Campfire is a rare Joker that provides a flat extra multiplier per sold card which can theoretically be scaled infinitely. However, it resets itself to x1 multiplier after defeating a Boss Blind.

Selling any Joker, Tarot card, or Planet card will add X0.25 Mult to Campfire's bonus. They must be deliberately sold- destroying them through use of other cards does not count.

Note that unlike most non-retroactive positively scaling jokers, Campfire can have the Perishable sticker, likely due to the fact that it will reset at least once before it perishes.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

Zodiac Deck Zodiac Deck starts you with the Tarot Merchant and Planet Merchant Vouchers, which make consumable cards appear more often, and the Overstock Voucher, which makes more cards appear in the shop. This combines to provide a vast amount of cards you can sell every shop. Yellow Deck Yellow Deck lets you build money much faster, which is needed to scale Campfire Black Deck Black Deck's extra Joker slot lets you have five Jokers while still having room to buy and sell with the final slot.

Poker Hands[]

Since Campfire provides a strong xMult bonus, any Poker Hand with a high base Mult like Flush, Straight, Full House, will benefit greatly.

Jokers[]

The cornerstone of Campfire's functioning is economy. It is best paired with at least one money-generating Joker, the more powerful the better. It doesn't necessarily need this, though, if it is added late-game when you already have a large amount of money.

Jokers that generate other cards, like Cartomancer Cartomancer and Riff-Raff Riff-Raff, can then have those cards be sold for extra scaling.

A strong source of +Mult is near required to make Campfire work. The single best Joker for this is Flash Card Flash Card, as you will want to be rerolling anyway to find more cards to sell, but other strong options include Shoot the Moon Shoot the Moon and Onyx Agate Onyx Agate. Hand-played-based scalers like Ride the Bus Ride the Bus and Spare Trousers Spare Trousers are less useful, as playing the hands to scale them makes you earn less money at the end of the round, but they are still very strong, and the money is minimal.

Astronomer Astronomer allows you to buy planet cards for free and sell them for a profit, which allows for more buying and selling of other cards.

Chaos the Clown Chaos the Clown gives you a free reroll in every shop, allowing you to buy more consumables.

Notably, due to Credit Card Credit Card's low cost, it can be bought and then immediately sold to proc campfire with no economic downside.

Blueprint Blueprint and Brainstorm Brainstorm can copy a roaring campfire with a large multiplier built up.

Other X Mult Jokers, like Hologram Hologram, The Trio The Trio, and Hit the Road Hit the Road, pair very well with Campfire, being able to multiply off its large modifier.
