Call me Chip (challenge)

[ancient bronze]

Alternative title: "The name's Chip"

Custom rules:

• The only possible enhancements are Bonus, Wild, Stone and Gold
• The only possible edition is Foil (negative for jokers is still possible)
  Initial Jokers/consumables/etc:
• The Hierophant, Aura
• Tarot Merchant, Tarot Tycoon, Magic Trick, Illusion
  Deck:
• all Queens are Stone cards
• otherwise standard
  Restrictions:
• Banned vouchers: Telescope, Observatory
• Banned Jokers: All those that give +Mult or xMult in any way.
• Banned consumables: Magician, Empress, Chariot, Justice, Hex

Basically it's a chips only challenge, the only hope for mult is through leveling up hands. Which is also made a bit harder through the banned vouchers and the vouchers you start with.
I personally don't know if this is to hard, I have no way of testing it.
But a simple way of tweaking it is through the vouchers, as I already pointed out.

I removed it after other people have upvoted. but it's easier for people to engage when there's already a thing you only have to click on.

[jade temple]

[ancient bronze]

[spiral marlin]

[jade temple]

[spiral marlin]

The -4000 social credits should've shown it was a joke.. .-.

Why are queens stoned at the beginning?

You can get +mult from standard packs (mult enh or poly/holo ench)

So when implementing you'd need to remember to edit the pools for that as well.

[ancient bronze]

Because "Chip" is a male name. It's mostly for fun. But also to start the game with stone cards for an early boost in score (chip wise at least) and the possibility to go stones early through Stone Joker.

[ancient bronze]

The first two lines in the challenge description I provided are limiting the enhancements and editions to those that give chips or are not providing extra score.
I guess I could've also pointed out that things like Holographic edition is banned

[plucky bluff]

I don't think there's a mechanism in the game to ban specific editions

You'd have to ban wheel and aura entirely

[delicate frigate]

You would have to lovely patch the code that wheel, aura, standard packs, joker spawning, etc use to assign editions and change the pool if this challenge is active.

[plucky bluff]

Yeah

Which is why I think this doesn't fit vanilla

[delicate frigate]

I think it's fine, just some work

Many challenges change other basic things that have no equivalent in the game, like what does and doesn't give money

[plucky bluff]

That's fair

But we do have some precedent for that in green deck

[delicate frigate]

Short list of effects in Challenge that has no equivalent in standard decks:

1. Disabling all blind rewards (Omelette, Partial: Mad World, Cruelty).
2. Chips cannot exceed current $s. (Rich Get Richer)
3. Pinned effect (On a Knife's Edge)
4. -1 hand size per $5 (Luxury Tax)
5. Debuff cards after playing (Double or Nothing)
6. Locking jokers slots (Typecast)
7. Permanent increases to prices after every purchase (Inflation)
8. Discards cost $1 (Golden Needle)
9. No jokers in the shop (Bram Poker, Jokerless)

[plucky bluff]

Fair enough actually
