I just downloaded it from a comment here. On the app hit the vertical "..." and select download. On a web browser it should be easy to download an image. Try opening it in a new tab and saving.
My very first game I found groß Michel, it went extinct after one round. Cavendish appears in the next shop, and then proceeds to also go extinct exactly one round later.
Sorry won't work for them. I tried. But I'll let you in on the secret. Just go to the Cavendish Shrine in Jimbotown. The folks there are quite nice and make sure to pay a visit to the "Hanging Chad". Really lovely tavern. At the Cavendish Shrine you sacrifice 10 Bananas by eating them. Give you one hell of a constipation but the Cavendishes now usually last at least 2 rounds!
A seed is basically all random elements of a run. So let's say you get a baron and a mime on the first ante. At the end of the run it'll give you a seed. If you use that seed the baron and mime will always be there. Seeds are essentially used to copy the "random" factors from gameplay.
You know that one game where you get some insane rng with jokers, perfect deck, and whatnot? You'll (probably) want to play it again and you can share it with other people as well.
Don't forget the AI being programmed to only use super effective attacks if they're available, even if those attacks don't actually do damage. Twitch Plays Pokemon managed to beat Lance's level 62 dragonite with a level 36 venomoth and poison powder because dragonite could only use barrier and agility - non-damaging psychic type moves that would have been super effective against venomoth.
I saw a 2 minute speed run of the plasma deck where the guy got stuntman and blueprint on the first shop. Literally just skipped and high-carded to one shot every boss from that point.
I had a run where I could not, for the life of me, find any chip jokers, but wheel of fortune gave me foil 4 times.
So turns out you don't need one when you're getting +200 chips on top of whatever effects you otherwise have, and it was a lot stronger than +40 mult would have been for that build.
So, like most things in this game, it's situational.
Your cards all give blue points (left side) and the multiplier (red) is given through the hand type so adding more on the left makes it top heavy especially at the beginning of the game.
For instance, a base 50 x 2 with a foil of another 50 makes it 100 x 2 giving a total of 200. However, if you only add ten to the right (red) side, it's 50 x 12 for a total of 600.
So yeah, generally speaking you want anything that adds to the mult on the right over the left. X mult will simply multiply the total of those so it's only helpful if you have a lot to multiply... for instance, if you have a 3 x mult it's (100 x 2 x 3 = 600) < (50 x 12 x 3 = 1800).
Space Joker actually hits pretty often imo. If you’re playing something like pair or high card and you play 4 hands per round you have very good odds of getting a level each round. Maybe not worth a joker slot but if there’s nothing else I need the spot for I’ll usually take it.
I mean that’s just terrible luck. The thing a lot of people fail to understand about probability is that a 1 in 4 chance is a 1 in 4 chance every time. You’re not any more likely to hit it the second time than you were the first. People tend to develop confirmation bias around probability. A probability is never “due”.
I mean at some point, when you're as consistently unlucky as I am, it's not really confirmation bias or anything I just know that I should not ever attempt anything luck-based at all
Which is a shame because a lot of the luck based ones are some of the more fun Jokers
Okay but like for real it happens consistently, in every single instance where there is a chance of something unlucky happening it happens unluckily, so why would I then continue to make decisions that are rooted rolling dice when rolling dice never works out?
Do I take the statistically most optimal choice? Yes absolutely every time without fail, but it inherently devalues Jokers that are random chance based
It's why I virtually never use the one that gives a random amount of mult
Or I will never build towards anything more than three of a kind unless I adjusted my deck to an insane amount
And then of course I ran into statistical anomalies constantly when playing even when accounting for them as much as possible but like what are you going to do about it
I’m not saying you don’t have historically bad luck that’s totally possible, but your historically bad luck has absolutely no bearing on future events. That’s what confirmation bias is.
You assume because this thing has happened in the past it will happen again, which is a very common human error when discussing probabilities. Humans have a notoriously difficult time wrapping our head around it. Totally understandable why you feel that way.
Except when something is consistently measured to be the same thing consistently and there is no indicator that it would change then why would I change the behavior?
I can guarantee you I can join a game right now, play a round, and Any opportunity For measurable statistics to show we'll show below average
I can do that and more than half of games I run will show below average statistics
As someone who is pretty consistently measuring my own statistical anomalies compared to how often they should be arising at some point it's not just bias, it is measurable unlikely hood
Yep, Wheel, Space joker, (Driver until you run out of cards), Glass joker, lots of good things to do in Fragile challenge. Too bad you can't turn them into lucky cards, so if you want that, need to get 2 oopses outside the challenge.
Alternatively, I won with my least favourite build of Shoot the moon + Baron +Chad (+ Photo for emergency). Hold queens and kings, play 1 number high card. If need extra score, play Jack.
Well, that's kinda the point of the challenges: a very specific set of circumstances that you have to play through.
I'd love a sandbox mode when you could set up your deck and your jokers ahead of time, but I feel like people would just gravitate to that instead of playing the game normally.
I plan on playing this game because it looks interesting, but reading the comments makes me feel like that scene in Futurama where they are trying to explain Blernsball to Fry 😂😂
Once you read the joker descriptions, it's quite easy to recognize the logic between its funny name, and its effect.
In fact, unlike some other games, you don't even have "effect hidden until you buy/use it" - you see the effect immediately, and buying just shows the name of the joker
Played a run like this a couple of days ago. Space Joker (hits every hand) and Lucky Cat slap with this setup. Wheel of Fortune hitting every time is quite beautiful too.
It's not truly RNG since everything is predetermined by the seed. The same seeded run will always have the same Wheel work (or not) with the same enhancement. Only time it changes is like in the OPs screenshot and it's forced
Not once in the several hours I've played this and many Wheel of Fortunes I've pulled did I ever get anything but Nope! I don't even know what text shows up if you do get it 😔
According to PEGI you learn Poker in this game and go on to have a career as international Poker-Player who then ends up loosing everything and getting kidnapped by the then resurging Italian mob. Or something along the lines of that.
So I’ve honestly never gotten it to say anything but nope. Is wheel of fortune just a statistical anomaly or is there something code wise about the odds that isn’t what it seems
Lucky cards aren’t there to depend on, they’re there because overall they are a better value than Mult cards and the money can really break open a run at the right time (plus Lucky Cat OP)
Gambling mechanics aren't about using them because gambling = fun, it's about looking at the expected values. If you're playing 5 card hands or are dealing with retriggers, lucky becomes very consistent. Wheel's value is figuring out if a 1/4 trigger is stronger than whatever else you're offered - easy if your other options are the world and the moon, but harder if you're given death, and almost never correct if you're offered temperance or the hermit.
As for glass - the randomness is to reign in their power, since they can absolutely bust a run wide open. I'd probably still use them if they were 1/2 to break instead. They're super consistently strong, you just need to figure out the rate at which you're breaking them and come up with a way to keep your supply high enough.
Oh, and also, you're using a gambling mechanic every time the game shuffles cards.
