This promo card, which debuted in Game Trade Magazine #210, is a collectible item that adds an extra layer of strategy and a touch of unpredictability to your deck. In the world of Fantasy Realms, every card in your hand counts, and the Jester is a master at turning odd numbers into precious points.

It's a fun challenge that can change the final score in an instant. This simple yet powerful card invites you to rethink your discard and draw strategies, seeking the perfect combination to maximize the Jester's points.
