    I don’t understand this game. It just looks like shitty video poker with joker cards involved for some reason. Why are there so many joker cards?

      So the core is very much video poker, in that you make poker hands and score points. The twist is that you can dramatically modify your deck as the run goes on. It’s kind of hard to describe, but things like my king is now worth 50 points, multiplies my score by 5, and I’ve cloned it enough to make fictional hands like flush house, or five of a kind.

      Jokers have unique effects that can modify the deck, give additional score, change the rules of the game, that kind of thing.

      It’s quite fun and challenging, I highly recommend it.

      The jokers are what makes the game fun. You should try it. It’s a kind of video poker though.

      Poker is just the underlying mechanism. It could be any RNG that makes patterns that match against other patterns.

      Yeah that’s what I thought too. Until you try it. It’s like meth after that.
