Thanks so much for playing and enjoying!

Could you expand on your idea for the Card Cleaner? Does it work on only one card? When does it trigger, when you play a hand or how did you envision it? and what do you mean by type? You get to pick the rank and suit? Sounds like a fun idea.

The Rock Paper Scissors one sounds fun, too, but I worry it would feel gimmicky after a bit. Especially since you're playing against an AI (which would presumably choose a random play each time) effectively there's no decision being made. I could make it choose for you, but that kind of just means a bauble that gives you a random amount of multiplier. Which I'm not entirely against, I suppose.

Thanks for the kind words! You're the first person I've ever seen play the exact same hand for 100% of played hands. Nice!

So Card Cleaner is a playable card that wipes ALL played cards, and allows the player to choose the new cards suit and value. Bought at the shop for 4 chips. (maybe 3 if u want)

also that random RPS is a very good idea. And what if there was a dice-type item that rolled a random number 1-6?

Rolling a 1: Does nothing!!!

Rolling a 2: Gives a random scored card +2 multiplier for the ante.

Rolling a 3: Gives a random scored card +3 multiplier for the ante.

Rolling a 4: Gives a random scored card +4 multiplier for the ante.

Rolling a 5: Gives a random scored card +5 multiplier for the ante.

Rolling a 6: Gain 1 tokens and gives a random scored card +6 multiplier for the ante. (also plays a fun sound effect!!!)

obviously this is able to be changed to ur preference but idk

have a good day Mr. silver doubloons sir!!

The card cleaner is interesting, I think 90+% of the time people would choose one specific rank and one specific suit for every card that was changed. Might be simpler to implement that way, too. Sounds very powerful at 3 - 4 chips, even if it was rare. I could see if it was more expensive and the specific rank and suit was random, that could work. I will consider all of this.

The die idea is very similar to an idea I had, and I really like it! I think it could be the first bauble that you can upgrade, going from d6 to d8 to d10 to d12 to d20, increasing the maximum bonuses along the way. Definitely a great idea!

Thanks for the ideas captain schizziobeat!

The D6 has been added, along with upgrades all the way up to D20!

I tested and played around with the card cleaner idea, and designed it into what *I think* works OK.

It's rare, so will be infrequently seen in the shop, and costs 3 chips. It's called Magic Marker, and before scoring, it sets all played cards to a random rank. Not too crazy, can help with lategame transitioning or early game powering if you're lucky enough to see it.

Thank you for using my idea! This is probably my proudest moment, and I can't wait to see what comes next!
