[random rover]

A mod based on adding mechanics, jokers and consumables based upon card and board games
Make suggestions for interesting games :3

[subtle bough]

Chinese checkers!

[random rover]

So far i plan to include:
Jokers based on the playable characters from Clue
Chess Jokers
A mechanic based on Go, may be a joker but could also work as a voucher

[random rover]

Any ideas on how to implement it :?

[random rover]

oh and community chest and chance from monopoly

[subtle bough]

Probably just stare at images of the board and think about what could be done with it. There are six colors on the board, three of which are common in Balatro: chips for blue, red for mult, yellow for money. Green, white and black could be other things. Green could have something to do with small or big blinds, since the background is green then, but not in boss blinds. White and black could work with unmodified or negative cards, since they have similar color schemes. Then the card could change effects each blind in a rotation, matching the turn order of the game.

oooo

i gotta find a coder lol

[subtle bough]

waves hello Am not great at it, though.

Maybe coding for someone else will refresh Axy on Axy's own coding stuff

[random rover]

hai ^w^

Hows this for a description for CC

it might be a bit too broken even for a legendary lol

[subtle bough]

Ooh, interesting effects. Could probably add some code for a dynamic description, or changing the sprite based on which color is up next. Maybe if the values start at 1 and cap at some value?

And could make some effects detrimental, like losing money rather than gaining it, or being negative only for one ante

[random rover]

Sprite change would be nice, not sure how negative coloring works but maybe we could do a color shift like how negative makes colors negative

[subtle bough]

For an example of how Axy deals with dynamic descriptions, see the Zohnathan joker in Axy's mod, [here](#1381306302889722037 message).

[random rover]

well unmodifying your cards is almost always a detriment but good point on the money

[subtle bough]

It's a shader on top of the card, it's automatically applied when you set the edition on a card, so you don't have to worry about that part.

We could make that specific sprite be negative, so when the shader is applied certain colors look "normal".

[random rover]

Something like this might be a bit more balanced, not sure how to mess with the (caps at 25) value to make it look nicer tho

hmm

also if i was willing to make the description even longer i would have the +1 effect work like green joker lol

since its in the slot of the green playing pieces

@subtle bough also if you do decide to help with the coding here, may I get your time zone :3?

[subtle bough]

Axy's sleep schedule is a mess, so Axy currently sleeps from about 5 hours from now, until about 13 hours from now

interesting games i know of from my experience playing clubhouse games ds:
-hanafuda (probably already been done)
-bozu mekuri, uta-garuta, or just any kind of karuta in general
-sugoroku
-gunjin shogi/stratego?
-shogi, or other chesslikes like xiangqi or makruk
-if you're going to have Go you could probably also have gomoku
-backgammon?
-reversi/othello

[subtle bough]

This will likely shift later xD

[sinful phoenix]

i apologize for the spam

[random rover]

I actually sprited some hanafuda cards already, thanks for reminding me of them lol

[random rover]

all good

Im thinking for the Clue characters they can apply new suits based on their names to scored cards

[subtle bough]

Haven't really played Clue, so

[random rover]

it's a deduction game, been a while since I played but i don't think any of its mechanics could be moved into balatro so ill just have it be a reference with a new mechanic

[subtle bough]

flips the joker cards over, asks you to deduce which card is the murderer

[random rover]

in theory you could do something like that but I think it distracts from the game a bit too much

[subtle bough]

Fair, fair

[random rover]

Sternhalma (Chinese checkers) dev art done

[random rover]

@subtle bough think we could brainstorm some ideas later?

[subtle bough]

Sure, just send pings or DM or whatnot, and we can chat when we get to it. Probably good to put it here, in case you wanted to get other opinions or something.

[random rover]

I'll put down some ideas i have in a message rq, ittl mostly be western and or modern games since that's what I'm most familiar with

Go voucher: assigns a quarter the players deck a White Stone and a quarter the players deck a Black Stone when redeemed (rounding up in the case of odd number card decks) each scoring non white/black stone card between two scoring stone cards (either both white or both black) adds +X1 mult
Example: a royal flush where the first card in scoring order is a white stone card and the last scoring card is a white stone card would have and Xmult of X3
Now that i think about it making the cards variants of base game stone cards rather than like a custom stamp would be cool
I'm gonna post this and get something to eat rq then I'll be back

[random rover]

Meant to make that a reply qmq

[subtle bough]

Hm... It might be possible to make a black stone and white stone enchantment, apply that to a quarter each of the player's deck, then trigger xMult on the second custom enchantment of the same color in a scored hand.

[random rover]

Plum, mustard, scarlet, peacock, white and green editions each corresponding to a clue character joker

Possibly clue themed consumables
