It is literally impossible to win with the square joker

[Krinkle]

If you try to feed this thing it's the equivalent of driving at highway speeds and jerking the wheel suddenly to the right and rolling. No hand can survive it. Please delete it. it is literally unfixable.

It scales slow, and grindy the impact falls off quickly as +chips are meh, at 10 hands worth of grinding you can get more from one tarot card, to be a 'decent' plus chips it needs to have run 15 hands minimum - more like 20....so you need it early and be able to balance not winning too quick, with the econ penelties for going slow all for what an extra +4/+8 chips a round

It's rubbish I hate it

yeah it feels like more of a mediocre scaling card at low stake. at higher stakes it's a potential run killer by ruining your economy. but occasionally this is the only chip joker you can find so you try to make it work anyways.
just consider it part of the difficulty. in a card game you are supposed to have bad cards.

it's a perfectly cromulent joker

Can't stand these youtuber who claim you suck at the game because they manage to do crazy plays after playing thr game for 2000 hours.

Square joker is fine. It's a good complement to +mult jokers that scale by hands played; if you're already slow rolling extra hands to pump green/bus/supernova/pants/what have you then you're adding a ton of additional scaling without any extra cost. It's neither great nor terrible, like a lot of the other commons.

i won using two

It's best combined with Four Fingers for Straights and Flushes; or strong 4-of-a-kind/set builds. Theoretically with enough Bonus Mult and Multi-Mult, you can build a Two Pair strategy, but that's REALLY hard to score enough with.

I do think it needs to scale higher to compensate for the lower amount of card scoring, though.
