Four Fingers is an effect-type joker that allows you to make Straights or Flushes using four cards instead of five. (Five cards can still be used for higher-scoring hands.)
Straights can score the same number multiple times using this card. For example, a hand with a 2, 3, 4, and two 5's will score all five cards as a straight.
Straight Flushes become more achievable with this joker, as a five-card hand that contains a 4-card Straight and a 4-card Flush will be considered to be a Straight Flush. For example, in a hand of 2ā ļø 3ā ļø 4ā¦ļø 5ā ļø 10ā ļø, the 2 3 4 5 make a straight of four cards and the 2 3 5 10 make a flush of four cards, together being counted a Straight Flush.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
- Black Deck: The +1 Joker Slot allows Four Finger to function as a utility Joker while still providing space for 5 other Jokers to score.
- Checkered Deck: Having only two suits allows Straight Flush to be formed much easier.
Poker Hands[]
- Straights and flushes become easier to make as you can score them with only 4 cards. However, the biggest benefit is to more easily create higher scoring flush-based hands like Straight Flush, Flush House or Flush Five. Straight flushes, especially, become much easier with Four Fingers as both the "flush" and "straight" parts can be made with 4 different cards out of the 5 played, as described above.
- Specially, with Four Fingers, Royal Flush can be made from A K Q J or K Q J 10 of the same suit, or any four of A-10 when combined with Shortcut. This doesn't have much influence on the score, but can be used for unlocks like the Royale achievement and Brainstorm's unlock condition.
Jokers[]
- Shortcut joker makes straights and straight flushes easier to make as your straights can begin skipping ranks.
- Square Joker can be scaled with straights and flushes when four cards are played.
- SĆ©ance can be easier to trigger since straight flushes are easier to get.
- Marble Joker adds stone cards to the deck, which are extra useful, since they can now be used with 4-card flushes or straights to boost chip counts.
- Four Fingers does not stack. Multiple copies still require four cards to make straights and flushes.
Trivia[]
- In poker, card sets are called "hands", and the relevant hands here are normally five cards each, so "Four Fingers" is a reference to a hand that's short by one card/finger.
- The drawing on the joker is very similar to common cartoon hands, which often have only four fingers.
- "Four fingers" is a sign that is made in Baseball to direct a pitcher to intentionally walk the batter.
