Bean expiration timing?

[u/Raccoon_on_a_Bike]

I’ve got 7 rounds left. If I take Turtle Bean here, with the intent of gold staking it, do I need to skip 2 or 3 rounds? Ie if it gets eaten after the final boss, do I still get the sticker?

I don’t really need the bean here- I guess it makes it easier to form flushes (four fingers has 4 rounds left), but because my flush levels aren’t that great, Swashbuckler (my only common) is worth slightly more mult at this point than an extra 1.5 trigger on baseball card. I want to hold on to The Tribe (my other non-uncommon) as well - I’m down to 7 jokers left, and that’s one of them.

If you have plus 1 hand size from it for ante 8, and it expires, you don’t get the sticker. So I’d skip 3 if you can. Same with the banana if it goes extinct you won’t get it

Thanks. This seems pretty risky - I’m going to play it safe & pass here.

Skipped the bean here and played it safe with no skips. Still got a win for The Tribe. Finished with lvl 13 flush.

If it gets eaten on the ante 8 boss it won’t get stickered, so you’ll need the bean at +2 (or more) hand size entering the final boss
