# Pick or Skip?
✅ Best Use Case
Budget Pick: Great filler for early Antes.
🛑 When to Skip
Falls off hard in late game (Ante 8+).
⚠️ Common Mistake
"Over-reliance. Keeping this card past Ante 6 often leads to a loss because it lacks multiplicative scaling (X-Mult)."
Joker is the foundational starter card that doubles early-game hand scores; pick it immediately in Ante 1 for chip progression. It scales terribly late-game—sell it once you have 3+ quality Jokers. Essential early filler but becomes deadweight by Ante 3.
