Rich get Richer is a Challenge Deck. It prevents Chips from exceeding the current amount of money the player is holding before multiplying Chips and Mult.

Starting Contents

The starting deck contains the standard 52 cards.

Synergies

  • Economy Jokers such as Rocket, Mail-In Rebate and especially To the Moon help generate money and increase the cap on Chips.
  • Bootstraps is a great addition during this challenge, since you want to have as much money as possible.
  • While Bull is weaker than usual, due to the challenge preventing chips from exceeding dollars, it does still max out your chip value in this challenge.
  • Using Jokers that rely on + Mult can be a good strategy since Mult is unaffected by the Chips restriction.
    • For example, Green Joker, Spare Trousers, Fortune Teller, etc.
  • Similarly, Jokers that give XMult are unrestricted by the Chip restriction.
    • Lucky Cat can synergize well with this deck since you can potentially gain $20 from Lucky Cards, on top of the X0.25 Mult that Lucky Cat gains.
  • Temperance, The Hermit and Immolate will also gain money.

Anti-Synergies

  • Jokers that add a lot of Chips, such as Stuntman and Arrowhead, generally do not get to see their full effect due to the cap on Chips.
  • Wraith should be avoided as it sets money to $0.
  • Credit Card is pretty much useless seeing as going into debt is essentially an immediate loss.
  • Vagabond would not be useful since you need to have $4 or less during the round to produce tarot cards, limiting the player to 4 Chips.
  • Avoid playing your most played hand against The Ox as it'll set money to $0.
  • The Tooth deducts $1 for each played card, reducing your Chip maximum and potentially losing the game.

Trivia

  • This challenge is the only way in the game that allows the player to score a 0-point hand, which happens when the player lets their money drop to $0 or less.
  • "The rich get richer" (which is often followed up by "and the poor get poorer") is an expression used to describe the widening wealth gap between wealthy individuals and the impoverished. The expression is also used to describe situations where people who have a lot will only ever receive more of it, and those who have little will have even that taken away from them. This ties into the overall challenge; builds with a lot of money will progress through the run faster and faster while builds that lack money will have a tougher and tougher time meeting the score requirements until it becomes impossible to win.
