Who should Blueprint or Brainstorm copy?
02
Compare every row order
A flat Mult effect before an ×Mult effect may score differently from the reverse. The order search checks the current hand and editions.
03
Recheck after a change
Moving, selling or adding a Joker changes copy targets. Recheck the arrangement when your row changes.
Copy targets follow position
Blueprint copies a compatible Joker to its right. Brainstorm copies the leftmost compatible Joker. Moving either one can change both copied effects.
Example: copy a live multiplier
If the leftmost Joker only pays cash after a round, copying it may not raise this hand’s score. Move the row so the copied effect fits the play you need, then compare the result.
Frequently asked questions
Can I copy a Joker that has no trigger now?
A copy follows the target’s conditions. If the target needs a card or event you do not have, moving the copy may not help this play.
