[Hit the Road] could use a Buff.
Unless I'm missing some kind of obvious combo, [Hit the Road] his pretty weak. Especially compared to the King and Queen Jokers, and considering its a Rare Joker.
I think something like
"If 3 Jacks were discarded in a round, permanently add x0.5 per discarded Jack"
Would give it the nice boost that it needs.

The main reason Hit the Road is useful is because most builds are discarding anyway. If you just strength a few 10s to Jacks, maybe grab a discard voucher or two, it can pretty consistently be a X3-X4 Mult Joker at least, which is on par with Trio and Driver's Lisence. Plus, it combos with other discard synergies like Faceless, Burnt, and Castle pretty well. Any build that doesn't need a certain rank to win can easily accommodate it.

It suffers on higher stakes from less discards and hand size, though.

Nah this is some peak cope, hit the road is probably the worst rare joker straight up, its so bad its worth avoiding unlocking it.

At least the other temporary mult rare (campfire) lasts a while before resetting so you can actually build something with it, hit the road is an unpredictable mess that almost every time will just be worse than a duo, trio, tribe or order.
