Black Deck clarification...

[Sniperfire]

Is the black deck supposed to increase joker slots by 1 each round? So first round would be 0/6, second round 0/7, third round 0/8 and so on? and is it bugged?

Or is the text incorrect and the black deck is really only "+1 joker slot, -1 hand" for the whole run?

It is +1 joker -1 hand size for the whole run. None of the decks do repeated effects?

black deck will only screw you once. your chances are already tight as is

This. The "each round" text exists is several places where it is not really needed / can cause confusion.

Thanks, I assumed it was only once, as eventually we'd run out of hands, but I do agree the "every round" term is definitely messing with me.

I really struggled with that deck, it's hard to get a single win.

The black deck has +1 "joker slot" and -1 "hands per round". So the number of hands you can play each round is one less than it would be with any other deck.

The wording in this game can be weird, a lot of other things need to be reworded and the fact that Hand and Hands are used interchangeable in text but one means your Actual Hand with Cards in it (Hand) and the other is how many times you can play before it is game over (Hands).
In summary Black Deck will just increase your Joker Capacity by +1 and reduce the number of times you can play to reach your blinds (Hands) by -1.
