When does the copied Planet help?

01

Leave the shop holding a Planet

Perkeo makes a Negative copy of one held consumable when you leave. If you hold several, the copied card is random; keep only the Planet you want when that choice matters.

02

Match the hand type

Observatory gives ×1.5 Mult for each matching Planet held in the consumable area. A Planet for a different poker hand does not help this play.

03

Count copies at the right time

One matching Planet gives ×1.5; two give ×2.25. A copy made after a play cannot improve that earlier score. Check the next Blind with the Planets you actually hold.

Copy first, score later

Perkeo makes a Negative copy of a held consumable when you leave a shop. Observatory checks Planets held when you score their matching poker hand. The copy cannot affect a play before it exists.

Example: two matching Planets

One matching Planet gives ×1.5 Mult. Two give ×1.5 twice, or ×2.25. Keep only the desired consumable before leaving if Perkeo’s random choice matters.

Frequently asked questions

Will any Planet help any hand?

No. Observatory applies only when the Planet matches the poker hand you score.
