Love when you have a flush deck absolutely singing and then ante 7 drops a debuff-your-suit boss blind with no way to remove it :smithicide:

I swear when you take a skip for a shiny joker there is a 50/50 chance that it will be Popcorn/Icecream/Gros Michel.

I got a first shop polychrome joker last night, and it was ice cream

Same except when I accidentally only select four cards when playing a straight or flush build

Edit: oh and does wheel of fortune actually work? I've used it like 8 times and it's always a nope. With ¼ odds I should have gotten something by now.

I remember Luck Be a Landlord, a roguelike that uses a slot machine as its core mechanic, had similar issues. Apparently ratings boards can't tell the difference between mechanics from gambling games and gambling mechanics.

I still won so I shouldn't complain but man nothing like dying sooner than you should with a flush five deck because you still had 12 copies of your main card in the 16 cards remaining.

Does the order of the jokers on top matter at all?

Yes, they go off left to right. For jokers that say something like "all Spades give +4 Mult" you don't have to worry about it, but any joker that directly gives you 2x Mult or whatever you should put at the end. Doubling Mult is more effective when you have more Mult to double, obviously.

Incidentally the same applies to playing cards. Make sure your glass cards are on the right!

How do multiple retriggers work? If I have a red seal on a card getting a retrigger from a joker, does that play three times or four?

Retriggers stack additively.

Thanks. Had a very close run with the plasma deck where I wasn't sure which cards to make bonus where retriggers were a major factor of the last hand. Won, but good to know for next time.

I just saw there's an "Unlock All" button in the Profile menu, is that gonna unlock everything in the Collection? Is there any downside to clicking it at all? I wanted to unlock everything first before doing Gold attempts but I'd rather not fish for four 7 of Clubs and stuff if I don't have to

It disables achievements. Whether this matters or not is up to you.

I had a run last night with an early negative egg and midgame swashbuckler that later offered me a holo knife. I ended up declining it but that was not an easy choice.

Might be square joker? It’s trash when you get it, but if you spend the entire game crippling your economy to level it up with two pairs, it will remain trash because four chips per hand is nothing. Might also be red card, which is a $5 joker that does absolutely nothing unless you’re willing to throw a vast amount of money down the toilet. Golden ticket, lucky cat and the assorted stone jokers all seem super-niche as well.

Like, at least with matador there are rare situations where you can see at the moment it’s in the store that holding onto it until the boss is going to be worth $20 or so, and in those situations I would buy it if I had a slot free. I’m trying to think of a situation where I’d ever buy square card or red card and outside of immediately destroying them with campfire or ceremonial dagger I can’t.

...why would you exclusively play two pair with square joker? That's a fantastic card in high card builds.

I'm filled with rage at how consistently people can get duplicates/exactly what they want in a deck. I know how to, but it never appears with anywhere near the frequency I see.

It's worth remembering you are seeing people posting the runs that really took off, but all the runs on the cutting room floor get left out. I've had a single run break into scientific notation, but I've had dozens of runs where I've held R to reset after ten minutes.

Hanged Man is a card I really did not give enough attention early on. If you want to dupe the good stuff you have to remove the not good stuff as well.

You can even effectively use them during a round as an additional draw 2 effect--delete the two cards you don't want, play/discard five cards, and you'll draw seven. It's one of the few tarot cards I'll almost always pick up when it's on sale as a singleton.

They nerfed bloodstone???

I haven't played the beta branch but I believe they upped the proc chance from 1/3 to 2/3. So compared to the main branch this means it'll be more consistent but won't have the same blowout potential.
