Hi everyone, We have some exciting news to share! Introducing our very first "Friend of Jimbo" collaboration! You can now personalise your decks with brand-new cosmetic card skins featuring fan-favourite characters from The Witcher 3, Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, and Among Us. This update is completely FREE and available now on Steam and consoles. Add some visual flair to your game by swapping out the traditional face cards—Kings, Queens, and Jacks—with beloved characters like Geralt, Yennefer, and Jaskier from The Witcher! This "Friends of Jimbo" surprise is the second of three major announcements about Balatro this summer. The first was the promise of a major content update in 2025, revealed earlier this month. Now, the real question is...what’s our final surprise? ![cba56c18d7b51ce76ceea9cc7e17e72dbddc0bcb.gif](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FbJwqjjpz%2Fcba56c18d7b51ce76ceea9cc7e17e72dbddc0bcb.gif) Trailer: [YouTube - Official](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qChMssQkk3M) — [Nintendo](https://youtu.be/8188WZxHSkU)

Looks like there was a glitch in my favor in the mobile version.
I had a Pair run and pivoted to include Two-Pair synergy too. Throughout the run, I upgraded Pair a lot (Lvl 10 or so) and Two-Pair barely. If I play a Two-Pair, does the multiplier only trigger as if I played a Two-Pair or does it also trigger the Pair multiplier? Trying to figure out it if makes sense to invest in the pants joker or if I run the risk of losing because I don't rack up enough points. Thanks! Edit: Ended up not going for Two-Pairs, unless I had to because of boss blinds, and got to 11/8. Pretty good :)
For real, it's all because I got that crazy fuckin banana joker. I'd have been cooked without it.
Especially in higher stakes, but just in general I find myself going for high card, pair, and two pair builds. I was just wondering if anyone had any other builds they are excited about.
For anyone that's interested. Anaglyph backs
