The Tribe is a rare joker that offers an easy x2 multiplier any time you play a Flush. It can be unlocked by winning a run without playing a Flush (though playing other hands that contain flushes such as Flush House are allowed).
Since the Tribe only offer x2 Mult and has no scaling potential it has limited utility past Ante 8.
Compared to the other hand-specific multiplicative mult cards The Tribe is probably the weakest because it only works with 4 possible hands (and only 2 of those are accessible without deck modification). However if you have a deck that lends itself to flushes with the occasional high-value flush (like Flush House or Flush Five) Tribe may be a better option.

Is Hiker Joker good?
FYI having the Showman joker lets you have cards reappear. Ive seen the All 6s card reappear in the shop but never had 2 copies in hand. Do having both stack in effect (i.e. 1-in-3 becomes 3-in-3 chance) or not? Yes itll double all probabilities twice.16 May 2024
