Planet Cards

Planet Cards are a type of consumable you can obtain throughout a run. They can be obtained through Celestial Packs, Blue Seal, two specific Tarot cards, and the Shop.

Planet Cards can level up their associated poker hand type by increasing the base value of chips and multiplier. Generally, the more difficult a hand is to play, the more chips and multiplier will be added from the Planet Card. There is no limit to how many times you can level up your poker hand. Poker hand levels are only kept for the duration of the run, and are reset each time you start a new one.

There are 12 different cards, however three of them - Eris, Ceres, and Planet X - are secret and not initially available through the methods mentioned above. There are no unlock conditions for Planet Cards, with the exception of the three secret planet cards, which can only be found in the shop after playing their associated poker hand type, and only for the rest of that specific run.

Discovering all 12 Planet Cards unlocks the Astronomer Joker.

Usage Notes

  • Planets, like other Jokers and Consumables, normally can't have duplicates in the shop or Booster Packs without Showman or Telescope. If all 12 Planets are unavailable, subsequent Planet spawns will always be Pluto.
  • A Royal Flush does not have a Planet Card associated with it because it levels up alongside a Straight Flush.

Trivia

  • In the Collection, the first nine planet cards are arranged by their order in the solar system.
  • The top of the artwork on the card highlights the position of the planet in the solar system, except Planet X, which has no section highlighted.
  • Similarly, the bottom of the artwork on the card shows the influenced hand type.
  • On mouseover, all planet cards are classed as "Planet", except for Pluto, Ceres, and Eris, which are all classed as "Dwarf Planet"; and Planet X, which is classed as "Planet?".
  • Even though Black Hole is not a planet card in and of itself, it is still stylized like a traditional planet card.
