Play as the Joker in the pack with this free additional playbook for The House Doesn't Always Win! This playbook contains brand new skills and a new way to approach challenges for advanced players looking to shake things up a little.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ

To use the Joker playbook you'll need to select a Picture Card that isn't being used by any other player in the game and remove it from the game. In its place, put one of the jokers you removed at the start of the game in the deck. That card now represents your character in the same way any other Picture Card would and acts as such. As your character has no suit from the start it won't contribute to any suit in your challenges until you take the skill Wildcard Baby.

Very interesting playbook ๐Ÿƒ

One thing that I believe would be better is if the info about switching one of the Picture Cards for the Joker, were in the playbook itself to avoid confusion.

Also, I'm not sure, but I've noticed a small typo in the Did They Plan That? Skill. According to the rules of Cheat and Steal, it should read "you may Steal to add that card to your hand," instead of "you may Cheat to add that card to your hand." 

Lovely to see people still playing this, hope you're enjoying the game! Been a while since I dipped into the rule book so had to check myself but yes that seems to be a typo. I'll add a note to the page description when I get a chance :)
