Tips bottleimp

Before the Round

• Pass low cards to your neighbors and pay attention to which cards you exchange with whom.
• Consider getting rid of an entire suit to have more options during play.
• Watch which suits your neighbors frequently pass.

During Tricks

• Play cards just below the Bottle Imp's starting value early, before its value drops.
• Play low cards when they cannot win the Bottle Imp. This is safe if a higher card below its current value has already been played.
• Don't put too many points into a seemingly safe trick. A very low card can still win the Bottle Imp.
• Keep track of played cards to judge when it is safe to play low cards.
