** Abilities that cause a card to retrigger when played also indirectly causes other things that trigger off of that card being played to trigger again. For example, playing a hand of five face cards while you have Sock and Buskin and Smiley Face causes Smiley Face to trigger ten times and add a total of 40 Mult.
** The Oops! All 6s joker [[LuckManipulationMechanic doubles all probabilities]], which does indeed turn 1 in 2 chances into 2 in 2 chances, making them always trigger. However, because it doubles ''all'' probabilities, it also affects potentially negative ones. It causes glass cards to have a 2 in 4 chance of shattering, Gros Michel to have a 2 in 4 chance of destroying itself, and The Wheel blind to cause 2 in 7 cards to be drawn face down.

It causes glass cards to have a 2 in 4 chance of shattering, Gros Michel to have a 2 1 in 4 3 chance of destroying itself, itself ([[spoiler:which isn't necessarily a bad thing as a higher chance of it going extinct makes Cavendish easier to show up, which will be put at a still miniscule 1/500 chance of expiring if Oops! All 6s remains in play]]) , and The Wheel blind to cause 2 in 7 cards to be drawn face down.


Added DiffLines:

** Four Fingers makes both straights and flushes only take 4 cards to be recognized as opposed to the usual 5. Since the game defines a straight flush as "a hand that contains [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment both a straight and a flush]]", this means that so long as both conditions are filled by the five cards played it's considered valid[[note]]i.e. if your four-card straight contains three clubs, adding any other club as the fifth card will turn the hand into a straight flush instead[[/note]]


Added DiffLines:

** The spawning of "secret" hands in the Celestial Card pool mentioned in AntiFrustrationFeatures creates an interesting strategy for Flush Five builds: [[spoiler:Five of a Kind and Flush Five are two different hands so avoiding playing the former if you're building towards the latter prevents Planet X from being added to the pool, giving you slightly better odds of Eris cards appearing once you start playing Flush Fives.]]

 --->'''Fantastic:''' They were going door to door asking if anyone knew any scientists. I said look no further. They asked me if I knew anything about power plants. I said as much as anyone I'd ever met. They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
