Which pair changes your actual score?
02
Held Kings
Baron multiplies for Kings held in hand; Mime retriggers held-card effects. A played King no longer counts as held.
03
First scored card
Photograph multiplies the first scored face card; Hanging Chad repeats the first scored card. Card order and the scored card both matter.
The trigger comes first
A combo needs the right card at the right moment. Baron and Mime need Kings held in hand; Photograph and Hanging Chad need the first scored card to be a face card.
Try an actual play
A single scored King can trigger Photograph three times with Hanging Chad: once normally and twice on its repeats. Change the card or Boss and that result may disappear.
Frequently asked questions
Do all Joker pairs work in any order?
No. Copy targets and the order of flat and multiplying effects can change the score. Test the row you actually have.
