VALUE OF JOKER CARDS

Unread post by JacksandJokers »

Hi All,
I was just curious as to whether or not you thought that Joker cards were worth having in your poker decks?
Do any of you actually use them for game play?
If so which games?
Would you prefer something else (for example gaff cards) instead of the jokers if you to choose between the 2?

There are a few games I use jokers as wilds but for me I enjoy the custom jokers in custom decks. They add so much to the artwork.
Feeding the addiction one deck at a time.

I think they are important for tradition and for gameplay. I'm not a magician, so I don't really care about the reveals in the jokers. I prefer two different color jokers, preferably a red and a black one (if the hearts/diamonds are red and spades/clubs are black). I also think the jokers are an opportunity for the artist to step away even more from the traditional look of the court cards.

I hate ad cards. I don't care for gaff cards.

Jokers were invented to be used for the game "Euchre" as an extra trump card.
Jokers are also used in the game "Canasta" as a wild card along with the deuce`s.
