Card Sharp is an uncommon Joker that provides X3 Mult when a hand is played again during the same round.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

  • Blue Deck Blue Deck: +1 hand per round, allowing more chances to play repeated hands.
  • Red Deck Red Deck: +1 discard, allowing more chance to assemble desired hands.

Poker Hands[]

Strong 5-card hands like Flush, Straight, Full House, etc... benefit the most from Card Sharp, provided they can be played at least twice per blind.

Players may opt to buff weaker hands like High Card, Pair, Two Pair, etc... with Planet Cards to make their base Mult stronger, allowing repeated play for each blind to score larger.

Jokers[]

  • Burglar Burglar: +3 hands, allowing more chances to play repeated hands.
  • Juggler Juggler: +1 hand size, allowing strong hands to be assembled more easily.
  • Drunkard Drunkard: +1 discard, allowing more chances to assemble desired hands.

Boss Blinds[]

  • The Needle: This boss hard counters Card Sharp as it only allows 1 hands to be played. Burglar is an effective safety against this, as discards are converted after the blind effect is applied.
  • The Eye: This boss also hard counters Card Sharp as it does not allow repeated hand types, making it impossible to play a second hand for the x3 Mult effect.

Trivia[]

  • Card sharps, sometimes known as card sharks, are people who use skill and/or deception to win poker games.
