Becks Vanilla++ Jokers - looking for playtesting

[quick lagoon]

Hey y'all, I'm working on a set of vanilla-like jokers. My goal is to be be balanced with the base game, I'm okay with a tiny bump to late game power but generally am aiming for a vanilla experience.

So far I've got 23 jokers and am aiming for 30 in all.

Practically no art is done (got some great MS paint art), just code. I'm looking for some play testing / balance feedback if anyone is interested.

Github link is here https://github.com/beckcarver/becks-vanilla-plus-plus needs steammodded.

DM me or leave feedback here!

Gonna playtest it rn and give some feedback but question, do you want the "balance" to be around beating ante 8? on say gold stake

[quick lagoon]

I want the balance to generally remain unchanged relating to beating ante 8 on any stake, playing it myself I think I may have made beating ante 8 on gold stake slightly easier which I plan to address if others feel similarly

I see, I didn't get the chance to play a ton of games with the mod but i think something that could be improved across the board is the joker descriptions, ie. try to have the descriptions clearly explain the effect of the joker in a way that matches the description of other jokers in the base game

I think the general balance (from reading what the jokers do) seems to be pretty good and some of the effects are creative ones I haven't seen before
