A perfect score in PathJack is a little above 45,000 pts. What's your high for today's puzzle?

At the end of a game, the background in PathJack cycles through all four card suits. It's subtle, so I've put together a timelapse GIF to make it more obvious.

Two jokers in the upper-right quadrant? 🃏🃏 Could be trouble if you're not careful!

I love the seal that ‪@polygontreehouse.bsky.social‬ masterminded! Happy to report that PathJack does not use any AI generated code or assets.

A six card path to 21 is crazy 🤪

The red joker nearest the center could be an issue, but it's the black joker that I think will give most players trouble today. If you start with 6♥️+10♠️+5♣️, you're gonna have a bad time!

That joker on the right blocks some big cards (J♠️, 10♦️, 10♥️, 9♠️), but when you hit 25,000 points, you'll be able to remove him from the board! You can play a new PathJack puzzle every day over at @itch.io

Today's Puzzle: You can earn the maximum bonus if you build a path using 9♠️+9♣️+3♦️, but I see at least one other way to get to 21 on your first move. What's your opening?
#indiegames #puzzles
The Nine of Spades, Nine of Clubs, and Three of Diamonds are selected, making a hand size of twenty-one.
