The first joker in the shop is $2 cheaper and synergises with a random joker you have (e.g. if you have a x in y joker, it could give Oops all 6s)
Probably Uncommon rarity since it doesn't directly help with scoring or econ

overpowered af and hard to implement

chilly aurora Nov 17, 2025, 2:17 PM

#

literally impossible to implement

tulip narwhal Nov 17, 2025, 3:23 PM

#

the game already doesnt do joker categories so this would not work at all to implement

#

beyond rarities there isnt a single joker which doesnt just have a show up in shop and packs condition

#

also im gonna say something thats gonna sound weird but

#

synergies arent usually too good

#

if i had a photo i wouldnt want constant smiley face and scary face in the shop

#

the synergies are usually mild and somewhat disposable and using not directly synergizing jokers is also more interesting

#

synergy should be emergent

#

Synergies can depend on a lot of conditions.

Does Hack synergize with Scary Face? If you have pareidolia, it does, otherwise it doesn't.
Does Reserved Parking synergize with Merry Andy? It might if you're on the painted deck or extra hand size vouchers.
Does Splash synergize with Four Fingers? Yes, unless you have Square Joker, except if you don't care about growing it anymore.

my issue with this is this also promotes the "game is unfair" into screenshot of a photochad run with every early game face card joker and 100 dollars on plant

#

going full hog on synergies is genuinely a bad idea because you need a backup plan in case you cant rely on every component of a synergy if that makes sense

#

Synergies in general are overrated.

tulip narwhal Nov 17, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

droll and crafty joker synergise since they both work with flushes. both get dumped ante 2 for a golden joker

#

synergise is such a general term and is usually something thats different per run so this joker would promote bad habits id feel while also being weak

#

2 dollars of value on a changing pool of jokers not clear to the player is not a good effect in my eyes

#

Part of the skill expression in this game is being able to make do with what's provided. If you just get the "easy combos" for free by having a single game piece, then that undermines figuring things out for yourself.

#

tulip narwhal 2 dollars of value on a changing pool of jokers not clear to the player is not a...

design wise when almost every joker is clear in its effect minus some wording changes you could do for some this would be a nightmare

#

how do you infer hanging chad synergies for example? just every on score effect? or only those that are specifically much better with chad

stuck shale Nov 17, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

(Does Photograph synergize with Chad? Yes, right? Unless you're on the Abandoned Deck. Unless Unless you have Pareidolia. This is a mess)

#

this is basically asking for a whole system to be added for one joker which promotes uninteresting gameplay

#

this just feels modded

#

In a mod I could see it working. Since it is themed off of clippy, I think the whole issue of actually getting good synergies is irrelevant as getting bad ones adds to the theming.

pick a random word from the description and pick another joker whose description contains that word
if none exist, pick something else
