Having good luck isn't cheating, is it?

Well apparently you can't take snaps of the menu screens, so this will have to do.

At the moment, I'm at 48 brain capacity. I remember seeing on the Wiki that once you hit 50, you only get brain capacity cards that increase by 1 (and that they are horribly expensive at that), so I was a bit tickled when I got an add 3 BC card, since that would kind of gank the system and put me at 51 with an "illegal" card. Of course, since it was a  +3 to the 48 I already have, it costs well over 150,000 iMG, which is MUCH more than I can afford right now. I also had another somewhat expensive card (25,000) pop up that I kind of wanted as well. I debated on whether to save for the BC card or if I should get the cheaper card first. In the end, I went with the cheaper card, since I'm only at 42+1 skills and the next few skills I want will take a few days to learn anyway. And then this happened: i181.photobucket.com/albums...

Lol, looks like I'll be cheating the system not once, but TWICE. And I know for fact that the iMG cost won't go up on the second card, as this isn't the first time I've had two BC cards in my hand.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have 300,000 iMG to go grind. ;P

  • What if you save up and spend all that imagination and only get to the maximum brain capacity anyway?

  • so i have a question - i was under the impression that a +5 card is still available at 48 and have been holding out for it.

    Is that just a pipe dream or worth being patient for?

  • The maximum Brain Capacity is 60. After 50 you are only dealt cards of +1 capacity. You are at 48 so you are still being dealt bigger cards.  That is entirely in keeping with what the wiki says. Your +3 card is not illegal in any way. You are not cheating in any way.

  • There are +5 cards??

    But wow, that is extremely lucky indeed! :)

  • I think that if you buy a card that would put you over the brain cap, it'll still cap you at 60 and the extra amount of brain capacity that comes with that card won't count.

  • the cap is indeed 60, but you should definitely save up for both of those +3 cards and not reshuffle, you will save so much in the long run! Lucky!

  • When i was buying BC cards i did the same thing and sat at 48 until i got 2 ,+3's, its not cheating its just good luck! However if your quoin multiplier isn't all that high you might want to forgo not shuffling the deck and instead just keep buying reshuffle cards, to save up so you can shuffle again later to get a similar hand. But that option will cost currants, since odds are you'll need  a LOT of the reshuffle cards. Thats what i did but it made me rather broke for awhile!
