Any achievement leaks yet? I want hundreds of challenges

I don't think there are literal hundreds, but I recall from earlier versions there being something like 100-200 ingame achievements as part of the metaprogression if you choose to play with that on. The Steam page does describe 8 different difficulties or variants alongside challenge/daily/seeded runs though.

EDIT: Looked at a video with a release copy of the game and I may have been lowballing it. Looks more like 340 proper Collections, with a whole bunch of other stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqtsUX38HmE

I keep forgetting this game is coming to consoles as well. Does anyone know if there will be some Joy-Con HD rumble on Switch or DualSense haptics on PS5?

The audio in this game is so satisfying and that would take it to another level. The sound effects remind me of the same good feeling I get from the first part of Inscryption. I’m half expecting the game facade to tear away.

This game's best selling point is how great all the joker card arts are. Making ridiculous decks that can get you millions of points is great sure but I just love seeing how far you can stretch the definition of "a card with a clown on it".

I was up way too late last night and went to bed thinking "by the time I get up, game will be out" and instead I just also woke up way too loving early.

I gotta say, Localthunk's decision to not do early access was probably a good one because I can't think of the last time I anticipated a game's release this much. Maybe Metroid Dread?

If you encounter the blind "The Arm" it reduces the level of that poker hand played for the rest of the run, not just that turn.
