What does Ante mean ?

[Sylario]

It's all in the title, not sure what ante mean in the context of the game.

like stage or level, so if you bring the ante down i assume you can keep playing against blinds of the same difficulty to get more shops to scale.

But it does not increase at each round won. This game need a lexicon, I also does not understand blind.

Just poker terms for window dressing on the poker theme of the game.

Ante = Stage/floor
Blind = Stage/floor Boss

Those are poker term, the ante is an obligatory bet for each hand that will usually increase over time during a tournament (some have it at 0 at the beginning).
The blind is an amount of money that 2 players at the table are forced to bet before receiving their hands, there are the small blind and the big blind (the big blind is always twice the small). This is to ensure that every hand gets played a minimum to avoid money not moving between players, which in a tpurnament could cause delays etc. It also make the game a bit more interesting overall by forcing some players to make a move with hands they would normally not have played.


The game could use a lexicon for people unfamiliar with poker terms I do agree, the game is good enough that it should transcend the sphere of poker afficionados.

Blind = Stage/floor Boss

Ante = level, with 3 blinds.
Blind = single "fight", also called a round.
The way you said it kinda makes it sound like only the boss is a blind, which isn't true.

What value is there in taking the tarrot for "-1 Ante, -1 Hand"?

That's not a tarot card, it's a voucher. The value in it is that it gives you 3 more rounds to get better jokers, buy booster packs, get rewards from skipping, scale up certain jokers's rewards. It can be a lifesaver, especially if you're just barely managing to beat the current ante's requirements, and it can make great builds even better.

I think it should be particularly good with scaling jokers, -1 hand is a hefty price to pay though, I have never actually used it in the game so far because of that.

Yeah it's one of those things that only comes into use out of desperation or during a win-more roflstomp. That said, I have just been ending my runs after winning for the most part, but I did go to ante 12 on one particularly strong run so I could get some of the harder unlocks, and I can see its value there for sure, because the jump from 11 -> 12 is legitimately insane.

lol he's not asking what the poker terms are he's asking what the terms mean in the context of the game.
