One thing I appreciate is how immediately brutal endless mode gets. I don’t like it when I have to play a rougelike forever if I want to see how good my build was. You have to be really breaking things to get past like ante 11. It ramps it up quick.

Yeah, this is a big part of the design ethos. The regular antes scale up very quickly compared to a other run-based roguelikes, the endless antes scale up even faster, and the difficulty levels also scale up very fast. It's great.

Okay, so Anaglyph can be good, I've just been having bad Tag luck. I also grabbed the last voucher and unlocked the last Joker this run, so all I need to do is find those three missing jokers in the shop at some point and win on Orange Stakes to unlock the deck and that's the Collection 100%'d.

And then begins all the other grinds.

Royal flush is literally no different from any other straight flush mechanically, the dev basically had to be bullied into even acknowledging it with the label instead of just saying “straight flush”. But straight flushes in general are underpowered, I’d agree with that.

Very sensible. It starts with royal flushes, then you get royal straights and who knows where you end up?

did one of the recent updates remove the ability for negative joker tags to show up in Ante 1? I used to be able to get the negative joker tag right off the start if I started a new run enough times, but now it will not get pulled at all until later antes

I'm not sure when it was changed but negative tags do not show up in ante 1, yes.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but when you have the Red Card joker and you open a pack that lets you pick 2 options, you can pick 1 and then press skip on the 2nd and it'll still give Red Card a mult up for skipping.

Similarly, for cards that activate based on pairs or whatever...that doesn't need to be the ultimate suit. Like if you get a flush with a pair in the flush, that will proc the card that requires a hand have a pair.

The jokers that change their required suits/values every round should have a little spot on their graphic telling you what it is without having to hover over it. On the Switch touchscreen you have to long press on it and wiggle your finger out of the way to see what it is.

So jokers that can delete themselves (either on random chance like Gros Michel or over time like Popcorn), are designed to be sold (Diet Cola, Invisible Joker), are render themselves useless after a specific point (Mr. Bones) cannot be eternal. There are two major exceptions: Egg and, amusingly enough, Luchador.

Won my gold chip with the blue deck and feeling pretty good, but also I've never once managed to score into scientific notation. Not even near it, in fact.

My playstyle starts to aggressively value raising the minimum score of every hand, while of course still (just barely) beating the ante. All in all this means my runs never seem to "pop off."

Psycho runs are way easier to make happen on easiest difficulty. Throwback and hologram are amazing cards for beating gold chip but theyre not gonna carry you to scientific notation, you'll need an on-play-trigger exodia for that.

First challenge (The Omelette) complete! Turns out you don't need conventional moneymaking when you've got half a deck full of Gold Cards. The rest of the deck/Joker setup was pretty unoptimized, though it was fun to get to play 5 card "pairs" all the time.

Got this doing the omlette challenge just to see how many antes I could get with 4 eggs and a pirate. (I think it's called pirate.)
Decided to see how long it would actually take me without adding thing else.
Got me to ante 6 before it no longer kept up.

the game knows when you're putting together too good of a gold chip run and actively tries to gently caress you, of this I am certain. I had a near perfect setup with the madness joker and then the game gives me the "-$1 for every card played" boss and put me $15 in debt, preventing me from buying any additional jokers to hoover up. I'm actually turning into the joker

Does madness joker actually need other jokers to hoover up? It increases multiplier even if all your other jokers are indestructible, at least.

you keep whatever your current built multiplier is but if it has no jokers to destroy you don't get the +0.5X. it worked for the next two rounds but I didn't have enough juice to keep the chips piling in
