Anyway I've finished.
Let's clear up that ending shall we!
For anyone who has not read the manga, the ending was mostly true to the manga. A meteorite hit earth, it caused everyone's hearts to stop for exactly one minute and they were then in the border between life and death. Purgatory basically. The sequel manga goes a little more in depth around the borderlands and even shows that the government is aware of it and uses it to their benefit. Neat stuff.
The joker card at the end was not in the manga. The manga ends with Arisu being asked what he wants to do in the future and he thinks about becoming a psychiatrist. And true to the manga, no one remembers each other but as you see in the show, they are drawn to each other. In the manga, Ann and other survivors from the manga we know of hang around each other.
Akane and Doudou (manga only) visit Aguni as he's in a coma and talk about how they arent sure why they visit him so much, but that they feel the need to, indicating there's some memory still there in the back of their minds.
The manga did not have the scene of the meteorite hitting, that was show only, which I think was great. I liked them listing off the names of the victim's, that also did not happen.
So, what do I think the Joker card means.
I don't think it means they're still in the borderlands, nor is there another game coming. I think that's the shows way of opening doors to potentially adapting the sequel (based on a new cast) and one-shot spin off manga based around Arisu. Or they may do something completely different around the borderlands.
Or it could just mean "The End"
I don't think we're supposed to read too deeply into it.

Aib Women: Reaction to lap sitting and neck kissing
Thanks for the request!
Warning: kissing? Suggestive meanings
Kuina:
- Dies immediately
- She would’ve never guessed you were this bold till now
- enjoys the neck kisses and let’s you know
-keeps her hands on your waist as she enjoys the kisses
- when you pull up to look at her she’s flustered and blushing yet determined
- she returns the favor by putting you onto you back and kissing your neck and jaw
Ann:
- was concerned that you even sat on her lap in the first place
- repeatedly asks what you’re doing on her lap and looks very confused
- once you kiss her neck she stiffens and lets out a sigh
- you could tell Ann wasn’t used to this type of sensual affection so you helped her put her hands on thighs
- when you pulled back to check on her she was looking at you with a blank stare but cupped your face leaning in to kiss you
- baffled is the word to describe for Ann doing something this bold
-slow and heavy makeout session commenced
Mira:
- Is very pleased with the fact you got on her laps and starts giggling to see where this is going
- once you start the kisses she relaxes her hands on legs, rubbing them
- she lets out sighs and slight moans from the kisses
- praises you while your kissing her neck, repeated “ good girl” “ right there” etc
- when you pull back you see her with a dark glint in her eyes and a smirk
- she leans up and kisses you
- starts to unbutton your shirt, button by button
- the rest is pretty obvious ;)
Queen of Spades:
- smirks as you sit on her lap, hee hands rest themselves on your waist as she questions you
- you ignore her snarky comments and start kissing her neck
- you can still feel her smirking as her hands roam your sides
- she lets out hums of satisfaction
- once you pull away you see her looking at you mischievously
- nothing less expected from her, she grips the back of your neck and brings her lips to yours
- kisses you like there’s no tomorrow
Urumi:
- looks at you inquisitively as you let yourself fall on her lap
- she smiles nonetheless asking “ what’s my girl gonna do??”
- she traces your jaw with her index finger as she looks at you smugly
- you kiss her finger before kissing her neck
- she smiles in delight at you acting out boldly
- once you come back up, she’s slightly blushing but still has that smug look on her face
- “someone’s feeling risky hm?”
Akane
- looks shocked but doesn’t protest
- “ babe, what’s going on”
- gives big himbo energy from how confused she is
- once you start kissing her neck she lets out a simple “ oh-“
- she’s enjoying but is somewhat shy when it comes to you
- when she gets comfortable with the contact she starts to hum in delight and move her hands under your shirt
- she wants that skin to skin contact with her hands and your stomach, rubbing circles around your waist
- when you come back up, she asks “ wanna continue?”
- rest up for imagination
