Strike! (Uncommon)

[grand girder]

Scored 10 cards give [X2.5 Mult] if hand contains a straight

basic scoring joker for straights, since there aren't many of them. allows for 2 10's to give the x2.5 mult if you have four fingers

use of the number 10 is based on how there are 10 pins in bowling. also vaguely similar to how you roll a ball down the bowling lane, and at the end get a strike—same deal when playing high straights or royal flushes, you score all cards and at the end get the mult "strike" when the 10 is scored

might post art for a card concept

[main bay]

you actually don't need Splash to get doubled ranks with four finger straights

[grand girder]

oh, the entire hand is scored with four fingers even when they don't contribute to the straight?

neat

[main bay]

The game can't decide which one is contributing to the straight so it does both

[grand girder]

oh, that's neat

[lunar stirrup]

due to how the card are (naturally) ordered the 10 would be at the front of the straight

random nitpick just saying

[lunar stirrup]

(unless it was ace high)

but nobody plays ace high straights

[viscid radish]

honestly

i like this even if it's a worse order a lot of the time

[lunar stirrup]

well its uncommon so

[viscid radish]

yea

[grand girder]

i wanted something for straights that had the capability for synergy but a lot of the time straights struggle at it

that was this compromise

[viscid radish]

10s are a rank you often want in straights

so

[grand girder]

this was what i was referencing when i said high straight

does high straight only mean 10-6?

[lunar stirrup]

i dont know

i didnt read the high part

[worldly nacelle]

i think thats what makes it good

[echo axle]

Usually when you say high in reference to straights it’s like “7 high” is a 7-3 straight. I think just saying “high straight” means that it’s generally on the upper half of cards, but it may be a lil confusing

[grand girder]

yeah you're kinda right, , i just couldn't think of any other way to say it in a short way

[main bay]

but you can reorder the cards in any poker hand anyway you like?

[lunar stirrup]

note the word naturally

[main bay]

no I see, I just don't see why it's an issue

photograph does the same thing

[lunar stirrup]

yeah

i know

its not an issue practically

just thematically

[grand girder]

concept art

damn why is that so small

hold on
