Superposition is a common Joker that will gift you a Tarot card, whenever you can play Straights that contain Aces: either Ace/K/Q/J/10 or Ace/2/3/4/5.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

  • Red Deck Red Deck gives an extra discard.
  • Blue Deck Blue Deck gives an extra hand.
  • Painted Deck Painted Deck gives extra hand size.
  • Abandoned Deck Abandoned Deck makes it impossible to get an A/K/Q/J/10 Straight, but easier to get an A/2/3/4/5 Straight. Generally a downside, unless you can manage to remove all the 10 till 6 cards too.

Poker Hands[]

Jokers[]

  • Shortcut Shortcut: Normally, there are only two possible straights that contain an ace: A/2/3/4/5, and 10/J/Q/K/A. This makes it relatively difficult to trigger Superposition. Shortcut, however, allows straights to skip single cards, vastly increasing the number of ways this joker can be triggered.
  • Four Fingers Four Fingers: Similarly, though to a lesser extent, Four Fingers makes it easier to trigger Superposition by reducing the requirements for a straight to just 4 consecutive cards instead of 5.
    • Mathematically, assuming a standard 52-card deck: the number of 5-card hands that trigger Superposition increases by a factor of 12 with the addition of Four Fingers, a factor of 16 with the addition of Shortcut, and a factor of 84 with both. Meanwhile, the chance of getting any straight at all increases by a factor of 12.2 with the addition of Four Fingers, a factor of 12.8 with the addition of Shortcut, and a factor of 76.3 with both.
    • However, take care that if you use Four Fingers to create a straight that doesn't score the Ace and try to include the Ace to trigger Superposition, for example: 5/6/7/8/A, the straight will not count and no Tarot card will be created.
  • Scholar Scholar and Walkie Talkie Walkie Talkie: Will give additional chips and Mult, as Straights triggering the Superposition effect will always contain an Ace, plus a 10 or 4.

Trivia[]

  • In quantum mechanics, superposition is the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured. The sprite of this Joker resembles an electron, which can only have +1/2 or -1/2 spin, similar to how Aces can only form high or low straights.
