Buck's Game Night v3.2.0 (9/4/26)

I'm finally gonna properly use the GitHub release feature! This update adds 11 new Jokers and mainly deals with fixing some lingering bugs and balance issues I've been wanting to deal with. I would have had this update out weeks ago, but I ended up taking time to participate in the Potato Patch collab mod "Fish & Chips"! I was one half of the Doodlenauts team (code) alongside fellow Balatro modder @FatalError404 (art)! F404 drew a lot of fish for that project, and after that project was finished, they also were kind enough to draw the sprite for one of the new Jokers in this release! Big thank you to them for being a great teammate and an incredible artist! You can check out their personal Balatro mod here!

NEW ADDITIONS:

• The Admiral (Common) - Destroys all scoring Hole-Punched cards
• Fish Wish (Common) - 1 in 2 chance for cards in Standard Packs to be the same rank as the most prevalent rank in your deck
• In A Grove (Common) - Scoring cards give chips equal to the highest-scoring rank, if scoring hand contains a 5, scoring cards instead give Mult equal to the lowest-scoring rank
• Guess Who (Uncommon) - Does your Joker relate to {random attribute}? If so, that Joker gives X1.5 Mult, question changes each round
• King Me! (Uncommon) - Convert all scoring cards to Kings on last hand of round
• Omen (Uncommon) - Create a Spectral card when Blind is selected, 1 in 13 chance this card is destroyed at end of round, odds increase by 1 each round
• Revolution (Uncommon) - If a Four of a Kind has been played this round, each played 2, 3, 4, and 5 gives X2 Mult
• Safety Zone (Uncommon) - The leftmost 2 Jokers cannot be destroyed
• Azulejos (Rare) - –1 discard each round, draw all discarded cards to your hand on last hand of round
• Blackjack (Rare) - If sum of played cards is 21 or under, this Joker gains chips equal to the sum, resets if sum is 22 or above
• Old Maid (Rare) - Creates a Legendary Joker when destroyed. This Joker cannot be sold

BALANCE + OTHER CHANGES:

• The Joker previously known as “The Admiral” has been renamed to “Cavity Sam”
• The Joker previously known as “Slamwich” has been renamed to “Egyptian Ratscrew” and has a new sprite
• Queen’s Gambit has been buffed. This Joker is now Common, costs $5, and now destroys the rightmost card instead of a random card.
• Theora has been removed
• Defuse has been nerfed and now has a different ability: After at least 2 Blinds have been skipped, sell this Joker to instantly win the current Blind
• Scoundrel has been buffed (0.5X -> 1X)
• Congress has been nerfed and now has a different ability: Gives $1 per card of the most prevalent rank in your full deck
• The Checker has been changed from debuffing all scoring cards after triggering to simply removing the ability for scoring cards to retrigger. This was done to prevent certain Jokers from breaking when cards got debuffed (specifically Photograph)

• Cavity Sam (previously known as “The Admiral”) is now properly behind an enhancement gate
