Where and What is Jimbo?

[Judge Cudge]

Title is the question. Jimbo from Balatro was put into the game.
Has anyone found him and if so what is he and what does he do?

[Echsrick]

you play poker......and if you score good you can get things...if not then he will try to kill you

Oh cool, any unique things or just some odds and ends?

He mostly gives you bananas if you do somewhat well (great source btw) occasionally though, you'll get gold and gems

Is there some place I find Jimbo or does he find me?

I found him randomly in the savanna area after I went caving.

If you play the mini-game, your sanity will drain very fast + it doesn't pause the game (if you're playing solo) so you will have to keep an eye out for everything that's happening around you. Also, if you choose to back or leave in the middle of the mini-game to take care of sanity/hunger/etc, it will reset the mini-game.

Completing the game with a good score will give you rewards (higher score = better rewards). If not, he'll try to kill you whether via sanity drain or spawning random hostile mobs (based on my experience so far)

I haven't fully explore this new content yet so I apologize if there are any mistakes, happy DST! :))

What do the card drops and building a deck with them do?
