      The attention to detail is amazing.

      I think the Castle joker ( https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Castle_(Joker) seen in the trailer) resembles Schloss Neuschwanstein ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Adolf_Hitler_-_Schloss_Neuschwanstein.jpg ). Painted by Hitler, the whole discarding cards to gain more power takes a bit of a sinister turn.

      There are loads of other awesome art details

      Edit:
      Markdown is messing with the wiki link

        I have to disagree. I don’t think the joker does look like either Neuschwanstein or Hitler’s painting of Neuschwanstein.

        Nonetheless I agree that the artworks shown in the trailer are great.

        What has Hitler got to do with this? Huh? What the hell. And how would that metaphor even work … Discarding what to gain more power?

        You are reaching a hell of a lot here

          Discarded cards can’t be played again until the next round. Essentially destroying them for that round.
          Hitler is fairly well known for blaming Jews and working on their genocide.

          It is a reach. But I saw the castle painting in The Gentlemen series, and thought it looked familiar.
          Unless there is something else about the word castle, or that artwork that is relevant? Considering how on point so much else of the artwork and names are
