📋 About This Mod
This is a simple deck, but due to some of the limitations of boss blinds, and 0 discards, it can prove challenging at higher stakes!
This deck you start with a copy of shortcut (Straights can be played with gaps of 1 rank), and your deck is made up of only even numbers. Be careful, playing a different poker hand than a straight will cost you 2$. Starting with 0 discards, build your decks and jokers to account for this, or be prepared to lose some of your hard earned money!
Leapfrog Deck is a simple Balatro deck mod that starts you with a Shortcut joker, allowing straights to be played with gaps of one rank. With only 4 endorsements and 154 downloads, it's a niche addition for players seeking a fresh challenge, especially at higher stakes where boss blinds and zero discards make it tricky.
