YOUR NEXT DECISION
Will Cavendish save the next Blind?
02
Count the slot and cash
If your row is full, compare the Joker you would sell, the sale price and the interest you give up.
03
Allow for the later risk
Cavendish can disappear after a round. Do not treat future rounds as guaranteed to keep it.
Decide with the next target
Cavendish multiplies Mult by three when it scores. Test it with your best visible hand and the Boss rule; a large multiplier can still miss a high Blind target.
The later risk matters
It has a small chance to be destroyed after a round. Include the cost of the Joker you must sell and the interest lost, then avoid treating later rounds as guaranteed Cavendish rounds.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cavendish always worth the slot?
No. Compare the hand it improves with the Joker it replaces and the gold left after buying.
