#balatro 20 questions

thats true
Let people ask at their own pace, except at maximum pace of consecutive questions
yeah
waiting for a long time to ask my next question makes it boring
esp if someone asks before me
maybe keep a player limit to not make it chaotic?
also i agree that overdoing rules probably isnt a good idea
Literally every competitive sport is constantly adding rules a mile long
just ask people to not spam questions
yea this is for fun, it doesnt have to be nothing crazy
Whereas the playground/backyard games can be explained in a minute
âGM can refuse to answer questions that they feel are uncreativeâ
Solves everything in practice and nothing on paper
i think the only thing we disagree on is this one rule being necessary or not
yeah honestly chaos made it fun yesterday
So yes, I think the idea of a rulebook is silly
And will just result in people playing 2 games and inventing a gamemode lol
I think the idea of some basic rules is completely valid
Yes and no questions is currently a viable modifier
the GM can choose to change the game how they wish
cause they are hosting it
i think that works best
whats GM
the host
Iâm telling you you donât want a rulebook longer than 3 sentences
yea
i do think the rulebook should be a thing where its more like "suggestions for rules"
and its some basic stuff that basically everyone will agree on
Slightly more pointless
like no spamming chat with questions every second
nah i mean like
set it up in a way that when someone comes here to host a game
they can just host it how they want
-
only Yes/No questions about the joker's abilities are allowed.
-
questions about the joker's appearance, rarity, cost/sell value and it's spellings are not allowed.
-
cannot ask two or more questions consecutively, ask only after someone else has asked a question after you. (exception: you're the only one guessing)
-
you have 3 lives, can keep asking questions about the joker's abilities but guessing the joker's name wrong costs you 1 life.
final rules
like some baseline rules perhaps just being "dont spam the chat with questions/dont ask consecutive questions"
Spelling makes sense but I donât get appearance
and then if ur doing a game where its like this then maybe you can be a bit more relaxed on the second rule for example
appearance is not fun
"does it have red hair?"
I think the second rule can go as well, and honestly a really easy way to make this flexible and fun is to just say "the current host has discretion over the questions they choose to answer"

idk man
Unfortunately the issue there is it might make the joker they have in mind obvious
âDonât guess rarityâ
âOh so itâs rare or legendaryâ
No Iâm talking about discretion
then whats the solution
Literally every rule you can come up with will be restrictive in some irritating sense. âIs this rule okayâ the answer is eventually no
thats like literally my point fam
Change literally everything about the game as you want
just remove half the rules and have the host decide what they wanna answer
and the players decide
should we allow "is it a food joker?"
either way theres already an idea of doing gamemodes that change how you play
so i mean at this point this game is whatever you want
We arenât going down to individual question types
i mean it can count as an appearance question
Iâd ban you from touching the rulebook if I could
its his rulebook 
Great example of an issue with that rule
hes EVIL
how
i think how about we just let people ask what they want to ask unless its clearly meant to get around some basic rule in place like how the life system works
Or should I start asking âis it a joker with an effect that mimics a consumable, expected to be temporary or destructive of itselfâ
Like no
Let the GM decide
^
me agree
i think i agree that any rules to do with what questions you can ask should not be rules
âIâm not saying if itâs a food joker or notâ
and people now know itâs a food joker
to be honest
Again; thatâs the issue with GM being who dictates the rules. It becomes viable strategy against the gm
i dont see ur point at all
if i say "no comment" they have no other information
either way thats a very weird scenario
because like whos gonna ever say its a food joker or not
how about this: the group of people playing collectively agree on rules stated
also i think the point of GM isnt to "win"
just like we've been doing from before
yea just have like the most basic shit as actual rules
like "you have 3 lives, if u make a guess incorrectly you lose a life" and like basically thats the only rule you really need
Aarush literally had that thought rn
just like i told you the rules one by one and you agreed
yes but my point is
like the only reason anyone should be refusing a question if its trying to bend the rules
thats why im saying keep the actual rules as like literally 1-2 max
Sure
like really the only rule you really need is "you have lives"
i dont like the GM choosing rules according to his chosen jokers idea
just collectively decide on the rules
this is again whatever because the rules will literally change on a dime between sessions
yea
Exactly what will happen
like thats my point
yeah
thats a better way than having rules that make people annoyed
You arenât making the game better youâre just adding moderation
When the GM already did that
true
it feels like your flip flopping between sides dude
who
i think what we are agreeing here is just that lets go as you play
Literally just donât enter games with static precedents
afaik
and just have the most basic ass first principles atomic rules
nothing about "you cant ask questions this way"
just like "you have 3 lives"
and if im a dude saying "is it a joker that copies a card to its right" then host can decide what he thinks of that question
honestly sending something like this in chat
questions about the joker's appearance, rarity, cost/sell value and it's spellings are not allowed.
will make new players a bit uninterested compared to just telling it one by one
whether it violates the spirit of the rule
i didnt get what u meant
like people don't wanna read a rule book
just friendly tell them the rules one by one
like i did you
thats why its best to just have very simple rules
only Yes/No questions about the joker's abilities are allowed.
cannot ask two or more questions consecutively, ask only after someone else has asked a question after you. (exception: you're the only one guessing)
you have 3 lives, can keep asking questions about the joker's abilities but guessing the joker's name wrong costs you 1 life.
this is basically just instructions on how to play
yeah
like this is the most fundamental rules
that works
all else is unneedd

bro thinking about erosion

ermmmm
Is it bootstraps
can you scale it if you have no shops at all
Good one
Idk how that wouldnât be flashcard tbh

Itâs theoretically possible to scale many things without a ship
im thinking red card but no
ima be âing for 10 mins straight
Does it scale in *intervals of 1
can its mult number go down?
wdym intervals
...
so flash may right
We guessed flash no?

he said not flash
Does doing the thing that scales the joker
someone lost a loive
You said no to âor notâ
damn
.
Is it swashbuckler
just making sure, can you scale it if you have no shops at all (but non-shoprelated skip tags functioning normally)
red card
you cannot scale it without seeing a shop
ok
yippee
well you can scale it without seeing the shop
was that ur last life
wait it was red card?

ti AN
mb
Skip for pack

k
ok i got a joker
Can it add to score/ is scoring
copy?
Does it have yellow text in the effect bonus (related to cash)
is it utility
hold on lemme check
Teehee
nah its gonna be no
define utility
does it have effect on other jokers
Stuff that changes hand and discard ratios
Makes rounds easier to accomplish a goal with
orange text is not yellow text i assume
so no
^
is it a retriggering effect
idk how that question works to be fair
They said not scoring
is it money related
it is create a card?
Retriggers score lol
it can change the amount of money you recieve if you trigger its ability
no
chad is not a scoring joker
its a retriggering joker
no đ
You score
is it econ
so that means burnt joker is scoring joker
oh someone has asked before
No, cause you canât discard and score
retrigger jokers are scoring jokers
But if you play a hand - thatâs scoring
i dont agree chad being scoring
You are scoring points with that joker as it scores points
im waiting for a hope
i thought scoring means retrigger/+chips/+mult/xmult thats it?
ahh ok
Cause those are all score effects
guessing i think
is it scoring
does it have effect within a round
by within i mean before you click the claim money button
Is it a cashout effect
does it have a downside
not econ
kind of?
What
is it regular joker sized and shaped
Cashout means it changes the cashout screen
is it mr.bones
đ

Does it trigger per blind (or can it trigger more than blinds played)
is it related to money/sell value in any way
does it ench card played?
it does not strictly trigger per blind
Does it trigger in a round
idk how to answer this
Does it trigger between the start of a round and the shop after
it can
does it triger while playing a hand
it can
can it affect the amount you score (i.e. is it possible to score more because you have it)
Is it a cashout effect
depends
it triggers while playing a hand chat
We said not scoring thoughâŠ
im waiting
Is it blueprint
-1
is it diet cola
yes
that relates to sell value imo
đ
that also isnt passive?

you cannot sell something while playing a hand

does its card art have a joker (like its not an object) in it
Appearance is banned, but Iâll answer and say no it doesnât have a jimbo style card art
cant asp appearance
oh sorry is it mb mb
Nah doesnât matter
does it +mult depend on ur joker?
Itâs to stop narrowing down by color
Elaborate
is it related to a certain rank
does it involve rng

shoot the queen
is it "when scored"
Winner
