Triboulet is one of the five legendary Jokers. Triboulet provides x2 Mult when any Kings and Queens are scored. Legendary Jokers can only be obtained from the Soul Spectral Card, which has a small chance to spawn in Spectral and Arcana Booster Packs.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

  • Most decks benefit equally from Triboulet, with the exception of the Abandoned Deck Abandoned Deck due to its lack of face cards at the start.
  • The Ghost Deck Ghost Deck has greater potential to enable Triboulet thanks to its greater access to Spectral Cards, both for being able to better manipulate your deck to add more Kings and Queens, as well as being able to add Red Seals to those cards to retrigger Triboulet's effect.

Poker Hands[]

Jokers[]

  • Any Joker that triggers on playing a face card naturally synergizes with Triboulet. An especially powerful combo lies with Sock and Buskin Sock and Buskin, which will retrigger Triboulet's multiplicative effect; A normal hand with five scoring Kings and Queens will see Triboulet give an effective x32 Mult, while with Sock and Buskin this balloons to x1024 Mult.

Trivia[]

  • Little biographical information is available about the jester Triboulet. It is known that in France, there have been at least three jesters referred to as "Triboulet", with the first one serving René of Anjou and also being a playwright, the second serving Louis XII, and the third one serving Francis I (and possibly also Louis XII). The second Triboulet died during Louis XII's reign, and he and the Third Triboulet later became confused as one person.
  • The effect of this joker is likely in reference to a story in which a court jester slapped the King on the buttocks. As the tale goes, the King told the jester he would be allowed to live if he could give an answer more offensive than the act itself. In response, the jester said, “I’m sorry, your majesty- I mistook you for the Queen!” This would explain why the effect of the joker specifically applies to only Kings and Queens. Although the historical accuracy of this story and quote is questionable, it is commonly attributed to Triboulet.
  • This joker is animated, with Triboulet hovering just above the blue card face.
  • The other legendary Jokers are Canio Canio, Chicot Chicot, Perkeo Perkeo, and Yorick Yorick.
