Willow

Some character named Jimbo wants you to play a card game with him.
To start, you should choose one of three Jokers. Each has a different way to give you a little edge in the game.
Second, play Poker. You can choose cards to discard and replace with new cards. You can do that twice.
Then your hand will be evaluated. You will get chips based on the value of your cards. You will get a Multiplier based on the quality of your hand. Your Chips times your Multiplier is your points. Get as many points as you can. Jimbo might give you something for your time.

-Scrapbook Description

JIMBO Set Piece

The JIMBO is a special, naturally spawning structure that can be found in its Set Piece. Players can interact with JIMBO to play a game similar to Balatro, which itself is similar to Poker. The player can score points and if the player scores too little points or leaves the game while playing, they will receive a penalty. If they finish a game with enough points, they will receive a reward instead.

The JIMBO provides light that can protect players from Darkness.

Game

To play the game:

  1. Pick Joker: Player has to choose one Joker from the 3 options. They can exit and reopen the game menu to reroll the Jokers. Exiting the game after it has started will spawn hostile Monsters.
  2. Discard: Player can choose which cards to discard and draw new cards. This can be done twice.
  3. Evaluate and Reward: JIMBO calculates the number of Chips and gives something based on the score.

Scores

When evaluating scores, JIMBO adds up the values of five cards: numbered cards use their face value, while A and J count as 11, Q as 12, and K as 13. The total is then multiplied by a score multiplier, which is determined by the type of hand and any bonus from the chosen Joker.

Placeholder.png Trivia

  • The JIMBO was added in the A Royal Welcome for Jimbo update.
  • The theoretical highest possible score attainable in the poker mini game is 3192. This can be obtained by having Wendy trigger on all 10 discarded cards, and having a final hand of 4 kings and 1 queen. The final equation totals to 114 chips x 28 mult, or 3192.
