It’s a rogue-like. When you end your run (either by winning or losing), nothing carries over into your next run.

as hotbeef says, they only get levelled up in that run
the lasting progress comes through unlocking new Jokers, Vouchers and Decks
(also yes, you can get some absurd numbers. that blind in the screenshot isn’t close to the highest scores I’ve seen people get)
How in the hell can you level it up to 60? I can’t even get it to go up 1 level, jesus.
Ah man, I don’t understand
OK I have a question based on this - what is a voucher, and how does unlocking jokers work as they don’t reappear
you don’t have to understand everything all at once, right away. I think you’re getting swamped, really.
this happens to me too, somewhat - like, I’ll read up on how to do better at a game, and cramming it all into my head just shuts me down
it comes to you gradually, okay?

okay, so if you look on the title screen, you’ll see ‘COLLECTION’
if you click on Jokers or Vouchers, you’ll see a bunch of them are greyed out/locked
by doing certain things in runs - some much simpler/easier than others - they get unlocked
150 jokers, 32 vouchers, 15 decks
also, re: planets, did you note what I said on that before?
you get them in Celestial packs, or on their own in the Shop
^ here is an Earth/Full House card, plus you see a Jumbo Celestial pack there also
you’d buy that card and use it, or buy the pack and get a choice of two out of five to use
Yeah I did, but I don’t think I understood it. I think I get it now, but the different cars and vouchers are, as you say, overwhelming me a lot.
I had my most successful run yet. But i still don’t think the other cards really do anything (yet)
That seemed like a good set of Jokers when playing just pairs over and over again
oh yeah, I like the half joker for that, got plenty of mileage out of it before. also relied on the aces joker a lot
that king joker is trickier to use than the one for queens, given that you have to leave the kings in your hand, but it’s much more powerful
anyway, I’m throwing a lot of info at you! you’re getting there, tho
re: vouchers, there’s one that makes your most played hand’s planet appear in every celestial pack
as in, if you’ve been playing straights, you’ll be sure to get more Saturn cards

OK ok ok… I think I get it now. Genuinely. Thanks all.
I now understand the difference between the different packs of cards. Just came within 1k points of beating Ante 6. So, obviously, I wasn’t playing the game correctly before that.
I am still getting 6k a hand, but how the fuck it accelerates toward millions I have no idea

Yeah so how do you get that? The biggest I’m seeing is 1.5x
different jokers, you’ll unlock them as you go. that hologram one you had for instance, you can keep scaling up if you keep adding cards to your deck. there’s a joker you can get that copies the effect of the joker next to it so if you have both those you can have xwhatever twice
Had my first win, picked up the throwback joker (x0.25 per skipped blind) very early which was fun.
On my next run I thought I was being clever as had a load of jokers working around face cards, one being all cards are considered face, until I got to the ante 6 boss and the blind was all face cards are drawn down. At first I was like what are the chances! Took a couple of discards before I realised what was going on.

So, is this a bug?
Was pretty sure it is supposed to alternate each hand but instead it just kept drawing face down cards.

Nope, there’s one boss that deals cards down every time you play a hand. You can get discard cards and the replacements pop up. But if you play a hand then they’ll be all face down.
(Also. The boss’s power tells you at the top left what is happening)

Had a great two pair run going, then on level 6 boss I accidentally pressed play rather than discard on four random cards and fucked it all up.

Hmmm game just did that to me as well. Cheap ass bullshit that.
Not a fan of the game tailoring the boss to the start, that’s cheap bollocks for cunts.
It is annoying. I guess you can see the boss blind ahead of time (but I always forget to check) and plan for it, or hope one of the tags gives you the option to re-roll the boss blind. But yeah, if you’ve built your deck around something and you’re given limited options to readjust, you’re fucked.
If I have a joker that rewards say three of a kind and I play a full house (which contains a three of kind), is the joker triggered?
If it says Contains three of a kind, then yes it would be triggered.
But if you have the one that says it’ll give you money for playing three of a kind, then it won’t. I think it has to explicitly say Contains for it to allow other hands.
