i think the only minor gripe i have is with the tags. if i get one, and it says "shop has holographic joker", the next shop that opens up should have a holographic joker. it doesn't say "chance of holographic joker", it says "HAS holographic joker". should not be getting to the shop and seeing two planet cards. one slot should be the holo joker if that's what the tag says

I just looked and Wheel of Fortune doesn't even make my top played tarot cards list lol. Apparently my memory is skewed as I haven't even played it 7+ times.

It's a 1 in 5 chance on the Switch version which is even worse. I'll keep buying that garbage tho

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Am I right on thinking that to begin with I should just be buying as many new cards as possible to then unlock more features that make it easier to progress?

Even if not seeing a tagged edition joker can be annoying, at least the tag is not consumed until what it promises actually shows up.

Nah, the locked cards aren't strictly better or anything, in fact they're usually aimed at making very niche builds viable and thus make your overall pool of jokers worse.

No I have a strong recollection of it being a 1 in 4 on PC. The Switch version is 1.0.0c and PC is 1.0.0j. I knew there'd be a delay in updates as console versions have to go through more approval to go live.

My worst foe is the Psychic. Not because he's hard, but because I am too careless to remember I need to play 5 and it cancels the whole hand.

Meanwhile, I don't even understand what decks the psychic is supposed to be difficult for and I play 5 cards at a time for the majority of hands.

if you have a lot of stuff that triggers if held at the end of the round you often find yourself wanting to play less than five cards.

The only thing that comes to mind is the joker that gives mult if you play 3 or less cards

edit: I guess if you have a ton of steel cards

it's true but in a game like this you have to be specific with the wording of these things. it should say "next available joker in shop is holographic/rare/polychrome/etc" instead

Do note that if you play less than five cards against the psychic, your hand is completely and totally disregarded, even if it was one card just to trigger DNA.

Does the "Oops all sixes" Joker card work with the Wheel of fortune card? Because that would be a good synergy.

Oh look, the consequences of my prior actions are finally catching up to me.
What would be nice is a test mode which would allow to you play around with different combos of cards, jokers, etc. so you can see how the cards interact.

It works with anything that has an X in X result, this includes penalties like the 1 in 7 face down blind.

That this game doesn't have a Johnny 5 Aces Joker is a travesty.

important tip: there's a joker unlock tied to starting, suspending, and then continuing a run later, if (like me) you're the sort of person who plays runs all in one sitting

Won't you get that the first time you log out? As far as I can tell the game won't let you go to main menu from the game over screen, and you actually have to start a new game.

skipped a blind not realizing I was on the final ante and missed clearing orange stake by 5k. brutal L to take. if I had played that blind I probably could have juiced up my deck just enough to clear it

I can't manage to climb the stakes with anything but the checkerboard deck, I gotta learn how else I can get consistency going. It's definitely the easiest deck in the game and it's not just me, yeah?

it's easy in the first couple rounds by virtue of chooching flushes but it relies heavily on your ability to strategically use jokers and arcana cards to build a deck that can stand the test of time. it's the inverse of other decks in that you have to find a way to do one thing PERFECTLY, as opposed to giving yourself several options to progress. when all you have is flushes, suddenly most of the planet cards and jokers in the game are a lot less useful to you

I haven't played with it extensively (I might switch to it if I can't muscle past orange chip otherwise) but I don't really see how this is the case. It doesn't actually take away any of your other tools, and having such an incredibly brainless early game gives you more time and resources to build towards anything else. If you want to go for an aces deck checkerboard is still going to have an easier time than most.

Seriously, do drugs
I've poured more hours into this over the past two days than is reasonable and won at least one run with all of the decks you unlock at normal difficulty. I still think the game would benefit from representing the different decks with marketable little guys you can root for, and the blinds with bad guys I can get mad at for tanking my run, but that might just be me.
The visual style and direction is really nice, though I did turn off the crt effect and screen shake almost immediately, and I like how it's just all about cards. But maybe just a small neat illustration of a themed king/queen/joker to represent the boss? The symbols don't really do it for me.
