tl;dr: full houses suck because they arent specialized, make jokers that allow full house to help with setting up for your main hand

Generally speaking, I think Full House (FH) is the hand that gets the shortest end of the stick in most runs. From what I've observed, the problem with the hand is that with all the Joker synergies it has going for it- you're better off just leaning into either any #oaK for scoring or Two Pairs for consistency.

However, I also don't like the idea of FH-exclusive scoring Jokers to enable it, since the plethora of Pair/Three of a Kind/Two Pair Jokers already fills that role.

To solve this problem, my proposed idea to help give FH a place in more runs is to add utility Jokers that activate from playing a FH. I think as is, FH is the best hand you can pivot from into your main scoring hands, so emphasis on this aspect could very well be the best way to help it. Here are some half-baked ideas I've thought of:

Architect (Rare, 8$):
Create 2 Tarot Cards when a Full House is played.

The Builder (Uncommon, 6$):
When a Full House is played, add a card with the same rank as the more abundant rank in your played hand. (I don't know how else to phrase it or how vanilla this is, but basically if you play 9-9-8-8-8 then an 8 is added to the deck)

Cement Mixer (Uncommon, 5$):
When a Full House is played, turn all played cards into Stone.

House Market (Common, 5$):
When a Full House is played, gain money equal to the highest rank played in your hand.

There are definitely more ideas out there to fix the issue, but I would really love to see Full Houses be made more viable in the future.

yea house market was a product of running out of ideas but wanting to add more

#

could just nerf it to half the highest rank

Cement mixer is hilarious

Me playing poker at the construction site (I just dropped my whole deck into the wet cement)

#

I like the idea of different hands having jokers that give them a special role in the game, with full house being the utility hand in a sense

I think Housing Market would be fine if it was Uncommon and it was the lowest rank played instead

The Builder (Uncommon, 6$):

If this joker is supposed to enable full house / flush house, then this joker should give the less common rank, not the more common one. Otherwise, this joker would help you lean into a 4/5oaK build instead.

House Market (Common, 5$):

How many dollars is $King?

If this is just the chip value, would this interact with hiker?

Actually, a suggestion I made a little bit ago can be retooled to work with full houses specifically.

Up the Sleeve - Uncommon $6

After drawing your first hand in a round, add to hand a <rank> and <rank> that are destroyed when discarded, after being played, or on round end.

Where the ranks are different and determined randomly at the end of each round from your current deck (if only one rank remains in your deck, then the second rank is random).
