Duplicate Bonuses & Combining
Pulling a duplicate of Philosopher's Stone from a pack adds a spare copy to your collection. Spend spare copies in the Cards tab to combine and raise its level โ each level costs a number of copies equal to the card's current level. Reaching the maximum level of 6 from level 1 requires 15 total copies. Read the full Duplicate Cards & Combining guide for the general combine mechanics, or use the Combine All button in-game to apply every possible level-up across your whole collection at once.
Evolution
Tycoon Cards does not currently have a card evolution system โ Philosopher's Stone progresses only through the standard duplicate-combine mechanic described above. Evolution is listed as a researched feature on our Updates & Roadmap page; this page will be updated if it's ever implemented.
Fusion
There is no cross-card fusion system in Tycoon Cards today. Every card, including Philosopher's Stone, is levelled independently using its own spare copies โ you cannot combine it with a different card. Like Evolution, this is tracked as a possible future system on the Updates page.
Collection & Faction
Philosopher's Stone belongs to the Magic collection โ one of the thematic groupings used across the card archive. Browse every card in this collection from the main Card Guide, or see the "Related cards" section below for direct links to its closest siblings.
