the chaos theory card when one is played, and then a new card is flipped over.

Chaos theory is a mathematical theory that studies how small differences at the beginning of a system can lead to big differences in the end. It's used to describe complex systems that seem random or unpredictable, but are actually governed by underlying patterns

This fits very well with the definition of Chaos Theory, but I want opinions

i feel like this joker is just a 5x mult for 5oak played thing

Maybe, but I wanted to just write an idea out off the name Chaos Theory

the name "chaos theory" isnt even what it was going to be called

#

the artist just made up the name after the fact

Fair! I simply thought it would be cool to theorize off that
