Constellation

How Constellation scales

Constellation gains ×0.1 Mult permanently every time a Planet card is used. Using a Planet card from your consumable slot, or cracking a Celestial Pack and using the Planet inside, both count.

Each Planet use is small, but they accumulate. A planet-heavy run can use 30-40 Planet cards by Ante 8, putting Constellation at ×4-5.

How Planet card use stacks up

These numbers assume you actively buy Celestial Packs and use the Planets rather than selling them.

Constellation + Planet card pipeline

To make Constellation a real win condition, you build around Planet acquisition:

• Telescope (uncommon joker): when a Celestial Pack is opened, the most-played hand type's Planet is guaranteed. Doesn't directly feed Constellation but makes Planet use more impactful.
• Astronomer: makes all Celestial Packs (and Planet cards in shop) free. With Astronomer + Constellation, you can spam Celestial Packs without economic pressure. This is the canonical pair.
• Cartomancer (creates a Tarot on Blind selection — wrong type, doesn't help).
• Perkeo + Black Hole: every shop creates a Negative Black Hole copy. Using each = 5 Planet uses at once (Black Hole levels every hand). +×0.5 to Constellation per Black Hole used.

Constellation + Astronomer is the optimal pair

Astronomer makes Celestial Packs free. Constellation gains mult from Planet use. Together:

• Buy every Celestial Pack in the shop (free with Astronomer).
• Use every Planet inside (each = +×0.1 Constellation).
• Planet card levels also boost the hand types you're scoring with — separate stacking gain.

An aggressive Astronomer + Constellation run uses 5-10 Planet cards per ante, putting Constellation at ×5-×8 by Ante 8 while every hand type is several levels up from Planet stacking.

Constellation + Blueprint / Brainstorm

Constellation's current X mult is multiplicative. Blueprint at Constellation ×5 contributes another ×5 from one slot.

The growth itself happens only on Constellation. Blueprint doesn't gain Mult from Planet use — it just reads Constellation's current value.

When to take, when to skip

Take Constellation:

• Early-mid run with Astronomer in play or in shop.
• Plasma Deck or balanced builds that benefit from Planet card levels regardless of Constellation.
• Black Hole / Perkeo access — each Black Hole use is 5 Planet uses (counts 5× toward Constellation).

Skip Constellation:

• No Astronomer and a lean economy — Celestial Packs cost real money that competes with shop slots.
• Late acquisition with few rounds left.
• Tarot-focused builds (Cartomancer engine) that don't generate Planet card volume.
