Thinking
- Check visible cards, including played and discarded to determine the focus and the meaning of a clue.
- e.g. you are given a 2 clue. You see red2 was played and the second red2 is in another hand. Therefore the clue means "2s which are not red".
- e.g. you are given a 4 clue that marks only your chop. You see no 4s have been discarded and no 4s on the chop of the players next to you. Therefore the clue means "this 4 is playable".
Cluing
- Don't mark trash cards (a.k.a. "good touch" rule).
- Save unique cards as the first priority.
- Look ahead for unique cards on chop. Sometimes more than one player must help to save consecutive unique cards.
- With few clue tokens, work out which players need them.
- Consider how the receiver can interpret your clue.
Discarding
- Trust your teammates to manage your cards.
- When there is nothing urgent to clue, don't be afraid to discard! Discarding is often the best move for the team.
Playing
- When multiple cards are marked, determine the focused card. Each clue only has one focused card.
- Logically playable cards are marked at the earliest opportunity, so the leftmost card is assumed to be the focus of play clues (where no other cards are known to be playable).
Triggering the final round
- Sometimes a specific player should draw the last card to maximise the score.
- Giving empty clues (e.g. "you have no red card") can help to manage which player draws last card.
Last card example
cards in the deck1 red5 yellow5 green3 blue4 white5
red3yellow1green1blue5,with a blue5clue, Bob 🡲 green2red1green4,with a green4clue,green5,with a green5clue, Cathy 🡲
- Alice and Bob both give empty clues e.g. "to Cathy: you have no white card".
- Cathy plays green4 and draws the last card.
- Alice discards, Bob plays blue5 and Cathy plays green5.
Skip
- When a player gives a clue that could have been given by one of the skipped players, it means the skipped players have a better move than to give the clue that was used to skip.
- Skipping should be avoided unless there is a good reason.
A bad skip / steal
- Alice skips Bob to clue Cathy red.
red yellow3 green3 blue3 white3 red2yellow1white1blue3 Alice 🡲 blue1yellow5white5blue4 Bob 🡲 red1,with a redclue,white4white4white3 Cathy 🡲
- If Alice discarded instead, Bob would have clued Alice red to finesse red1 and red2.
Potential reasons for skipping players:
- Clue-giver is locked i.e. all cards are marked without any immediate plays.
- Gain tempo to play e.g. skipped player(s) all have playable cards.
- Gain tempo to clue e.g. skipped player(s) must give a fix clue.
- Avoid a bad clue e.g. mark cards with good touch.
- Ensure a good clue e.g. mark cards with good touch.
- Cause a discard e.g. of a playable card so that its copy can be marked with good touch, or of trash.
- Avoid a discard e.g. a double discard, or of nice-to-have (non-unique) cards.
A good skip example 1
red1 yellow1 green1 blue1 white1
white1yellow2,with a 2clue,white2,with a 2clue,red2,with a 2clue, Bob 🡲 white2red1blue2green1 Cathy 🡲
- Alice skips Bob to give Cathy a blue clue so that a duplicate white2 is not marked.
A good skip example 2
red1 yellow1 green1 blue1 white1
white1yellow2,with a 2clue,white2,with a 2clue,red2,with a 2clue, Bob 🡲 yellow4white2red1blue2 Cathy 🡲
- Alice skips Bob to give Cathy a blue clue because Bob has let let blue2 reach chop and does not want to mark it because he might hold a copy.
Additional interpretation
An additional finesse convention is that skipped player(s) cannot discard.
- i.e. Alice can clue Cathy only if Bob has a play or should give another clue.
- If a skipped player has no marked playable cards and no good clue to give, they can blind play their newest, unmarked card.
- A clue-giver who causes unmarked play(s) purely from a skip is responsible for any misinterpretation.
Skipped players cannot discard example 1
- Alice skips Bob to give Cathy a 1 clue.
red yellow green blue white yellow1yellow2white2red2 Bob 🡲 white2red1,with a 1clue,blue2red4 Cathy 🡲
- Bob has no clue to give and no known play, so he blind plays his newest unmarked card.
- yellow1 does not connect to 1, so Cathy interprets Bob's move as a skip play and plays red1.
Skipped players cannot discard example 2: bluff
- Alice to Cathy: this card is red.
red1 yellow1 green1 blue white blue1yellow2white2red2 Bob 🡲 yellow4red3,with a redclue,white3blue2 Cathy 🡲
- Cathy now knows her marked card red3 is playable.
- Bob does not see the connecting red2, so assumes he has to play it now.
- Bob does not have a marked card that could be red2, so Bob blind plays his newest unmarked card.
- blue1 successfully plays and the bluff is revealed.
- Before Bob played, Cathy thought her marked card was red2.
- After Bob plays, Cathy knows her marked card is any valuable red (red3, red4 or red5).
Skipped players cannot discard example 3: lie i.e. don't do this
Alice skips Bob to give Cathy a 3 clue.
red2 yellow green blue white yellow1yellow2white2red2 Bob 🡲 white2red3,with a 3clue,blue2red4 Cathy 🡲
- Bob has no clue to give and no known play, so he blind plays his newest unmarked card.
- In this convention, yellow1 does not connect to 3, so Cathy interprets as a bluff and her 3 is not playable.
- This is a lie because red3 is playable.
- Instead, Alice should have discarded and allowed Bob to clue Cathy so that she knows her red3 is playable.
2 Player strategy
Basic
- Marked cards are not discarded.
- Unique cards are saved.
- Saves are given as late as possible.
- Play clue focus is the leftmost card.
- All known playable cards are played before discarding (including 5s with flamboyants).
- Marked trash cards are corrected.
Intermediate
- Playable first copies are clued.
- Playable cards marked with both colour and number will play first.
- Last 1clue tokens is only used to mark a unique or playable chop.
- Off-chop saves for consecutive unique cards.
- Double discards can be avoided with a stall clue.
- empty clue
- splash that marks no new cards
- Cards are played in clued order.
- Plays that lead to other plays are prioritised.
- Lower ranked cards are prioritised.
- Unique cards are splashed.
- Black Powder: black powder1 is only marked on chop unless all other 1s (or black powder2) are already played.
Advanced
- Number clues that mark a non-unique chop are play clues.
- e.g. with no 3s discarded, play the left 3.
- Black Powder: 5s are marked with a playable black powder5 on chop. In a following turn the 5 to the left of black powder5 is marked with colour to play black powder5.
- Before playing, a connecting card on chop can be marked.
- Flamboyants: consider not locking a hand with a 5 save.
- Avalanche: any card can be multicolor.
- i.e. wait for negative multicolor on a red5 before playing as red5.
- Scream discard = save the chop card (and move chop one slot to the left).
- 1-away from playable cards are splashed.
- Trash cards are discarded before being splashed.
- Already-marked trash cards are splashed.
- An early game marked 4 may be discarded.
- Black Powder: avoid discarding after an early game black powder1 or 5 save to allow for consecutive black powder1 and colour 5 saves.
Early game
- At least 3clue tokens are used before the first discard.
- Black Powder: black powder5 is marked first if it is the leftmost 5.
- 2s are marked next.
- Black Powder: black powder4 is marked if there are no other 4s.
- 1s are marked next.
- With multiple marked unknown 1s in your hand, consider first playing your 1s or marking 1s individually with colour.
Alternative strategy
- Any card may be saved, including non-unique cards.
- Cards marked with a number are only splashed with colour:
- If a previously unmarked card is playable.
- As a stall clue.
Clued misplay example
red1 yellow3 green3 blue3 white3
blue1red1blue2red4red5 Bob 🡲 Discarded: red4
- There are no misfires.
- Alice needs to save red5 and red4.
- Alice to Bob: these 3 cards are red.
red1 yellow3 green3 blue3 white3 blue1red1,with a redclue,blue2red4,with a redclue,red5,with a redclue, Bob 🡲 Discarded: red4
- Bob misfires red1 as red2.
- Bob interprets this as a clued misplay to save the remaining red cards.
Scream discard example
red1 yellow4 green2 blue2 white2
card backcard backcard backcard backcard back5,with a 5clue, Alice 🡲 yellow1green5blue5white5,with a 5clue,red5,with a 5clue, Bob 🡲
- There are 0clue tokens but Alice needs to save blue5 and green5.
- Alice discards her chop + 1 = 3rd slot while she has yellow5 to play.
- Bob expected Alice to play their known playable card.
- Bob knows Alice could have discarded her chop to save his chop.
- Bob interprets Alice's move as moving his chop two places from his 3rd slot to 1st slot.
- Bob now has two unmarked unique cards saved and discards yellow1.
Positional misplay example
red1 yellow3 green3 blue3 white3
red1red2red3,with a red3clue,red4,with a red4clue,red5,with a red5clue, Bob 🡲
- There are 0clue tokens and no misfires.
- Alice really wants red2 to play so that Bob can play all his marked cards.
- Alice blind plays her second slot and causes a misfire.
- Bob interprets this as a clue for him to play the same position in his hand.
Splash correction example
red3 yellow2 green2 blue2 white2
red4red3,with a 3clue,white3,with a 3clue,blue3,with a 3clue,blue5,with a 5clue, Bob 🡲
- Alice to Bob: these 2 cards are red.
red3 yellow2 green2 blue2 white2 red4,with a redclue,red3,with a red3clue,white3,with a 3clue,blue3,with a 3clue,blue5,with a 5clue, Bob 🡲
- This marks red4 as playable and splashes red3 so that Bob knows it is trash.
Self prompt example
red yellow green blue white
card backcard backcard backcard backcard back1,with a clue, Alice 🡲 white4yellow4green4green4red2,with a redclue, Bob 🡲
- Bob to Alice: this card is red ⇨ red1
- Alice to Bob: this card is red ⇨ red2
Advanced moves
Discard clue
- A discard clue marks known trash cards to prevent an unwanted discard (or misfire).
Discard clue example
red1 yellow1 green1 blue1 white1
white1red1white4yellow3 Bob 🡲 Discarded: yellow3white4
- yellow3 and white4 need to be saved.
- If Alice gives a 3 clue, white4 might be discarded.
- Alice gives a 1 clue so that Bob discards red1 and white1 before his chop card.
Play refusal
- Instead of playing, a player clues or discards their chop.
- The next player must consider if the play refusal is waiting for a potential reverse or if there are unique card(s) to save.
Positional Discard
- In the endgame when you can see all remaining playable cards, you can use a positional discard to communicate the slot position in another hand.
- Typically used with 0clue tokens or where trash cards make it awkward to clue the target.
Positional discard example
red5 yellow5 green4 blue5 white5
green5blue2red4blue3 Bob 🡲
- Alice discards slot 1
- Bob plays slot 1 ⇨ green5
Trash bluff
Trash bluff example
- Alice to Cathy: this card is a 1.
red1 yellow1 green1 blue1 white blue2yellow4green4red4 Bob 🡲 red1,with a 1clue,white2red2yellow5 Cathy 🡲
- Bob must act now to prevent a misfire of red1.
- Bob blind plays blue2.
- Cathy knows Bob would not blind play for a playable 1, so Cathy now knows that her 1 is trash and this was a trash bluff.
Finesse bluff
- If the following two players both have a playable finesse position, you may be able to perform a finesse bluff.
- The first blind play connects to the target.
- The second blind play does not connect to the target.
Finesse bluff example
- Alice to Donald: this card is white.
red yellow green blue white white1yellow4green4blue4 Bob 🡲 red1white4green4green3 Cathy 🡲 red4white3,with a whiteclue,yellow3blue2 Donald 🡲
- Bob blind plays white1.
- Donald now thinks his white card is white2.
- Cathy must act now to prevent a misfire of white3.
- Cathy blind plays red1.
- With two blind plays, Donald now knows his white is white3 and this was a finesse bluff.
Double bluff
- If the following two players both have a playable finesse position, you may be able to perform a double bluff.
Double bluff example
- Alice can bluff Bob's white1 with a blue clue to Donald.
- Instead: Alice to Donald: this card is a 2.
red yellow green blue white white1yellow4green4blue4 Bob 🡲 red1white4green4green3 Cathy 🡲 red3white3yellow3blue2,with a 2clue, Donald 🡲
- Bob blind plays white1
- Without colour, Donald thinks his 2 is white2.
- Cathy must act now to prevent a misfire of blue2.
- Cathy blind plays red1.
- With two blind plays, Donald now knows his 2 is not white2 or red2 and this was a double bluff.
Promise bluff
This move only applies to 1-away-from-playable bluff interpretations.
- Promise bluffs give more information than regular bluffs, as they promise the necessary connecting cards to make the clued bluff target 1-away-from-playable. These connecting cards must be either marked or unmarked in finesse position.
Promise bluff example
- Alice to Cathy: this card is white.
red1 yellow1 green1 blue1 white1 blue2white3green4red4 Bob 🡲 red1white4,with a whiteclue,red2yellow5 Cathy 🡲
- Bob must act now to prevent a misfire of white4.
- Bob blind plays blue2 and the bluff is revealed.
- Cathy sees Bob's white3 was in finesse position behind blue2, so now knows that her marked card is either white4 or white3.
- Bob knows that for the bluff target to be a valid 1-away-from playable, he is also promised white3 in his slot 2.
Empty clue double save
- With not enough clue tokens or turns to save consecutive unique cards, an empty clue can save two chop cards.
Double save example
red2 yellow1 green2 blue2 white1
card backcard back2,with a 2clue,card backcard back Alice 🡲 blue2red2green4yellow3 Bob 🡲 Discarded: yellow3green4
- yellow3 and green4 need to be saved.
- If Alice gives a 3 clue, green4 might be discarded.
- A 2 clue will cause a misfire of blue2.
- Alice gives an empty clue (e.g. 1 or 5 or white).
- Bob knows that if Alice did not play her white2, this empty clue must mean something.
- Bob does not have a playable card and knows Alice could have saved his chop card with this clue token.
- Bob interprets this as 'do not discard two chop cards' and discards red2.
