Reader's Guide

To form a Straight Flush, the player must select up to five cards from their hand that are all the same suit and have consecutive ranks. The game then calculates the hand's base value as 'Chips' and multiplies it by 'Mult'. The player can increase their Mult through Jokers, which are special cards held separately from the deck that provide bonuses when conditions are met. Players have a limited number of discards each round, allowing them to replace up to five cards in their hand to improve their chances of drawing the needed cards. The player's deck starts as a standard 52-card deck, but cards can be added, modified, or destroyed throughout a run using Tarot cards, Spectral cards, or booster packs from the shop. Planet cards can raise the level of a poker hand, increasing its base Chips and Mult values for the duration of the run.
