Fiches Suggestion

[copper bough]

what

[robust mulch]

For example: there’s a blind with 22000 fiches and maybe you get 30000 fiches. The 8000 fiches that are spared should’ve been added to the next blind (maybe with 25000 (I don’t remember))

[copper bough]

this wouldn't do too much unless your build is really good

[robust mulch]

So? That would help

[copper bough]

if your build scores enough to use this mechanic, you don't need the help

it's also weird to add a completely new gameplay feature when the entire rest of the game is built with not having it

[robust mulch]

But let’s make an example with the 22000 blind of before: LET'S SAY AS AN EXAMPLE that you made 47000 fiches. You could make 2 BLINDS

[copper bough]

and if you're scoring that much with one hand

you'd win anyways

[robust mulch]

Where’s the problem?

[exotic lodge]

whats fiches bro

[copper bough]

score

[exotic lodge]

chip requirement?

[copper bough]

how does this new feature make the game better

[robust mulch]

I don’t know, in Italian the score is named fiche or fiches, not score or chips

[robust mulch]

It would help, I think

Like I’m always stuck in a 40000 blind

[copper bough]

how would it make the game more fun

[robust mulch]

Well the intent is to help, not to make more fun the game

[exotic lodge]

we have never seen a joker or voucher that reduces/increases blind requirements, and its probably for good reason

it should be kept for when you increase the difficulty of the run

[robust mulch]

I didn't say that

I think about a JOKER that is similar to the thing I’ve said, that is not about reducing the blind requirements

[exotic lodge]

idk i didnt understand it so ya

[robust mulch]

It’s alright

Should I delete the suggestion?

[copper bough]

the idea is that chip overflow carries over

[robust mulch]

Yeah, exactly

[exotic lodge]

its your idea, you can do whatever you want

[exotic lodge]

oh i see

[robust mulch]

I could make an example with this thing I did now

[short path]

So if I scored enough could I beat the current and the next blind in one go

[robust mulch]

The next blind is 1200 chips. The score to do now was 800. I did 2325. Let’s do 2325 - 800 = 1525.
I could beat the other blind

[robust mulch]

Yeah

[short path]

Ohh

[copper bough]

i mean you'd still be able to

[robust mulch]

Or maybe it could help

[short path]

Too op

[robust mulch]

Then 1525 - 1200 = 325.
The next blind is 1600.
I’ll start with 325

[short path]

Also if the next blind is also beat what about the shop does it skip the shop

[robust mulch]

I think

[copper bough]

skipping the shop would be pretty terrible

[short path]

It's an ok idea maybe as a deck?

[robust mulch]

What you mean?

[short path]

It could work as a deck's feature

[robust mulch]

Explain yourself better, it’s my problem that I do not immediately grasp the meaning of the phrase

[short path]

Your idea could be a deck

Like how red deck has extra discard

[robust mulch]

Oooh

Now I understand

Yeah maybe!

[short path]

Like you'd have to score just enough to beat the blind too much would skip the shop

[robust mulch]

Yeah

[lost stratus]

what does this mean...???

[dark sequoia]

What is a fiche

[torpid sable]

Winmore ig

[dark sequoia]

What’s a fiche though

[copper bough]

total chips

[solid dagger]

It’s the word for chips in another language

[dark sequoia]

Oh

[dense dragon]

Fine as a voucher though

[hexed stream]

I think the reason that Jokers and Vouchers don't decrease blind requirements is that it's significantly more fun to get a bigger score than to reduce the score you need, even if those two things are functionally similar

[exotic lodge]

Ive always saw balatro as very simple. All jokers, consumables, cards, and vouchers contribute to scoring, or utillity. This is why we dont have X chips, and this is why jokers and vouchers dont give new mechanics. It should stay like that

[hexed stream]

I disagree with the part about Jokers and Vouchers not adding new mechanics (for example, Director's Cut adds a new button that lets you reroll boss blinds)

Also, it's not one of the things you listed, but Plasma Deck introduces its balancing gimmick

However, I do agree that new mechanics should be mostly kept to a minimum if possible in the base game (although mods adding mechanics is cool)
