Runner provides a Chips boost when Straights are played (including Straight Flushes and Royal Flushes).
This Joker cannot receive the Perishable sticker.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Abandoned Deck is the easiest Deck to scale Runner thanks to its lower amount of cards.
Poker Hands[]
- Straight and Straight Flush are recommended to scale Runner consistently.
- Royal Flush is valid for upgrading this card too.
Jokers[]
- Shortcut allows Straights to be made with gaps in them, making it easier to get that hand
- Four Fingers allows Straights to be scored with only four cards instead of the usual five, making it easier to get that hand.
Anti-Synergies[]
Decks[]
- Black Deck has poor synergy with Runner due to -1 hand penalty.
- Erratic Deck can make it difficult to use Runner as the randomized rank and suit makes it harder to form Straights.
Jokers[]
- Jokers that reduces hand size, like Stuntman, Merry Andy have anti-synergy with Runner as smaller hand size makes it harder to assemble Straight.
Blinds[]
- The Manacle's -1 hand size makes it hard to assemble Straights.
- The Water starts with 0 discard, making it very hard to assemble Straights.
Trivia[]
- This is the only Chip Joker that scales by playing a hand of a specific type; in this case, Straights (which can include Straight Flushes). Its counterpart, Spare Trousers, scale its +Mult by playing hands that contain Two Pairs.
- The runner's ID number, #345, is itself a (short) Straight.
- The name is a reference to how in some games, straights are called "runs"
