No, and there's no dealer, you just select cards. And no, you're not playing against anyone. And there are cards that just change the rules spontaneously. Huh? Of course it's fun, it's one of the most fun games I've played in ages! "It's video poker but you can cheat"

The joker that goes between 0 and 23 multi is the best and truest joker in the game

The card that increases odds + lucky is fun. I just loaded the deck with lucky aces and tens, 2 out of fifteen odds for $20 with 6 lucky 10s/Aces isn't bad

Orange stake down, with much less headache than Purple took, weirdly. Campfire and Blackboard were the mvps there, with the latter being my make or break. If I didn't trigger Blackboard, I was dead.

Red Card showing up on Orange Stake kind of throws into a spotlight how absolutely laughable it is as a Joker. Climbing the Stakes has kind of made me think this game shouldn't have had the Stakes.

I got Smiley Face, then Scary Face, then Pareidolia that makes all cards face cards. Everything adds 30 chips and 4 to the multiplier. I get the game now.

War Wizard posted:Because of the constant creation of new jokers to feed it, I could keep it in the center and just rearrange jokers. 8 tries means there’s a 90% chance you’d get one so it’s not out of this world you haven’t, but many have noted it seems to be under delivering. I think what’s happening is that even when it hits, when it randomly picks a joker its looking at all of them and giving you a Nope if that one already has an upgrade.

I've had plenty of runs where I hit 2 or even 3 times in under 8 wheel pulls. It's me, I've been hoarding them. I'm sorry.

Got to ante 10/8 on flushes and flush houses with the green deck but just didn't have the staying power to keep going. Then the Jokers I unlocked were ones that would have given me the staying power to keep going  I'm going to miss buying out the store for every store lol e: How have I played seven hours already

I think I hit a new record for the thread. Seed is in the screenshot if you want to try it out with the Ghost Deck, White Stakes. Final Jokers were: Yorick Perkeo Triboulet Sock and Buskin Negative Driver's License Blueprint Polychrome Brainstorm Gameplay spoilers: I ended up getting a Cryptid and an Eris (flush five planet) in my inventory, and with Blueprint+Brainstorm+Perkeo I was able to make 3 copies between the two every time I left the shop. Eventually I got a Polychrome King which I copied a bunch, then I made one of them glass and copied that one a bunch, then I got to add a Red Seal to one of them and copied that a few times, but the Ante 14 boss was The Plant and ruined all my Kings before I was able to ever play a 5x Glass Red Seal Polychrome King Hand. For Joker ordering I think the optimal was the following: Triboulet, Sock and Buskin, Blueprint, Brainstorm, Driver's License, Yorick Flush Five was somewhere around level 15-20, so I around 550x50 or something like that. I'll say 500x50 for ease of math. Had I been able to play a full Flush Five of Polychrome, Glass, Red Sealed Kings, it would have been the following: Base: 500x50 For each King: +10 chips, x2 (Triboulet), x2 (Blueprint), x2 (Brainstorm), x1.5x (Polychrome), x2 (Glass) (Total +10 chips, x24 mult) repeat all of the above from Red Seal (Total +20 chips, x576 mult) repeat all of the above from Sock and Buskin (Total +40 chips, x 331776 mult) Do that all 5 times (Total +200 chips, x4019988717840603673710821376 mult) x3 mult from Driver's License, x1.5 mult from Polychrome Brainstorm, x5 mult from Yorick (Total +200 chips, x90449746151413582658493480960 mult) +500 chips and x50 mult from the base hand = 700 chips x 4522487307570679132924674048000 mult or Score: 3.16574e+33 chips I'm so sad I didn't get to play the best possible hand, but this was amazing fun either way.

I had an amazing run where I was slamming down high card hands for 60k for the first followed by 150 k for hand two. I won ante 8 and choked soon after, but it was a blast slamming down single card hands and demolishing every blind and boss. Beating the game following it's own rules feels like cheating and it's a blast.

I'm surprised at how accommodating Castle is when you are using the checkerboard deck. I was expecting it to still require discards of diamonds and clubs, but no, I was able to regularly discard like 12 to 15 cards per round and get it up to plus 500 chips I was also lucky enough to get the telescope voucher and the constellation Joker, which I was able to get up to x 3.5. Paired nicely with my foiled supernova

I got past ante 10! Oh god, this game goes hard after that. Jeez. I had vagabond generating tarot cards every hand and fortune teller getting +1 every time I used one, combined with constellations eventually getting bumped up to x4.

None of the challenges are really that bad until the last three, since all the ones before that point are mostly just weird gimmick runs, while the last three are genuinely just there to make the game harder with basically no real upsides, or literally none for 20.

  Started with Blueprint, literally "I have no other jokers but I'm buying this because it's too good to leave untouched". Then got Greedy Joker to have something. Then picked up Vagabond and Credit Card. Credit Card lets me go negative so Vagabond is always active (only active below $3) If I have a diamond flush hand (admittedly sometimes it was just a two pair or full house with diamonds early on) put Greedy Joker adjacent to blueprint to get +4 mult for each diamond card twice. If I don't have a diamond flush hand, move Vagabond adjacent to Blueprint to play the cards as a "high card" hand to effectively discard them and generate 2 tarot cards that let me enhance my deck. Especially Star and Death cards that convert it to diamonds and Hanged Mans to destroy non-diamonds. Sell any tarot cards I don't want to keep me ahead of my credit limit, especially as I keep buying card packs. Sadly no real multiplication/scaling so not Endless viable. Also must have had like 8 wheels Nope me.
