In jokers54, jokers are placed as X1/X2 during play, then resolved at finalization.

1) Optimization priority

The engine selects the best joker assignment in this strict order:

  1. anti-foul
  2. best Fantasyland outcome
  3. maximum royalties

2) Canonical tie-break

If two assignments are equal on these criteria:

  • compare X1 then X2
  • card order: rank A..2, then suit s > h > d > c
  • keep the lexicographically highest assignment
