The game is finished, but if you want to see of an example of the Joker's moves (right in the middle of a complex position) you can check move 28 and 29. It might give some insight to the joker's value:
28...Bf7Â (black bishop attacks joker)
29.Jxf7Â Â (joker gets the bishop's move and captures the bishop)
29...Qxf7 (white captures the black joker in return)
This shows joker may indeed be about the average of the other pieces.
Black willing to give up bishop for joker. (calculating joker is worth more).
White sacrifices joker to capture bishop (calculating bishop is worth more).
So joker must be somewhere in the middle. :)

You have a good combination of game pieces. I also like the archbishop and chancellor. I can't wait to see the graphics you use.
