What does Egg do ?

[Napo]

Card says "gains 3$ of sell value at the end of round" what does that mean exactly ?

[Pestilancer]

It means that the value you'd get for selling the card increases by $3 every round, so you can buy it early and then sell it later for significantly more than you bought it for.

Think of the egg as a piggy bank. After every round (blind), $3 is put into the piggy bank. At any time, you can smash the piggy bank (sell the joker) to get all the money inside.

Jokers can be sold at any time during your run by clicking the card and pressing the sell tab. By default you get back 50% of what you paid. The egg's resell value increases by 3 dollars each round played (not skipped). There is a tarot card that you can play which will give you the total sell value of all your jokers, as well as other jokers that will give you mult and chip bonuses depending on the total sell value of all your cards.

makes sense, thanks!

The egg works great with the Swashbuckler. As the Egg gets more value after every round. Swashbuckler gets better

You could also feed it to the ritual dagger, though that lacks the nice element of being able to harvest a steadily increasing benefit over time.

(OTOH when you do feed it to the dagger it frees the joker slot, so it's not all bad.)


Gift Card is potentially better to combo with Swashbuckler if you get to choose.

Egg is good for the temperance tarot card too, as using a temperance gives your sell value of all your current jokers in immediate money (up to a max of $50). There is the trade off tho, Egg is not a point scoring joker and not an active econ joker (active meaning playing hands/rounds makes you money you can use), so you must decide if the increasing value is worth it for a while.

Egg also works well with Swashbuckler as Swash will give you +mult based on the sell value of your current jokers. A high egg can feed ceremonial dagger well too (if you think that is worth it).
