I like the art direction, but it doesn't seem to have consistent pixels

#

In terms of the actual mechanic, LocalThunk has said he's not adding multiranks

#

Also, maybe this is just me, but the description feels AI-generated

no multiranks

alrighty :D thanks for the heads up... i guess i am just a bit too used to ai haha...

#

and with "multiranks" is this also not possible:

a joker that makes all cards on your hand the same rank (guaranteed five of a kind) but the rank is random and the chip value is halved

#

Are you saying it converts all played cards to a random rank when you play a hand?

#

Or are you saying that all cards count as a random rank?

sacred prairie
#

no i thought of "they are just count as the same", but you dont know which rank until you play them

wheat moat
#

The former would be OK, the latter would be multiranks

sacred prairie
#

ahh so i select random cards but they are converted into the same rank (random), is ok?

wheat moat
#

Yeah that'd be fine I think

#

I don't know if it would be a good suggestion but it wouldn't break the multirank rule

sacred prairie
#

it could be a good joker, if you go for fives only, but with the randomness to keep it interesting

#

i didnt know about the multirole rule, these two where in my mind for a time now...

#

did he say why no multiroles?

wheat moat
#

It's mainly because most ways of implementing multiranks are confusing and unintuitive

sacred prairie
#

yeah that makes sense, they likely dont combine very well with other jokers too

wheat moat
#

They also usually complicate calculations for hands like Straights and Full Houses quite a bit

#

I wonder if something like this could work for this theming (I'd need feedback from other people to know if it's balanced):

Played non-face cards give X1.5 Mult when scored if played hand contains at least 1 scoring face card

#

I think the idea would be cool and would incentivize Straights and Flushes, but it's also a bit wordy so idk

sacred prairie
#

uhh that would be a dope idea

#

so if i do J-10-9-8-7, 10-7 would do 1.5 Mult?

wheat moat
#

Yeah

#

Maybe something with having the face cards held in hand would be cool, but that might just become Baron slop

sacred prairie
#

something like that
