Wiki formatting

==Purpose==

''This page was created as a result of the [https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=23790 Wiki style guide] forum thread.''

<span style="font-size:larger;">Most wiki ('''doc.'''BoardGameArena.com) formatting is not preserved on BoardGameArena, but there are some workarounds.
This page is a collection of unofficial tips on how to make wiki pages display well in-game and on game panels.</span>

Feel free to add additional issues, advice and '''[[#Templates]]''' 🙂

'''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Help:Formatting]'''

Note: Wiki page changes have been said to be [https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33914#p33914 updated once per day] on BoardGameArena. (That may be outdated, it seems maybe once per hour now.)

==Languages==

Wiki page content displays:
# User's '''[https://boardgamearena.com/preferences?section=lang language]''', else
# English, else
# ''Create this page'' link/button.

e.g. A Chinese user reads the Jump Drive rules summary on its game panel page, ''displayed in English'' ('''en'''.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelpjumpdrive) because the Chinese ('''zh'''.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelpjumpdrive) page does not exist.
The user sees a typo in the English rules and selects the ''edit page'' link to correct it, but the Chinese wiki's ''create page'' is displayed instead.

====Bug reports====

* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=102754 Link for editing is misleading]'''

* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=117297 Templates and some format don't work in other language]'''

'''Markers''' (bullets <code>*</code>, numbering <code>#</code>), '''margins''' and '''padding''' are removed on BoardGameArena.

====Bug reports====

===Workarounds===

# Use static markers (<code>•</code>,<code>-</code>,<code>1.</code>).
# Replace with [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML HTML] + [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS CSS].

¹Dynamic markers generate HTML list structure.

²Without dynamic markers, <code><nowiki><p></nowiki></code>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/p paragraphs]<code><nowiki></p></nowiki></code> are generated which require line breaks before and after the "list" to prevent merging into surrounding paragraphs.

==Headings==

Level 1 (h1) headings are the title of the page e.g. <code>= Wiki formatting =</code>, <code>= Gamehelp[name] =</code>, <code>= Tips_[name] =</code>.

===Issues===

# In-game h2 and h3 headings are visually indistinguishable.
# In-game h3 headings overlap text from the previous section.
# h5 headings and below are visually indistinguishable from body text.
# Inconsistency between in-game and game panel headings.

====Bug reports====

* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=86652 h2/h3 headings not nested]'''
* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=71867 Section headings overlapping text]'''

===Workarounds===

Since in-game h3 headings became indistinguishable from h2 headings:
* Change h3 to h4 headings.
* Use additional line breaks before h3 headings.

In-game content appears in multiple boxes:

}}

==Links==

'''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links Help:Links]'''

* The '''[[Main_Page]]''' (root) of this wiki redirects to '''[[Help]]'''.
* '''[https://BoardGameArena.com/doc BoardGameArena.com/doc]''' displays the '''[[Help]]''' index of games.
* Note: each heading has a unique id appended with a number as necessary.
*: e.g. [[#Issues_3]] links to Links Issues and [[#Issues_4]] links to Images Issues.

===Issues===

# '''Links to section headings <code>#</code>''' do not work outside of the wiki ('''doc.'''BoardGameArena.com).
# URL is resolved to <code>/doc</code> instead of the current page.
# In-game links navigate the user away from the game.

e.g. <code><nowiki>[[#Section_heading_link]]</nowiki></code> ⇨ https://BoardGameArena.com/doc#Section_heading_link ¹.

====Bug reports====

* ¹'''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=88292 Section links don't work]'''

===Workarounds===

# Remove links that do not function as expected.

==Images==

'''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images Help:Images]'''

===Issues===

# Resized images do not display on BoardGameArena.
#: e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg</nowiki>'''|300px'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> because the ''resized'' image does not exist in the referenced directory.
# Thumbnails images do not display on BoardGameArena.
#: e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg</nowiki>'''|thumb'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> because thumbnails are just resized images.
# Image links do not work on BoardGameArena.
#: e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Versions.png</nowiki>'''|link=https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> because the link resolves to <code>https://boardgamearena.com/dochttps://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg</code>

===Workarounds===

# '''[[Special:Upload|Upload]]''' '''''YourImage''''' with the size it will appear and include the image as simply:
#: e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
# Create a <code>[[#Create_your_own_icons|<nowiki>{{gameIcon}}</nowiki>]]</code> with a <code>scale</code> factor.
#: e.g. <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''YourIcon'''|scale='''0.5'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> to reduce the image dimensions by ½.
# Replace image links with regular links.
#: e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Versions.png]]</nowiki></code>
#: <code><nowiki>[https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg LinkText]</nowiki></code>

===Tips===

# Optionally include rollover text <code><nowiki>[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg</nowiki>'''|Example move'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>

# Borders do not display on BoardGameArena.
# Headers (<code><nowiki><th></nowiki></code> / <code>!</code>) do not have a distinct style from the table body.
# Text in all cells is centered.

===Workarounds===

# <code>style="width:auto;"</code> fits column width to the contents.
# <code>border="2"</code> creates table cell borders.
# <code>style="background:#ccd4;font-weight:bold;"|</code> styles headers.
# <code>style="text-align:left;"|</code> aligns text to the left. ''Note: this must be applied to each individual cell to override BGA's center alignment.''

Sammy McSam: Template:goBoard update

BoardGameArena uses the [https://www.usgo.org/aga-concise-rules-go American Go Association]'s rules for this adaptation.

For tips on how to play go, see <b>[[Tips_classicgo|Tips_ClassicGo]]</b>

==Basic rules==

A summary loosely based on "[http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/element.html The Rules and Elements of Go]" (1977) by James Davies:

#Black moves first.
#Black and White alternate placing one stone of their own colour on an empty intersection on the board.
#A stone or connected group of stones of one colour is captured and removed from the board when stones of the opposite colour occupy all the intersections directly adjacent to it.
#Only cardinally adjacent intersections connected by grid lines matter when considering whether stones are connected, and when considering whether a group of stones is captured. Diagonals and intersections 2+ away do not count.
#Any move that results in the immediate capture of the placed stone is not allowed (self-capture).
#Capture of the opponent takes precedence over self-capture: placing a stone into a position where it would be immediately captured is allowed if the move captures opposing stones. (See '''Fig. 1''' below)
#No stone may be played so as to recreate a former board position. If a stone is played anywhere else on the board, this creates a "different board position" for that player's next turn. (See '''Fig. 2''' below)
#A player may pass their turn at any time.
#Two consecutive passes end the game. All "dead" stones that inevitably can be captured are removed from the board at this time. If players cannot agree whether a group of stones is dead or not, play will resume to determine the status of the group.
#The player with more area at the end of the game wins. A player's area consists of all grid intersections they have either occupied or surrounded in their colour. Score can also be counted by territory: intersections surrounded + prisoner stones captured.

==Tiebreaker and first move compensation==
If players have equal points at end of game, then white wins by +0.5 points. White is sometimes given additional points as ''komi'' to compensate for going second (see ''Komi and handicaps'' under ''Game options'' below).

==Game options==

===Grid size===

Game board size. Available values are:
<div style="display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap; gap:0.5rem;">
<div>9x9{{goBoard|size9= |squareSize=10 |starSize=3 |hideNotation=}}</div>
<div>13x13{{goBoard|size13= |squareSize=10 |starSize=3 |hideNotation=}}</div>
<div>19x19{{goBoard |squareSize=10 |starSize=3 |hideNotation=}}</div>
</div>
9x9 is a shorter game and recommended for beginners.

===Method of counting===
Method for counting the score. Options are:

*Japanese (territory scoring: each surrounded intersection is worth one point, and each stone captured from an opponent is worth one point)
*Chinese (area scoring: each surrounded intersection is worth one point, and each stone of your colour remaining on the board at the end of the game is worth one point)

If AGA Rules are on (See "AGA Rules" below), no matter which counting method is used, the difference between the two players' scores, and the game result, is the same (territory scoring gives points when a player captures stones, and area scoring takes away points when a player's stones are captured).

Some people find area/Chinese scoring more intuitive. Territory/Japanese scoring is faster to mentally check during a game, but beginners usually do not need to count score in the middle of a game.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig 3. Regions left uncounted</b>

There are situations (Japanese seki) in which a region of empty points is left at the end of the game which is not entirely surrounded by stones of a single colour, and which neither player would fill because to do so would lead to the capture of their own stones.

===Komi and handicaps===

Komi are extra points given to White to compensate for Black's first move advantage. An even game for strong players is around 7 komi points on all board sizes.

A game may be played with a handicap to compensate for differences in player strengths. On BGA, the administrator of the table plays White, and the other player plays Black. The stronger player in a handicap game should create the table and play White. With "Handicap: 1 stone," Black moves first, and gives only 0.5 compensation points to White (to break ties). With the other handicap options, Black begins the game with 2 to 9 stones on predefined intersections, White gets only 0.5 compensation points, and White moves first.

Options are:

* Without komi (without compensation)
* Normal komi (4 points for 19x19 and 5 points for 9x9, 13x13)
* Big komi (for strong players: 7 points for 9x9, 13x13, 19x19)
* Handicap: 1 stone
* Handicap: 2 stones
* Handicap: 3 stones
* Handicap: 4 stones
* Handicap: 5 stones
* Handicap: 6 stones
* Handicap: 7 stones
* Handicap: 8 stones
* Handicap: 9 stones

===AGA Rules===

A yes/no option for using the American Go Association rules. AGA rules specify that a player who passes must give the opponent one point, and that White must pass last at the end of the game (passing a third consecutive time if necessary). This ensures that area/Chinese counting and territory/Japanese counting always give exactly the same result. If AGA rules are turned off, playing a stone within your own territory loses one point under territory/Japanese counting, but does not affect the score in area/Chinese counting.

When set to "No", players still pay one point for passing when playing out after the end of the game to determine the life/death status of disputed groups.

== Gameplay ==

This capture variant of <b>[[Gamehelpgomoku|Gomoku]]</b> is played on a <b>[[Gamehelpclassicgo|Go]]</b> board.

Players alternate turns placing a stone of their colour on an empty intersection. White plays first.
<div style="display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">{{blackStone}}{{whiteStone}}</div>

Players can capture a pair of their opponent's stones by placing one of their stones on either side of the pair lengthwise.

== Options ==

This BGA implementation supports a plethora of variants and player preference options.

== FAQ on variant options ==

Since various options can be combined with each other, here is an FAQ section to clarify rules implemented on BGA.

=== Overline ===

'Overlines allowed but do not win' option is removed, since it may lead the game into too many edge cases.

For example, when overline win is not allowed a game may end as a draw or even a defeat for the turn player.

If a player captures a stone at the end of the opponent's overline and creates a winning line, then the opponent fulfills the winning condition and can win the game.

[[File:Penteoverline.png]]

Putting a black stone on red circled intersection captures the end of White's overline, thus making a winning line for each player and the game will be drawn.

If there were no black 5 in a row, White would have won instead.

=== Self-capture position ===

These rules apply to even teammate's self-captures, so be extra careful in team games with self-capture!

==== Forbidden ====

When inserting stone in self-capture position is forbidden, forbidden move rule takes precedence over capture or win.

[[File:Penteselfcapture1.png]]

In this case, White cannot place stone on red circled intersection even the placement would capture 2 black stones.

This applies even if the placement would reach needed score to win the game or create a winning line.

In other words, that intersection is essentially 'locked' for White.

==== Self-capture ====

Capture three and mixed capture rules are applied to not only normal captures, but also to self-captures.

This makes things much more complex in multiplayer games.

[[File:Penteselfcapture2.png]]

When Red puts a stone on the red circled center while capture three is on, 2 normal captures and 3 self-captures will trigger at the same time.

As a result more than 1 player can lay claim to captured stones except left green stone and right yellow stone, which will be captured by Red.

So, who should take the other stones then?

In current implementation, the contested stones are destroyed into pieces.

In other words, no one scores for those stones and they simply vanish.

Also, self-capture occurs before game end check. Thus, a player cannot create a winning line with a self-capture move.

=== Overtime capture ===

Overtime capture is only possible when the next player can prevent another player winning the game by alignment.

==== Overtime (Line break) ====

Currently, the implementation continues the game when a player aligns 5 or more stones in a row regardless of the situation (unless a player achieves capture win).

Then, the next player must capture (or trigger self-capture, in multiplayer mixed capture + self-capture games) and break all winning lines on the board, or pass the turn and resign.

Reducing overlines into 5 stones in a row is not considered as a legal line break, since 5 in a row still wins the game.

Overtime line break follows table's capture rule settings, unlike overtime line capture which is a special capture rule.

==== Overtime (Line capture) ====

A player may not perform overtime line capture when:

* Another player achieved capture win

* Another player created multiple winning lines

* 2 or more other players satisfied winning condition at the same time

* Both sides of the only winning line are blocked, or open

* The only winning line is blocked on one side but not by the next player's stone, so the next player cannot capture the winning line (in multiplayer games)

Overtime capture is only possible at the next player's turn.

So, inserting a winning line between 2 stones of the next player triggers neither self-capture nor overtime turn when self-capture rule is enabled.

=== No tiebreaker ===

Tiebreaker is not implemented. Every player meeting the winning condition shares the victory.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 1 Openings with Pro rules </b>

Ten example Pro opening rules formations where the recommended third move for white is to create a pair. Also shown (bottom right) are the white 3 stone formations known as the L and the hat.
</div>
</div>

=== Pro opening rules strategies ===

In the Pro opening rules (often known as tournament rules or simply Pente), the first stone of the first player must be placed in the centre of the board. The first stone of the second player may be placed anywhere on the board. The second stone of the first player must be placed at least three intersections away from the first stone.

For the 75 or so (disregarding mirrored positions) [https://pente.org/gameServer/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=27&threadID=4278&tstart=15 most likely opening positions] where black's first stone is adjacent to the central stone, in only about 15% would a master level player be likely to choose to make a pair of adjacent stones on his/her third move (see Pro rules openings '''Fig. 1''' for 10 example formations). In only two or three cases would a master level player be likely to make a pair if black hadn't already made a pair first. This is not to say white can't also win by creating a pair on the third move (either with or without the same second move) in other instances - white has 14 or 15 choices of third moves which form a pair after black's second move. Although some of them likely lose many are likely not explored much. A master level player would be more likely choose to form either an L or a hat shape (see bottom right corner of Pro rules openings '''Fig. 1''') with his/her third stone, because these are commonly accepted white sure-win 3rd moves in these cases and there is little incentive for white to diverge from known winning lines unless possibly to avoid a potential novelty move by black in a live game.

If a pro rules opening is shifted so that an edge (or corner) of the board affects it, then the first player may well need to find an alternative third move to counter black's second stone.

=== Swap opening rules strategies ===

Opening proposals for Swap and Swap2 pente should consider the following principles:

1. White has the advantage of playing first and is therefore the first player capable of making five in a row.

2. Stones which are all located near the centre of the board generally favour white, because they allow room to expand in any direction. Stones placed strategically close to an edge or corner of the board can reduce white's first player advantage by limiting the directions in which white is able to build.

3. If white's stones are placed too far apart from each other and black's stone(s), black can often build potentials and shapes as though s(he) were white, because white will end up with at least one stranded stone which won't affect the game. As an extreme case, consider two white stones in opposite corners of the board with one black stone in the centre. White's stones are both useless for defending against black, and black is essentially the first player with two moves in the centre before white can defend.

4. Unlike in the Pro and Long Pro opening rules, white doesn't have the ability to choose the optimal placement of the second stone for handling black's first stone, so there is no hard and fast rule regarding how near or how far away from each other white's stones can be from each other before a position changes from a sure win for white to a sure win for black. There are definitely some sub-optimal second stone white placements three intersections away from the centre which can result in a first player loss, given an optimal placement of a black stone in the proposal. There may even be some second white stone placements which are closer than three intersections from the centre which don't create a pair with the first stone and yet are still first player losses. On the other hand, certain specific second white stone placements may prevail against certain black stones even though they are as far away from the centre as six intersections. There hasn't been sufficient study of all possible opening proposals with a white stone in the centre of the board to make a general statements such as more proposals with a Long Pro opening for white lose than win for white (although that is likely to be the case) or more proposals with a Pro (or closer) opening for white win than lose for white (also likely to be true).

5. If either player's stones are placed next to each other, they form a pair which can be threatened with a capture, which generally weakens the position for that player.

6. Diagonally aligned stones are generally weaker than horizontally and vertically aligned stones because there are fewer stone placements which create strong shapes available with a diagonal alignment.

7. Any opening proposal will favour one side or the other, so the goal is to find a reasonably balanced position which one is comfortable playing from either side of the board.

== General Strategy ==

What can happen if white doesn't immediately play into the capture at c5 in the illustration below ('''Fig. 2''') is well illustrated by the demonstration of how the [https://web.archive.org/web/20040131001542/www.playpente.com/pawnbroker.html pawnbroker shape] can be used.

=== Differences in Strategies Between Gomoku and Pente ===

Due to overlines not winning in gomoku, there are certain board positions which would be a win for one player in gomoku, but the other player would win in Pente (see '''Fig. 4''' for one example, h/t to [https://pente.org/gameServer/profile?viewName=pente_gon pente.org]). However, a far more common scenario which results in a position which is a win for one player in gomoku and the other player in Pente is the threat to capture a double keystone pair in combination with making a 3 (see '''Fig. 3'''). Ignoring the stone count on the board and just looking at the position after black's move to E6 in '''Fig. 3''', we can see that in gomoku white would win the game, but in Pente black has the win. For an example of how a position like this can arise in a Pente game, see [https://web.archive.org/web/20040131001542/www.playpente.com/pawnbroker.html The Pawnbroker]
Boards illustrating these differences in who wins the game can also be found in [https://pente.org/gameServer/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=27&threadID=232764 this forum thread at pente.org]

There are no draws in Pente unlike in gomoku, so a balanced opening proposal isn't possible for Pente.

Due to the potential for a pair to be captured (or threatened with capture) in Pente, it is frequently the case in Pente that forming an x_x with two stones is a better option than creating an xx pair of stones. However, there are some cases where the creation of a pair of stones is correct in Pente; in general, Pente openings for white where white's best third move involves creating a pair will lead the game towards pair exchanges until white arrives at a favourable stone position after the pair exchanges.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 2 Block into a capture</b>

Unless there is a specific reason (such as a capture, capture threat or an open 3) to block an open 3 on the side opposite a capture (g5), it's better to block on the side of the three where one will be captured (c5).

If white plays to g5, black can play to b5 and force white to play to c5 anyway. Once black captures white's pair at b6, black has two aligned stones with b5 and b6.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 3 The power of captures</b>

White would win in this position in gomoku by playing to B5, but in Pente black is able to threaten a double keystone pair (D5,C4) capture by moving to E6 and at the same time black is creating a 3. White is unable to address both threats.

If white plays to B5 (winning on the next move in gomoku), black can capture at B3, breaking white's open line of 4 and simultaneously opening up 2 fours. If white protects the double keystone pair (D5,C4) by playing at B3 to prevent the capture, then black can play to D7 and win on the next move.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 4 Winning examples</b>

This is an example of a somewhat rare situation where one colour of stone would win in gomoku and the other colour would win in Pente due to six in a row not being a winning formation in gomoku like it is in Pente.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;">
In gomoku, white plays to A4, forcing black to play to B4. This effectively neutralizes one of black's open three threats (E7,F8,G9) because if black creates a four by playing to D6, the stone at B4 creates a non winning six in a row for black if black plays to C5 after white blocks the four at H10. Once black plays to B4, white can safely block black's other open three threat (E9,F8,G7) at H6, which creates a winning threat for white (white plays to G6 and creates two open 3 threats after black blocks white's first open three threat (H6,J7,K9).

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 1 Openings with Pro rules </b>

Ten example Pro opening rules formations where the recommended third move for white is to create a pair. Also shown (bottom right) are the white 3 stone formations known as the L and the hat.
</div>
</div>

=== Pro opening rules strategies ===

In the Pro opening rules (often known as tournament rules or simply Pente), the first stone of the first player must be placed in the centre of the board. The first stone of the second player may be placed anywhere on the board. The second stone of the first player must be placed at least three intersections away from the first stone.

For the 75 or so (disregarding mirrored positions) [https://pente.org/gameServer/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=27&threadID=4278&tstart=15 most likely opening positions] where black's first stone is adjacent to the central stone, in only about 15% would a master level player be likely to choose to make a pair of adjacent stones on his/her third move (see Pro rules openings '''Fig. 1''' for 10 example formations). In only two or three cases would a master level player be likely to make a pair if black hadn't already made a pair first. This is not to say white can't also win by creating a pair on the third move (either with or without the same second move) in other instances - white has 14 or 15 choices of third moves which form a pair after black's second move. Although some of them likely lose many are likely not explored much. A master level player would be more likely choose to form either an L or a hat shape (see bottom right corner of Pro rules openings '''Fig. 1''') with his/her third stone, because these are commonly accepted white sure-win 3rd moves in these cases and there is little incentive for white to diverge from known winning lines unless possibly to avoid a potential novelty move by black in a live game.

If a pro rules opening is shifted so that an edge (or corner) of the board affects it, then the first player may well need to find an alternative third move to counter black's second stone.

=== Swap opening rules strategies ===

Opening proposals for Swap and Swap2 pente should consider the following principles:

1. White has the advantage of playing first and is therefore the first player capable of making five in a row.

2. Stones which are all located near the centre of the board generally favour white, because they allow room to expand in any direction. Stones placed strategically close to an edge or corner of the board can reduce white's first player advantage by limiting the directions in which white is able to build.

3. If white's stones are placed too far apart from each other and black's stone(s), black can often build potentials and shapes as though s(he) were white, because white will end up with at least one stranded stone which won't affect the game. As an extreme case, consider two white stones in opposite corners of the board with one black stone in the centre. White's stones are both useless for defending against black, and black is essentially the first player with two moves in the centre before white can defend.

4. Unlike in the Pro and Long Pro opening rules, white doesn't have the ability to choose the optimal placement of the second stone for handling black's first stone, so there is no hard and fast rule regarding how near or how far away from each other white's stones can be from each other before a position changes from a sure win for white to a sure win for black. There are definitely some sub-optimal second stone white placements three intersections away from the centre which can result in a first player loss, given an optimal placement of a black stone in the proposal. There may even be some second white stone placements which are closer than three intersections from the centre which don't create a pair with the first stone and yet are still first player losses. On the other hand, certain specific second white stone placements may prevail against certain black stones even though they are as far away from the centre as six intersections. There hasn't been sufficient study of all possible opening proposals with a white stone in the centre of the board to make a general statements such as more proposals with a Long Pro opening for white lose than win for white (although that is likely to be the case) or more proposals with a Pro (or closer) opening for white win than lose for white (also likely to be true).

5. If either player's stones are placed next to each other, they form a pair which can be threatened with a capture, which generally weakens the position for that player.

6. Diagonally aligned stones are generally weaker than horizontally and vertically aligned stones because there are fewer stone placements which create strong shapes available with a diagonal alignment.

7. Any opening proposal will favour one side or the other, so the goal is to find a reasonably balanced position which one is comfortable playing from either side of the board.

== General Strategy ==

What can happen if white doesn't immediately play into the capture at c5 in the illustration below ('''Fig. 2''') is well illustrated by the demonstration of how the [https://web.archive.org/web/20040131001542/www.playpente.com/pawnbroker.html pawnbroker shape] can be used.

[https://pente.org/gameServer/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=27&threadID=4553&tstart=0 Pente for dummies thread at pente.org]

=== Differences in Strategies Between Gomoku and Pente ===

Due to overlines not winning in gomoku, there are certain board positions which would be a win for one player in gomoku, but the other player would win in Pente (see '''Fig. 4''' for one example, h/t to [https://pente.org/gameServer/profile?viewName=pente_gon pente.org]). However, a far more common scenario which results in a position which is a win for one player in gomoku and the other player in Pente is the threat to capture a double keystone pair in combination with making a 3 (see '''Fig. 3'''). Ignoring the stone count on the board and just looking at the position after black's move to E6 in '''Fig. 3''', we can see that in gomoku white would win the game, but in Pente black has the win. For an example of how a position like this can arise in a Pente game, see [https://web.archive.org/web/20040131001542/www.playpente.com/pawnbroker.html The Pawnbroker]
Boards illustrating these differences in who wins the game can also be found in [https://pente.org/gameServer/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=27&threadID=232764 this forum thread at pente.org]

There are no draws in Pente unlike in gomoku, so a balanced opening proposal isn't possible for Pente.

Due to the potential for a pair to be captured (or threatened with capture) in Pente, it is frequently the case in Pente that forming an x_x with two stones is a better option than creating an xx pair of stones. However, there are some cases where the creation of a pair of stones is correct in Pente; in general, Pente openings for white where white's best third move involves creating a pair will lead the game towards pair exchanges until white arrives at a favourable stone position after the pair exchanges.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 2 Block into a capture</b>

Unless there is a specific reason (such as a capture, capture threat or an open 3) to block an open 3 on the side opposite a capture (g5), it's better to block on the side of the three where one will be captured (c5).

If white plays to g5, black can play to b5 and force white to play to c5 anyway. Once black captures white's pair at b6, black has two aligned stones with b5 and b6.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 3 The power of captures</b>

White would win in this position in gomoku by playing to B5, but in Pente black is able to threaten a double keystone pair (D5,C4) capture by moving to E6 and at the same time black is creating a 3. White is unable to address both threats.

<div style="padding:1.5rem;">
If white plays to B5 (winning on the next move in gomoku), black can capture at B3, breaking white's open line of 4 and simultaneously opening up 2 fours. If white protects the double keystone pair (D5,C4) by playing at B3 to prevent the capture, then black can play to D7 and win on the next move.
</div>
</div>
<div style="display:flex; flex-flow: column nowrap; width:min-content; height:max-content; background:#8882; border-radius:0.5rem;">
<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig. 4 Winning examples</b>

This is an example of a somewhat rare situation where one colour of stone would win in gomoku and the other colour would win in Pente due to six in a row not being a winning formation in gomoku like it is in Pente.

</div>
<div style="padding:1.5rem;">
In gomoku, white plays to A4, forcing black to play to B4. This effectively neutralizes one of black's open three threats (E7,F8,G9) because if black creates a four by playing to D6, the stone at B4 creates a non winning six in a row for black if black plays to C5 after white blocks the four at H10. Once black plays to B4, white can safely block black's other open three threat (E9,F8,G7) at H6, which creates a winning threat for white (white plays to G6 and creates two open 3 threats after black blocks white's first open three threat (H6,J7,K9).

Sammy McSam: translucent background color for dark mode

BoardGameArena uses the [https://www.usgo.org/aga-concise-rules-go American Go Association]'s rules for this adaptation.

For tips on how to play go, see <b>[[Tips_classicgo|Tips_ClassicGo]]</b>

==Basic rules==

A summary loosely based on "[http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/element.html The Rules and Elements of Go]" (1977) by James Davies:

#Black moves first.
#Black and White alternate placing one stone of their own colour on an empty intersection on the board.
#A stone or connected group of stones of one colour is captured and removed from the board when stones of the opposite colour occupy all the intersections directly adjacent to it.
#Only cardinally adjacent intersections connected by grid lines matter when considering whether stones are connected, and when considering whether a group of stones is captured. Diagonals and intersections 2+ away do not count.
#Any move that results in the immediate capture of the placed stone is not allowed (self-capture).
#Capture of the opponent takes precedence over self-capture: placing a stone into a position where it would be immediately captured is allowed if the move captures opposing stones. (See '''Fig. 1''' below)
#No stone may be played so as to recreate a former board position. If a stone is played anywhere else on the board, this creates a "different board position" for that player's next turn. (See '''Fig. 2''' below)
#A player may pass their turn at any time.
#Two consecutive passes end the game. All "dead" stones that inevitably can be captured are removed from the board at this time. If players cannot agree whether a group of stones is dead or not, play will resume to determine the status of the group.
#The player with more area at the end of the game wins. A player's area consists of all grid intersections they have either occupied or surrounded in their colour. Score can also be counted by territory: intersections surrounded + prisoner stones captured.

==Tiebreaker and first move compensation==
If players have equal points at end of game, then white wins by +0.5 points. White is sometimes given additional points as ''komi'' to compensate for going second (see ''Komi and handicaps'' under ''Game options'' below).

==Game options==

===Grid size===

Game board size. Available values are:
<div style="display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap; gap:0.5rem;">
<div>9x9{{goboard9 | squareSize=10 | starSize=3 | hideNotation=}}</div>
<div>13x13{{goboard13 | squareSize=10 | starSize=3 | hideNotation=}}</div>
<div>19x19{{goboard19 | squareSize=10 | starSize=3 | hideNotation=}}</div>
</div>
9x9 is a shorter game and recommended for beginners.

===Method of counting===
Method for counting the score. Options are:

*Japanese (territory scoring: each surrounded intersection is worth one point, and each stone captured from an opponent is worth one point)
*Chinese (area scoring: each surrounded intersection is worth one point, and each stone of your colour remaining on the board at the end of the game is worth one point)

If AGA Rules are on (See "AGA Rules" below), no matter which counting method is used, the difference between the two players' scores, and the game result, is the same (territory scoring gives points when a player captures stones, and area scoring takes away points when a player's stones are captured).

Some people find area/Chinese scoring more intuitive. Territory/Japanese scoring is faster to mentally check during a game, but beginners usually do not need to count score in the middle of a game.

<div style="display:flex; flex-flow: row wrap; width:min-content; background:#8882; border-radius:0.5rem; align-content:flex-start; margin:1rem;">
<div style="padding:1.5rem;"><b>Fig 3. Regions left uncounted</b>

There are situations (Japanese seki) in which a region of empty points is left at the end of the game which is not entirely surrounded by stones of a single colour, and which neither player would fill because to do so would lead to the capture of their own stones.

===Komi and handicaps===

Komi are extra points given to White to compensate for Black's first move advantage. An even game for strong players is around 7 komi points on all board sizes.

A game may be played with a handicap to compensate for differences in player strengths. On BGA, the administrator of the table plays White, and the other player plays Black. The stronger player in a handicap game should create the table and play White. With "Handicap: 1 stone," Black moves first, and gives only 0.5 compensation points to White (to break ties). With the other handicap options, Black begins the game with 2 to 9 stones on predefined intersections, White gets only 0.5 compensation points, and White moves first.

Options are:

* Without komi (without compensation)
* Normal komi (4 points for 19x19 and 5 points for 9x9, 13x13)
* Big komi (for strong players: 7 points for 9x9, 13x13, 19x19)
* Handicap: 1 stone
* Handicap: 2 stones
* Handicap: 3 stones
* Handicap: 4 stones
* Handicap: 5 stones
* Handicap: 6 stones
* Handicap: 7 stones
* Handicap: 8 stones
* Handicap: 9 stones

===AGA Rules===

A yes/no option for using the American Go Association rules. AGA rules specify that a player who passes must give the opponent one point, and that White must pass last at the end of the game (passing a third consecutive time if necessary). This ensures that area/Chinese counting and territory/Japanese counting always give exactly the same result. If AGA rules are turned off, playing a stone within your own territory loses one point under territory/Japanese counting, but does not affect the score in area/Chinese counting.

When set to "No", players still pay one point for passing when playing out after the end of the game to determine the life/death status of disputed groups.

=== Overline ===

'Overlines allowed but do not win' option is removed, since it may lead the game into too many edge cases.

For example, when overline win is not allowed a game may end as a draw or even a defeat for the turn player.

If a player captures a stone at the end of the opponent's overline and creates a winning line, then the opponent fulfills the winning condition and can win the game.

[[File:Penteoverline.png]]

Putting a black stone on red circled intersection captures the end of White's overline, thus making a winning line for each player and the game will be drawn.

If there were no black 5 in a row, White would have won instead.

=== Self-capture position ===

These rules apply to even teammate's self-captures, so be extra careful in team games with self-capture!

==== Forbidden ====

When inserting stone in self-capture position is forbidden, forbidden move rule takes precedence over capture or win.

[[File:Penteselfcapture1.png]]

In this case, White cannot place stone on red circled intersection even the placement would capture 2 black stones.

This applies even if the placement would reach needed score to win the game or create a winning line.

In other words, that intersection is essentially 'locked' for White.

==== Self-capture ====

Capture three and mixed capture rules are applied to not only normal captures, but also to self-captures.

This makes things much more complex in multiplayer games.

[[File:Penteselfcapture2.png]]

When Red puts a stone on the red circled center while capture three is on, 2 normal captures and 3 self-captures will trigger at the same time.

As a result more than 1 player can lay claim to captured stones except left green stone and right yellow stone, which will be captured by Red.

So, who should take the other stones then?

In current implementation, the contested stones are destroyed into pieces.

In other words, no one scores for those stones and they simply vanish.

Also, self-capture occurs before game end check. Thus, a player cannot create a winning line with a self-capture move.

=== Overtime capture ===

Overtime capture is only possible when the next player can prevent another player winning the game by alignment.

==== Overtime (Line break) ====

Currently, the implementation continues the game when a player aligns 5 or more stones in a row regardless of the situation (unless a player achieves capture win).

Then, the next player must capture (or trigger self-capture, in multiplayer mixed capture + self-capture games) and break all winning lines on the board, or pass the turn and resign.

Reducing overlines into 5 stones in a row is not considered as a legal line break, since 5 in a row still wins the game.

Overtime line break follows table's capture rule settings, unlike overtime line capture which is a special capture rule.

==== Overtime (Line capture) ====

A player may not perform overtime line capture when:

* Another player achieved capture win

* Another player created multiple winning lines

* 2 or more other players satisfied winning condition at the same time

* Both sides of the only winning line are blocked, or open

* The only winning line is blocked on one side but not by the next player's stone, so the next player cannot capture the winning line (in multiplayer games)

Overtime capture is only possible at the next player's turn.

So, inserting a winning line between 2 stones of the next player triggers neither self-capture nor overtime turn when self-capture rule is enabled.

=== No tiebreaker ===

Tiebreaker is not implemented. Every player meeting the winning condition shares the victory.

Sammy McSam: /* Setup */ translucent background color for dark mode

[[Category:Card games]]
== Objective ==
The objective is for players to have the '''lowest value''' of the cards in front of them by either '''swapping''' them for lesser value cards or by '''pairing''' them up with cards of equal rank.

== Setup ==
{|class="wikitable" style="max-width:50rem;text-align:left;" border="2"
!style="text-align:left;"|Option
!style="text-align:left;"|Values
!style="text-align:left;" colspan="2"|Description
|-
|rowspan="3"|Number of grid cards
|4
|colspan="2"|Arrange 4 dealt cards in a square and peek 2 cards. Use 1 deck. Closing ends a round. When players replace a card on their board with a newly drawn card, they are placed face down.
|-
|style="box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 0.1rem #0f0;background:#0f04;"|6
|colspan="2"|Arrange 6 dealt cards in 2x3 grid and flip 2 cards. Use 1 deck in 2/3/4/5-player and 2 decks in 6/7/8-player. Completing a full face up grid ends a round.
|-
|9
|colspan="2"|Arrange 9 dealt cards in a square and flip 3 cards. Use 1 deck in 2/3-player, 2 decks in 4/5/6-player and 3 decks in 7/8-player. Completing a full face up grid ends a round.
|-
|rowspan="2"|Card power
|On
|rowspan="2" colspan="2"|If a card with power is drawn from the deck, it can either be used as a normal card or be discarded to use its power.
* {{card|J}} ⇨ peek at one of your face down cards.
* {{card|Q}} ⇨ peek at one of your opponent's face down cards.
* {{card|K}} ⇨ swap any two cards.

|-
|style="box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 0.1rem #0f0;background:#0f04;"|Off
|}<div style="box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 0.1rem #0f0;background:#0f04;padding:0.2em 0.5rem;width:max-content;text-align:left;">Default selection</div>

Six cards are dealt face down to each player in two rows and three columns:

{{cardBack}} {{cardBack}} {{cardBack}}

{{cardBack}} {{cardBack}} {{cardBack}}

== Game play (6 card variant) ==

* Each player flips two of their cards face up.
* The player on the dealer's left starts.
* Players take turns drawing a single card from either the face down deck or the top card of the face up discard pile.
* If the card is '''swapped''' for one of the face down cards, the card swapped in remains '''face up'''.

* The round ends when a player (the "closer") has all their cards face up.
* Every other player has one more turn, after which all cards are turned face up.

== Scoring ==
{|class="wikitable" style="width:auto;text-align:center;" border="2"
|-
!Card
|{{card|A}}
|{{card|2}}
|{{card|3}} ~ {{card|10}}
|{{card|J}} , {{card|Q}}
|{{card|K}}
|-
!Points
|'''1'''
|'''-2'''
|3 ~ 10
|'''10'''
|'''0'''
|}

* Add up all the values of face up cards.
* Any column or row of the same rank cancels out to zero.
* A 2x2 square of equal cards scores -20 points, ignoring normal card scores (even if the equal cards are bonus point cards).

{{infoBox
|title=Example
|body=<center>
{{spade|K}} {{spade|6}} {{heart|K}}

{{diamond|4}} {{heart|6}} {{club|2}}

</center>
<hr>
* The column of {{spade|6}}{{heart|6}} cancel out to zero.
* Kings are worth zero.
* This scores '''+4''' ({{diamond|4}}) '''-2''' ({{club|2}}) = '''2 points'''.
}}

* The player with the fewest points wins the round.
* The player with the fewest cumulative points from all rounds wins the game.

== Variants ==
=== Card Power ===
When you draw a J, Q or K from the deck and immediately discard it, you can activate the corresponding power:

* J: Peek at 1 of your cards.
* Q: Peek at 1 of an opponent's card.
* K: Swap any 2 cards.

Gamehelpdistilled

2026-10-23T22:10:39Z

Sammy McSam: /* Solo Mode */ swapped Template:InfoBox for Template:Warn

==Overview==

You have inherited your family's distillery. Buy ingredients, recipes, equipment, and staff to create renowned spirits and earn the title of Master Distiller. The goal is to earn the most SP (Spirit Points) at the end of seven rounds. SP is earned mostly by selling the spirits you make, but also by gaining premium upgrades and items.

==Gameplay==

Before the game starts, you are given two Master Distiller characters to choose from. Each has a different signature recipe and a special skill to aid you in the game. You also receive 3 Spirit Awards (goals) that give you SP at the end of the game.

Before each round, you may perform any "start of round" actions allowed by your character or distillery upgrades.

====Recipes====

Recipes are the combination of ingredients (cards) you need to distill certain kinds of spirits. You cannot make a spirit if you do not own the recipe for it, even if you have the cards (you cannot "discover" brandy). Each player gets the same "Tasting Flight" or list of available recipes, other than their signature recipe.

To distill a spirit it '''must''' include some type of ''yeast'', ''water'', and a ''sugar''. There are three kinds of sugars: '''{{Text|grain|c=brown}}''' (brown wheat), '''{{Text|plant|c=green}}''' (green root), and '''{{Text|fruit|c=red}}''' (red fruit).

When you start, you only have three recipes you can make: moonshine, vodka, and your signature recipe. But you won't be able to make your signature recipe in the first round. Other recipes must be purchased during the market phase.

====Phases of a Round====

Each round has four phases:

<ol class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Market</li>
<li>Distill</li>
<li>Sell</li>
<li>Age</li>
</ol>

'''<u>Market</u>'''

In other words, shopping. In this phase, you purchase recipes, ingredients, items, and distillery upgrades.

There are five places to buy things:

<ol class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>'''Basic Market:''' The top row displays basic elements to make any spirit. Some have no cost. But you can '''only purchase 2 items''' from the Basic Market each round.</li>
<ul class="bulletlist" style="padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>If you buy yeast, you gain 1 money.</li>
<li>If you buy water, you can look at the top card of either any market deck and purchase it if you wish.</li>
</ul>
<li>'''Distillery Upgrades:''' Gain advantages by getting discounts, free ingredients, or other benefits.</li>
<li>'''Premium Ingredients:''' Premium ingredients get more SP if they appear in your spirit.</li>
<li>'''Premium Items:''' Containers to distill and sell your spirits. Some spirits require a barrel or clay vessel to age in. Bottles are used when the spirit is sold and can increase SP if they match the spirit's country of origin.</li>
<li>'''Recipe List:''' Found near your player card. To make a spirit, you must first unlock the recipe. Bronze recipes cost 2 money, silver costs 4 money, gold costs 6 money. You start with the ''moonshine'' and ''vodka'' recipes unlocked.</li>
</ol>

When all players have passed, the market phase is over. The rightmost cards for each market are discarded and shifted to make room for new drawn cards.

Purchased ingredients go into your pantry and equipment goes into your storeroom. These will eventually be combined when you sell the spirit. But first you have to distill it.

'''<u>Distill</u>'''

''Optional:'' Before distilling, you can trade 1 ingredient or item card for a basic ingredient of equal or lesser cost. You cannot trade your starting barrel or bottle.

Each player selects ingredients to put in their washback (the vessel used for fermentation). ''Yeast'' and ''water'' and ''at least one sugar'' are required ingredients to distill anything. The type and number of sugars determine what spirit will be made. If you have ''Alcohol'' in your pantry from previous spirits, you can use that in place of yeast or water.

When distilling takes place, all the cards are shuffled together, including one Alcohol card per sugar card. Two of the cards are returned to the pantry (these represent the "heads" and "tails" formed during fermentation, which are cut from the liquid, but reusable). If the remaining cards match a known recipe (and you have the appropriate barrel) you can create that spirit and store it in a warehouse. The recipe must not contain any type of sugar that is not part of the recipe.

Tip: Because two cards from the recipe are returned to you, you may want to include more sugars than necessary into the mix to increase the chances of getting the spirit you want.

You may have to choose between different recipes if there is more than one match. Vodka is always an option if the result contains any sugars, or moonshine if it contains no sugar.

Once you have your spirit, you must choose a barrel to combine it with. The recipe's "spirit label" is claimed and the cards are stored in one of your two warehouses. If you don't need to age it, you may be ready to sell.

'''<u>Sell</u>'''

Any spirits in your warehouse may be sold for money and SP. Recipes with the non-age icon (crossed out hourglass) MUST be sold this round. Recipes that do have the age icon (brown hourglass) must wait at least one round after distillation to be sold.

To sell, you must choose a bottle to put the spirit in. All players start with a glass bottle, but premium bottles bought from the market can increase the SP or money value.

The SP and money value is the totals from the cards (ingredients, flavors, barrels, bottle) and recipe. The label is used to choose a selling bonus, either SP or some other benefit. Starting equipment is returned to your storeroom. Premium bottles are put on display and may earn additional SP at the end of the game.

If you cannot or choose not to sell a spirit this round, you hold a "tasting" where you can exchange up to 4 SP for money.

'''<u>Age</u>'''

Recipes with the age icon (brown hourglass) must wait at least one round after distillation and cannot be sold immediately. A spirit gains 1 Flavor card for each round it is aged. The value of these flavor cards is not revealed until the spirit is sold. (You never know what your spirit will taste like until you sell it.)

You can age a spirit for more than one round, which will increase its SP, but not sell value.

In the last round, if you do not sell an aged spirit, you will still receive SP for it, but not money.

==End of Round==

BGA checks to see if you have achieved any Spirit Awards (goals) and adds the SP to your total.

If this is the end of the third round, choose one Spirit Award to discard.

After seven rounds, the game ends and scoring commences.

==Scoring==

Spirit Points are gained from:

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Spirits stored in the warehouse, counting the cards in the spirit stack, barrel, and recipe. You do not receive SP from flavors but receive 1 SP per flavor card.</li>
<li>Bottles with a Region icon. Score 2/4/7/10/15 SP for 1/2/3/4/5/6+ bottles from the same region. Add 5 SP if you have one bottle from each of the three different Regions.</li>
<ul class="bulletlist" style="padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>A distiller's home region counts as an icon of that Region, not a separate fourth icon.</li>
</ul>
<li>Distillery upgrades</li>
<li>Spirit Awards (goals)</li>
<li>Money at a rate of 1 SP for 5 money</li>
</ul>

If players are tied for the most SP, the player with the most money wins.

==Solo Mode==

In Solo Mode, your objective is to fulfill a set of goals and earn enough SP to meet the threshold determined by those goals. Fourteen goals are arranged into five rows in a "tree" formation. Achieving one will unlock the goals above it. This row becomes the active row. You cannot complete goals below your active row.

To win, you must A) complete one goal from each row and B) earn at least as many SP as the total from your achieved A goal and B goal.

{{warn|'''Differences Between Physical Game and BGA'''

<ul>
<li>On BGA, the distill phase is taken in player order, starting with the first player token.</li>
<li>On BGA, the Drone Camera is not part of the Distillery Upgrade deck.</li>
<li>On BGA, the choice of flavor cards for Doig Ventilator is automated to pick the most valuable flavor.</li>

Sammy McSam: Template:InfoBox update

== Overview ==
{{infoBox|float=right|background=#080|bodyBackground=#fffe|bodyBackgroundDark=#0008|title=Objective
|body=
Surround the opponent's queen bee.
{{hexMap|x=62|

}}
}}
* 2 player abstract.
* Players compete to gain control of a hive by surrounding their opponent's queen bee.
* One player plays the black pieces, the other player plays the white pieces.
* Play area starts empty.

== Player Turn ==

* Must make a move if possible, otherwise their turn is skipped.
Each turn choose to either:
# Place a new piece.
# Move a piece.

=== Place a piece ===

* Must be on the edge of the hive.
* Queen bee must be placed in your first 4 turns.
After each player has placed their first piece:
* Must touch a piece of the same color.
* Cannot touch a piece of the opposite color.
''Note:'' Stacks are the color of the top piece.

=== Move a piece ===

* You cannot move pieces until your queen bee is placed.
* Imaginary hexagonal grid.
* Adjacent pieces always touch a complete edge.
* All pieces must form one contiguous group at all times ('''''One Hive''''' rule, see below).
* A piece cannot move through a gap that is too narrow ('''''Freedom to Move''''' rule, see below).

Sammy McSam: /* 5 Flamboyants */ removed '(optional)' due to misinterpretation https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=269517

== Overview ==

Hanabi is a cooperative game where your collective goal is to build a fabulous fireworks show. Like any decent show, you should start with small fireworks and finish with the big ones. You will do this by playing red, yellow, green, blue and white cards from ranks 1 to 5. The problem? You don't know what cards you have. But you know which ones your fellow players do. So you must communicate with each other to build a proper show by placing cards in sequential order with no misfires.

====Cards and Firework Stacks====

The deck has 50 cards. The cards come in five colors: {{pill|red|firebrick}} {{pill|yellow|gold}} {{pill|green|green}} {{pill|blue|royalblue}} {{pill|white|white}}

Each color has 10 cards: 3 {{HCard|1|silver}}, 2 {{HCard|2|silver}}, 2 {{HCard|3|silver}}, 2 {{HCard|4|silver}}, 1 {{HCard|5|silver}}.

There is only one firework stack of each color which start empty. {{hTable}}

Each firework must be placed in ascending order starting from 1, so you are aiming for {{hTable|5|5|5|5|5}}.

Playing a card on any stack that is not the next number in the sequence will result in a misfire. '''If three misfires occur, the game is over and the players lose.'''

====Communication====

You communicate with your teammates via '''clues'''. You have a limited number of clues, represented by tokens like this: {{Hclue|s=1}}

Each time a clue is given, one {{Hclue|s=1}} moves from the white area (available tokens) to the black (used tokens): {{hClues|s=1.2|a7=}}.

If there are no tokens available, you must play or discard on your turn.

{{reminder|Do '''not''' give information via chat. That is cheating. If you do, you are dishonored and your reputation as a master pyrotechnician is tainted.}}

==Setup==

In a 2-3 player game, each player gets a hand of 5 cards. In a 4-5 player game, each player gets a hand of 4 cards.

==Gameplay==

On your turn, you can do one of three things.

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Give a clue.</li>
<li>Discard a card.</li>
<li>Play a card.</li>
</ul>

==== Give a Clue ====

To give a clue, there must be at least 1 {{Hclue|s=1}} in the white area.
Select another player's card. You have the choice of telling the player:

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Which cards '''of that color''' the player has</li>
<li>Which cards '''of that number''' the player has</li>
</ul>

At that point, 1 {{Hclue|s=1}} is moved from the white "available" zone to the black "used" zone.

The game records these clues, so you can tell which cards other players have pointed out are what number and what color.

==== Play a Card ====

Select a card in your hand and then {{button|Play selected card}} or just drag the card onto the firework stacks in the center to play it.
<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>If it '''is''' the next card in sequence for a color, it is automatically placed on the appropriate stack, adding to or completing the firework stack.</li>
<li>If it '''is not''' the next card in sequence for any color, then the firework has misfired and the card is discarded.</li>
</ul>
A replacement card is automatically added to the left side of the player's hand.

If the played card completes a firework stack, 1 {{Hclue|s=1}} moves from the spent black area to the white available area.

==== Discard a Card ====

To discard a card, there must be at least 1 {{Hclue|s=1}} in the black area.

Select a card in your hand and then {{button|Discard selected card}} or just drag the card onto the discard area to discard it.

A replacement card is automatically added to the left side of the player's hand.

1 {{Hclue|s=1}} moves from the black area to the white area, making it available.

Discarding is a necessary part of the game as you will need to restore {{Hclue|s=1}} in order to clue more cards.

== Game End ==

There are three ways the game can end:
<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>If the players cause 3 misfires (misplayed cards), the game immediately ends and the players lose.</li>
<li>If all 5 firework stacks are completed, the players have won and are granted a stunning victory with 25 points.</li>
<li>If the deck is empty, each player plays one more time (including the player who emptied the deck).</li>
</ul>

====Scoring====

The score is automatically counted as the game progresses, visible in the player panels.

Artistic impression is determined by the Artisan League of Fireworks Technicians reference scale:

{|class="wikitable" style="width:auto;" border="2"
|-style="background:#ccd4;text-align:left;font-weight:600;"
!Points
!Overall impression
|-
|0-5
|Horrible, booed by the crowd...
|-
|6-10
|Mediocre, just a spattering of applause...
|-
|11-15
|Honorable attempt, but quickly forgotten...
|-
|16-20
|Excellent, crowd pleasing.

The only way to score above 25 is to include multicolored cards. See '''Variants''' below.

|-
|Avalanche of Colors

|style="text-align:left;"|{{pill|multicolor|#b0b}} cards are wild, which means these cards are '''''clued by any color'''''.
|}

==== Black Powder ====

Ten {{pill|black|black}} cards are added to the deck. Black cards are played in '''descending''' order (from {{Hk|5}} to {{Hk|1}}).
This is why instead of three 1s and one 5, there are three 5s and one 1.

You '''cannot give color clues''' for black cards. They have no color (who can see a black firework?). So black cards can only be clued with number.

The game score starts at -5. That's -1 point for every card missing from the black powder stack.

==== 5 Flamboyants ====

Also known as "The Sumptuous 5". When you play the last card on a firework stack (typically the 5), a bonus tile is randomly selected for immediate use. Bonus tiles have different effects:

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Gain a {{Hclue|s=1}}</li>
<li>Gain a {{Hclue|s=1}} and remove 1 misfire</li>
<li>Give a color clue to a player for free</li>
<li>Give a number clue to a player for free</li>
<li>Shuffle a discarded card back into the deck</li>
<li>Play a discarded card</li>
</ul>

==== Convention Used ====

''Hanabi'' is a game about communication, but there aren't enough {{Hclue|s=1}} to be able to indicate both color ''and'' number of every played card. So to give more information, the team must agree on a set of interpretations for clues, plays, and discards, called '''conventions'''.

If the players use different conventions to communicate, they are sure to lose. You can read more about conventions on the '''[[Tips_hanabi|Tips]]''' page.

During game setup, the creator can indicate which convention set the players should use. These are not enforceable, so please respect the convention set that the table creator set.

The oldest, unmarked card is safe to discard if there is no card to play.
A number clue that marks the oldest, unmarked card means save this card for later.
Otherwise it is a left-focused play clue.

====Preset Deck====

Preset decks are useful for comparing teams/conventions using the same deck. You can select to have no preset deck or choose one of 5 preset decks of the day. These change every day at 0:00 UTC.

====Unofficial variant====

In a two-player game, hand size is 6 instead of 5. In a five-player game, hand size is 3 instead of 4.

When to discard, play, empty clue, clue duplicates and advanced techniques.

=== Trash moves ===

When a direct clue is blocked by trash cards, we can finesse the playable card with a single clue that marks one or more trash cards.

==== 1. Trash push ====

* Trash push is optimal because
* Where the trash cards '''include the chop card''', the clued card is the '''rightmost''' unmarked card (i.e. touching the chop trash card).

{{hTable|5|5|5|5|3|m=5}}
{{cardholder|{{Hm|4}}{{Hw|4}}{{Hm|1|n=}}{{Hr|1|n=}} |Bob 🡲}}

==== 2. Trash pull ====

* Pull is always inferior to push, both in order of interpretation and in quality.
* Where the trash cards '''do not include the chop card''', the clued card is the '''leftmost''' unmarked card (i.e. finesse position).

{{hTable|5|5|5|5|3|m=5}}
{{cardholder|{{Hm|4|{{b}}|c=}}{{Hw|4}}{{Hm|1|{{b}}|c=}}{{Hr|1}} |Bob 🡲}}

=== The critical move ===

To work out the most efficient sequence of moves, you need to determine three things:
;Critical colour: the colour that takes the most turns to complete.
: ''(i.e. must start as soon as possible to maximise the score).''
;Critical card: the first card of the critical colour.
: Note: this can be a '''duplicate''' of a card already marked!
;Critical move: the move that makes the critical card play.
: Note: this can be a '''clue''', '''play''' or '''discard'''.

# Identify the critical colour - usually the player with the most critical cards, or consecutive cards of the same colour.
# Work out how many clue tokens are needed to reach the critical player.
# If you only have one critical card, discarding although counter-intuitive, is often the best move to generate a token!

This was a simple example. Test yourself with some '''[https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/index.php?title=User:Sammy_McSam/Hanabi/Examples more complex examples]'''!

=== When to discard? ===

The endgame should be the easiest part since we can just calculate all possibilities, yet it is really hard to master.

With 5 '''flamboyants''', generating a token from a '''discard instead of a play''' may be the only way to reach the start of the critical path.

}}

* To reach Cathy with a least {{HDeck|1}} remaining, only one of Bob or Alice can draw a card.
* '''Alice''' cannot clue ({{hclue|0}}) and '''must generate a token''' for Bob so that he can give a stall clue to avoid drawing the last card.
* Without 5 flamboyants Alice would just play her {{card|5}} which generates {{hclue|1}}.
* With 5 flamboyants Alice can't know if playing her {{card|5}} will generate a token, so Alice '''discards''' and '''plays after''' Cathy's '''critical card''' ({{hw|4}}).

==== General case with 5 flamboyants ====

When Alice '''does not have''' a card of the '''critical colour''', then '''discarding is better than playing!'''

=== Getting bottom decked ===

...is arguably the most 'unfair' part of Hanabi {{s:/}}.

Here's a '''[https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/250710-0850/?table=700345728&player=85540714&comments=84994396&goto=69 candidate for the worst ever bottom-decked situation]''': all three {{hb|1}} in the last {{HDeck|5}} cards {{S:O}}

=== Order of plays ===

Where the order may seem arbitrary, prioritise from most out-of-order to consecutive plays e.g.:
# {{hw|5}} {{hw|4}} {{hw|3}}
# {{hw|4}} {{hw|3}} {{hw|5}}
# {{hw|3}} {{hw|4}} {{hw|5}}

=== Replace flamboyant {{HanabiFlamboyant|4}} ===

The decision of which card to replace (or to skip) can communicate information to the team.
Priority highest to lowest:
# lowest rank critical
# lowest rank non-critical
# duplicate of an unmarked card
# duplicate of a marked card
# trash of number corresponding to the slot position of a playable card
# {{Hk|5}}
# skip

When there is no gain in returning a card playable in the future - either the immediate flamboyant {{HanabiFlamboyant|5}} will play from discard pile or , the decision of which trash card to replace into the deck can be a clue in itself corresponding to the slot position of a player.
When playing with black powder and 4 or 5 players, replacing an available 5k trash card indicates no playable card is visible.

== <div style="background:linear-gradient(45deg,#aff,#cfd,#fff0 40rem);padding:.25rem .5rem;border-top-left-radius:.5rem;">5 Flamboyants</div> ==

Don't let the '''5''' fool you - there are actually '''six''' randomly selected actions:
# {{HanabiFlamboyant|0}} Gain {{hclue|1}}
# {{HanabiFlamboyant|1}} Gain {{hclue|1}} & remove a mistake
# {{HanabiFlamboyant|2}} {{hCard|3|n=}} Give number clue
# {{HanabiFlamboyant|3}} {{hCard|C={{r}}|c=}} Give a colour clue
# {{HanabiFlamboyant|4}} Replace a card from the discard pile into the deck
# {{HanabiFlamboyant|5}} Play a card from the discard pile

A 7th stack bonus is always irrelevant (and on BGA always gain {{hclue|1}} clue token), since there is no 8th stack.

[https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37453 Travis Hall » 16 December 2023, 01:12]
<blockquote>
When playing with high-level partners, I generally try to regard a number clue touching chop as chop-focussed unless there is a timeliness consideration.[…]when giving a finesse, we can’t wait for the discard of the chop. For example:
:Played: {{hw|2}} {{cardholder|{{hw|3}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |B 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hm|5}}{{hk}}{{hw|4}}{{hk|4}} |C 🡲}}

A clues 4 to C. Cluing white is blocked by {{hm|5}}. Cluing 4 can’t wait, because B will probably discard and {{hw|3}} will move out of finesse. C can note the finesse response and adjust their expectation to play the left 4.

And I try to consistently clue the same way.

I recognise that many masters will clue 2s non-chop-focussed in the early game. Frankly, I’m not a fan, as this forces me to guess who does this and who does not, but I will guess because my rate of error is lower that way. I understand the consideration that 2s are the most valuable cards, but I’m not sure the risks are worth it.

Whenever somebody touches my chop with a number clue and expects me to play from the left, and I misfire, my question is always “Well, if my cards were the opposite way around, how would you have clued them?” Of the few who will answer that question at all, the answer is usually, “I would clue <number>,” and they don’t understand that this makes it impossible for me to do anything other than guess.
</blockquote>

Since we know we can extract a playable cards with colour + number clues, it follows that number clues that mark the chop card are interpreted as:
# critical save if the chop card can be critical
# Double discard save if the player either side of the receiver has a non-critical card of the same number
# Otherwise a left-focused play clue.

<span style="float:left;padding-inline-end:1ch;">{{hk|1}}</span>
=== Black powder 1 ===

{{card|1}} clues that mark the chop card are interpreted as a {{hk|1}} save (unless the receiver already has a known play).

* If a player can see {{hk|1}}, it is logical to play all cards marked {{card|1}} from '''oldest to newest'''.
The oldest is the most valuable {{card|1}} because otherwise it could have been discarded before cluing {{card|1}}.

Playing a chop card marked {{card|1}} can be played because:
# {{hk|1}} is visible (and the player who can't see it is '''promised''' {{hk|1}})
#* This player should then track the newest position that can be {{hk|1}}.
#** if this card reaches chop, it should not be saved with a direct clue.
#** if his card does receive a direct clue, it becomes a finesse.
# a playable {{card|1}} was '''discarded'''
# a playable {{card|1}} was '''not bluffed'''

=== The everlasting exception: context ===

'''Context''' > '''convention''' and ''can cause an unconventional move!''

Think carefully about:
# timing (why now?),
# negative clues (e.g. "not red"),
# recently discarded cards,
# critical cards,
# tokens needed for saves or other plays

{{infoBox |maxWidth=400 |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title=Example 1: double discard avoidance
|body=
Sometimes we need more information before we can know if a clue is a chop-focused save or a left-focused play clue.
Double discard avoidance saves are one of the most difficult clues to interpret because it's one of the very few times we can save non-critical cards without expecting a play response.

Nothing much is going on and there have not been any good ways to splash, give trash clues or otherwise delay one of the players.
Some players forbid a player from discarding if a [[Tips_hanabi|double discard]] is possible
}}

== <div style="background:linear-gradient(45deg,#aff,#cfd,#fff0 40rem);padding:.25rem .5rem;border-top-left-radius:.5rem;">Strategy</div> ==

=== Back to basics ===

In a {{player|5}} player game with {{cardholder|{{hCard}}{{hCard}}{{hCard}}{{hCard}}}}, each player can play one of the '''4''' {{hCard}} + discard one of the '''4''' {{hCard}} + clue one of the '''5''' numbers to any of the other '''×4''' players + clue one of the '''5''' colours to any of the other '''×4''' players = '''48''' possible moves per player.
That's a lot to think about. But amazingly our human brains can filter out the vast majority of those moves as not logical given a bit of agreement on clue, play and discard interpretations (conventions).

=== Hand management ===

Hand management is important in high level play to keep as many non-trash cards in the game for as long as possible.

==== When to discard ====

* The player before you has a valuable card on their chop that cannot be clued - so drawing new cards gives more opportunity for them to clue instead of discard their valuable chop.
* The next player has a playable finesse position, but they have a save, fix or other important clue to give - so that the card remains in finesse position to be bluffed later.

==== When to skip players ====

(and how to irritate them {{s:P}})

* Opening with no information on any of your cards.
* The player(s) skipped have duplicate cards that need to be marked with a good touch play clue.
* If you have been the target of a trash bluff and not yet discarded cards to the right of the trash cards.
* Players in front of you have trash.
* The player behind you has many plays.

==== Double Discard Avoidance (DDA) ====

* Many players have incomplete or non-existent methods for managing DDA because it is difficult as it requires a lot of contextual awareness.
* Players need to be aware of how many opportunities there are to mark double chop cards.
* Anytime a chop card is marked with a number of the same rank visible in the next player's hand DDA should be considered.
** Or even if the double chop players are not next to each other but the in-between players are busy.

<span style="float:left;padding-inline-end:1ch;">{{hclue|8}}</span>
=== Efficiency ===

==== Bluffs ====

* Bluffs are powerful...
* Easiest way to mark nice cards

===== Maximising bluff opportunities {{s8)}} =====

* Once we realise the power of bluffs, it follows that we want to maximise the number of bluffing opportunities available to players.
* In any given situation, it is possible to work out Alice's optimal move given the information available to her.

* The basic idea is simple: look for the bluff opportunity that is furthest ahead.
* Everyone should be making moves that enable that bluff opportunity to be used, and then work backwards from that player for the next opportunity.

So from Alice's point of view, she will see if:
# Donald can bluff Emily
# Cathy can bluff Donald
# Bob can bluff Cathy
# Alice can bluff Bob

{{infoBoxes3|state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title1=Example 1|body1=&ZeroWidthSpace;
# {{text|Donald can bluff Emily|c=#080}}
# {{text|Cathy cannot bluff Donald|c=#800}}
# {{text|Bob can bluff Cathy|c=#080}}
# {{text|Alice cannot bluff Bob|c=#800}}

Then it's quite easy:
# Alice discards
# Bob bluffs Cathy
# Cathy discards
# Donald bluffs Emily

|title2=Example 2|body2=
Now if Alice can also bluff:
# {{text|Donald can bluff Emily|c=#080}}
# {{text|Cathy cannot bluff Donald|c=#800}}
# {{text|Bob can bluff Cathy|c=#080}}
# {{text|Alice can bluff Bob|c=#080}}

Then it's still easy:
# Alice either double bluffs Bob & Cathy or discards
# Bob responds or bluffs Cathy
# Cathy discards
# Donald bluffs Emily

|title3=Example 3|body3=
Now if Cathy can also bluff:
# {{text|Donald can bluff Emily|c=#080}}
# {{text|Cathy cannot bluff Donald|c=#800}}
# {{text|Bob can bluff Cathy|c=#080}}
# {{text|Alice can bluff Bob|c=#080}}

Then it's significantly more complicated for the team to predict, but not much more complex for Alice:
# Alice should probably discard (unless there is a {{text|i=italic|really}} good bluff target available to her
# Bob makes a similar decision
# Cathy responds, double bluffs or discards
# Donald responds or bluffs Emily
}}

===== When to not save critical cards {{s:O}} =====

* No matter how many tokens you have, whether it is {{hclue|1}} or {{hclue|7}}, you do not always have to spend a token to save a card.
** Some players might find this statement controversial.
* Each player must consider the likelihood of a certain move and assess if the risk-reward of all the possible moves.

We know that there are a lot of possible moves, and even more game states.

===== When to Trash bluff =====

* When you first learn about trash bluffs, you need to practice it and that's fine.
* Once you are comfortable with how it works, you need to consider if you '''''should''''' use a trash bluff.

* Examples where it is clearly bad
:Played: {{hw|1}} {{cardholder|{{hb|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Bob 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hw|1|n=}}{{hw|1|n=}}{{hb|2}}{{hb|2}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* With black powder: {{card|1}} bluffs are {{hk|1}} promise bluffs unless {{hk|1}} is known to Alice and the receiver.
Would you trash bluff 5k when all 5s are not visible?

<span style="float:left;padding-inline-end:1ch;">{{hw|3|n=}}</span>
=== Reverses with number ===

* Reverse finesses are often not great if the finessed card could instead be bluffed, however, it can be useful to mark a chop card as a reverse to ensure it is not discarded.
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hw|2}} |Bob 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hw|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Donald 🡲}} Usually Alice and Bob should discard so that Cathy can bluff Donald's {{hw|1}}, but Bob's {{hw|2}} is more valuable than any bluff target Alice can see, so she chooses to reverse with colour.

But what if reversing with colour would mark trash?
* If we can finesse with number, why can't we also reverse finesse with number?
* A reverse with number is usually harder to read than a reverse with colour, but they are more efficient than colour + multiple correction clues (to prevent future bombs).

[https://boardgamearena.com/player?id=85786974 Travis Hall] gives a basic explanation of number reverses:
<blockquote>
Similarly, we often avoid number reverses, because if there’s both an available reverse to any card of that number and an immediately playable card of that number, the clue receiver has to guess at the correct move, and this can easily go wrong. Even so, when circumstance narrows the possibilities enough, we can sometimes do a number reverse safely.
</blockquote>

<span style="float:left;padding-inline-end:1ch;">{{hm|3|{{w}}|c=}}</span>
=== Multicolour reverses with colour ===

[https://boardgamearena.com/player?id=85786974 Travis Hall] explains it well:
<blockquote>
We usually avoid reverse finesses in multicolour, because although multi does connect with any colour, if we reverse multis then responses to our most common play clues - colour clues to a playable card - just stop, all of them, if a playable multi is in someone’s blind finesse position. That can be very difficult to work around.
</blockquote>

* Multicolour reverses with a single colour can work, the most common situation being where the clue giver and receiver can both see a playable card of the colour clued either marked or in the finesse position in someone else's hand.
* Such a reverse may also trigger a [[Tips_hanabi|hesitation]] play.

=== When to Gentleman's Discard (GD) ===

# Plays extra cards for free from one ''or more'' hands.
# Protect cards
# Token is needed

GD without one of these benefits is usually of '''negative value''':
* Limits the freedom to clue.
* Misleads the receiver - the cards to the right of the copy is not trash.

=== Using the last token {{hclue|0}} ===

Cause a valuable discard
* Marked in a hand
* Unmarked in a hand

Following player has a locked hand
* Cause a trash or duplicate discard e.g. {{hk|5}} from {{card|5}} save.
* Cause a play

=== Negatives ===

Write notes if necessary.
# Keep track of your own negatives.
# Keep track of all negatives.

Play finesse position e.g. multicolour bluff where:
* a colour-marked card has a negative colour

Multicolour bluff target is clued with a single colour
* if it can be clued red, but another colour is chosen = finesse
* if it can't be clued red = prompt

=== Cluing ===

Marking fewer than possible cards
e.g. marking a single 2 with colour instead of multiple 2s with number = duplicate 2 in your hand

no prompt

no save = non-critical

{{pill|What is the best move for Alice?|#088}}

A) clue {{hw|3|c=|n=}} B) clue {{hw|4|c=}} C) clue {{hw|4|n=}} C) play {{HBack|4|{{w}}|c=}} D) discard {{HBack|4|{{w}}|c=}} E) discard chop {{HBack}}

{{infoBox |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=green
|title=Solution
|body={{pill|D) discard {{HBack|4|{{w}}|c=}} }}

# Alice's chop card was not marked before her '''free move''' to clue Bob, so she knows her oldest white card cannot be critical ({{hw|5}}).
# According to good touch, Alice can assume her white card is also not a 3 and could be a 4.
# Alice sees Bob has a valuable {{hr|2}} on chop, marked {{hw|3}} and unmarked {{hw|4}} in his finesse position.
In order to delay the future discard of {{hr|2}}, the best move for Alice is to discard her non-critical white card to trigger Bob to play {{hw|3|c=}} and {{hw|4}}.

=== Black powder 1 tracking ===

{{infoBoxes3 |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title1=Example 1: basic tracking
|body1={{hTable|k=}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hr|1|n=}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* First clue of the game. Alice to Bob: this card is a 1.
* Bob plays {{hr|1|n=}}.
* Cathy knows that Bob would not be able to play if he cannot see {{hk|1}}.
* Cathy cannot see {{hk|1}} so she must have {{hk|1}} in her hand.

Cathy knows that ordinarily her {{Hk|1}} will be saved once it reaches her chop. But what if {{hk|1}} is in her slot 1?
If Cathy tracks her leftmost unmarked card, once {{hk|1}} reaches her chop, she already knows it and {{hk|1}} does not need to be saved at all!

|title2=Example 2: any rightmost 1 play
|body2=We can extend this technique to any position at any time:
* Alice to Bob: these two cards are 1s.

{{hTable||1|2|1||k=3}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hw|1|n=}}{{hr|1|n=}}{{hk}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}
* Bob plays {{hr|1|n=}}.
* Cathy knows that ordinarily Bob will play the leftmost 1 first since play clues are left-focused. But since Bob played his rightmost 1, logically this communicates something extra: that Bob can see {{hk|1}}. So Cathy knows she has {{hk|1}} in her hand and notes that her leftmost can be {{hk|1}}.

When all players understand that a rightmost 1 play means they see {{hk|1}}, Alice can even mark trash cards:

{{hTable||1|1|1|1|k=2}}
{{cardholder|{{hb|1|n=}}{{hg|1|n=}}{{hr|1|n=}}{{hk}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}

|title3=Example 3: negatives
|body3=We can extend this technique to optimise tracking:

{{hTable|k=}}

{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hr|1|n=}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hy|3}}{{hy|5}}{{hk|1}} |Donald 🡲}}

* Alice to Bob: this card is a 1.
* Bob plays {{hr|1|n=}}.
* Cathy clues yellow to Donald.
* Donald knows that Bob would not be able to play if he cannot see {{hk|1}}.
* After Cathy clues yellow, the leftmost possible position for his {{hk|1}} has moved to his chop.
}}

Taking example 2 further, we can even play all slot 4 1s when {{hk|1}} is still in the deck!

* Alice clues 1s to Cathy.
* Bob clues 1s to Donald.

{{hTable|k=}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hr|1|n=}}{{hg|1|n=}} |Cathy 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hy|1|n=}}{{hb|1|n=}} |Donald 🡲}}

* Cathy does not see {{hk|1}} so she plays her leftmost {{hr|1|n=}}.
* Donald also does not see {{hk|1}} so he plays his leftmost {{hy|1|n=}}.

{{hTable|1|1||||k=}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hg|1|n=}} |Cathy 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hb|1|n=}} |Donald 🡲}}

Since both players have communicated that they do not see {{hk|1}}, it is still in the deck and next turn everyone can play their remaining 1s.

----

Applying this principal generally is tricky because it can become unclear what has triggered a blind-play

=== slot 3 blind plays ===

* When you track {{hk|1}}, the position becomes known when the leftmost possible position reaches your slot 3 and your slot 4 is not saved.

{{cardholder|{{HBack}}{{HBack}}{{hk|1}}{{HBack}} |You 🡲}}

<span style="float:left;padding-inline-end:1ch;">{{hr|2}}</span>
==== uncertain 2s ====

Since 2s (& {{hk|4}}) are so valuable, if a player is allowed or encouraged to discard a 2 when it could have been prevented or even just delayed, it is logical that there is another copy of that card in the same hand or visible in someone else's.
* So you can track it like {{hk|1}} and also blind play it before it is marked as soon as it is playable.

{{InfoBoxes |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background1=green |background2=rebeccapurple
|title1=Question
|body1=
Consider this situation:
* Alice clues Donald's {{hb|5|c=}}
{{cardholder|{{HBack}}{{HBack}}{{HBack}}{{HBack}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hb|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hb|5|c=}}{{hr|5}} |Donald 🡲}}
* Bob sees {{hb|1}} and correctly assumes he has {{hb|2}}{{hb|3}}{{hb|4}} and mentally congratulates Alice on a great clue.
* So Bob saves {{hr|5}}:
{{cardholder|{{HBack}}{{HBack}}{{HBack}}{{HBack}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hb|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hb|5|c=|n=}}{{hr|5|n=}} |Donald 🡲}}
* Cathy discards.
* Donald discards.
* Alice discards.
* What should Bob do?
{{pill|A) discard chop}}{{pill|B) clue {{hb|1}}}}{{pill|C) play slot 1}}{{pill|D) discard slot 1}}{{pill|E) type "??" in chat}}
|title2=Answer
|body2=
{{pill|C) play slot 1}} as {{hb|1}}
Always remember to:
# assume your teammates are giving valid clues (whether it's a good clue is a whole other question!)
# stop and consider all possibilities
# not type any reaction to a move in chat because it will usually spoil the game for everyone because you:
## tell everyone you found the move strange
## distract everyone from thinking about the best moves
## may provoke a player who is insecure or prideful into an argument

Discussion at the end of the game can benefit everyone: Bob and Cathy can explain why they didn't respond and the whole team can discuss if it was a good finesse.
}}

=== Passing back a finesse ===

*Normally we know that if we finesse a card and more than one player has a copy of the same finessed card, the first player will not play it because they see it in another hand, and the last player who does not see a future response must play the card.
*However sometimes we have a situation where it would be clearly a blunder to play.
*In the last example, Cathy's choice to discard instead of play for {{hb|1}} was the correct choice given she saw all the connecting cards in Bob's hand. Note that if Cathy had a critical card on chop, this finesse would be a blunder.

What if there were only one connecting card behind {{hb|1}}?
* Alice clues Donald's {{hb|4|n=}}
{{cardholder|{{hb|1}}{{hb|3}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hb|1}}{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hw|4|n=|c=}}{{hr|5|n=|c=}} |Donald 🡲}}
* Bob sees {{hb|1}} in Cathy's hand, so he saves {{hr|5}}

Or Cathy has both connecting cards as well?
*Double pass back

The point is that so long as an important card is not in danger of being discarded, the situation should always resolve itself without any more clues given.

In order to play cooperatively, we need to mark playable cards to get them to play at the correct time.
To maximise cooperation, we need to be able to predict the possible moves of other players.
The cost of being able to predict moves is to limit the number of moves.
*If a card is playable, logically we assume it will be marked by a clue before it is discarded (unless there is another copy visible).

== <div style="background:linear-gradient(45deg,#aff,#cfd,#fff0 40rem);padding:.25rem .5rem;border-top-left-radius:.5rem;">Extraction</div> ==

It is possible to extract a card that is 'blocked' by an unplayable card using two clues.
# Clue the target with '''colour'''.
# Clue the target with '''number'''.

{{infoBoxes3 |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title1=Example 1: avalanche
|body1={{hTable||1||||m=}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|5}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hg|5}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|2}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* Avalanche of colors option is on, so multicolour cards are marked by '''any colour clue'''.
* Cathy's {{hy|2}} should play before it is discarded.
* The focus of a 2 clue on its own will be {{hm|2}} and the focus of a yellow clue will also be {{hm|2}}.

* Alice to Cathy: these 2 cards are yellow.

{{hTable||1||||m=}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|5}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hg|5}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2|{{y}}|1|1|c=}}{{hy|2|c=}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* Bob to Cathy: these 2 cards are 2s - this fix clue changes the focus from the left 2 to the other 2.

{{hTable||1||||m=}}

}}

Since black powder can't be clued with colour, extraction is a little different:
# Clue the target with '''number'''.
# Clue the card to the '''left of the target''' with '''colour'''.
{{infoBox |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088

}}

=== Why extraction works ===

# '''Alice''' gives a white '''colour''' clue to indicate to Bob that she is giving a '''play clue''' to Cathy.
# '''Bob''' has one job: don't let Cathy bomb. He sees that one of Cathy's marked white cards is playable, so he understands that he just has to help Cathy play the correct card:
* If the '''leftmost''' white card is '''playable''', Bob does not need to do anything.
* If the '''leftmost''' white card is '''not playable''', Bob needs to help with a follow-up '''''fix''''' clue.

=== Why colour before number? ===

* In each colour, only one card can be playable (two with avalanche), whereas there can be many playable cards of a certain number. So Alice singles out one colour to help Bob know her intention is for him to help Cathy play the correct card.
* A colour clue can mark a '''chop card''' without looking like a save.

=== How do I know it's not a finesse? ===

* The leftmost card may be 1-away-from-playable.
But if Bob can see that one of the cards Alice marked with colour is playable, he will prefer to give a '''fix clue''' and '''not blind play his finesse position'''.
* As Bob, consider the choice of clue:
** if Alice wanted to finesse 2b with a playable 1m in front, why skip players to give specifically a blue clue (why not another colour or number)?
** if Alice wanted to finesse 4k with a playable 4r in front, why skip players to give specficially a 4 clue (why not red)?

=== The everlasting exception: context ===

'''Context''' > '''convention''' and ''can cause an unconventional move!''

Think carefully about:
# timing (why now?),
# negative clues (e.g. "not red"),
# recently discarded cards,
# unique cards,
# tokens needed for saves or other plays

With no context, the interpretation falls to the fewest blind plays: i.e. prefer to play the marked {{HBack|5|{{y}}|c=}} as {{hy|3}} rather than slot 1 as {{hk|5}}.

|title2=What context could change this interpretation?
|body2=
Some possible answers:
# Bob has negative 3.
# Bob had {{hy|2|c=}} which was marked with number 2 instead of a number 3 fix, and either:
## Bob did not discard what would have been a trash 3
## {{hy|4}} was discarded when it could have easily been marked to prompt {{hy|3}}

[https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/250619-1450/?table=694442815&player=84994396&comments=84994396;&goto=22 In this game] the context was 2.1: [https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/250619-1450/?table=694442815&player=84994396&comments=84994396;&goto=22 On move 23] a fix clue was given with number 2 instead of 3, Bob can know that their {{HBack|5|{{y}}|c=}} is not {{hy|3}} (else the fix should be 3¹, not 2).
This is why it is important for each player to pay attention to how their own cards are fixed (and what cards they discard afterwards).

¹Note that there are no trash 3s at this point. If there were at least one trash 3 (e.g. {{hw|3}} were played or already marked somewhere), Bob should only make this conclusion after discarding his unmarked card, to check that a 3 fix was not given due to bad touch.

{{hPlay|3steps=
|note1={{text|Alice to Cathy: this card is a 3.|#f4f4f4|x=5|y=5}}

Alice skips Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix to encourage Bob's first discard of the game.

Since there is high trust, the unnecessary loss of {{hy|1}} earlier means Bob holds at least one other copy of {{hy|1}}.
|note2=Bob discards {{hr|2}}. Again since there is high trust, Bob knows they must hold the other copy of {{hr|2}} as well.
|note3=Cathy plays {{hg|2|c=}}.

Donald discards {{hy|4}}.

Emily discards {{hw|4}}.
|note4={{text|Alice to Emily: these three cards are 5s.|#f4f4f4|x=5|y=5}}

Alice saves {{hg|5|n=}} because they think Bob knows to play {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}}, Cathy will play {{hg|3|c=|n=}} and Donald has no non-trash cards that can't be saved.

Note this encourages:
* play of {{hg|3|c=|n=}} {{s:)}} but with {{hk|4}} on chop {{s:(}}
* discard of trash {{hr|1}} {{s:)}} and future discard of duplicate {{hm|3}} {{s:)}}
* discard of {{hy|3}} {{s:(}} and potentially locking Emily's hand {{s:(}}
If Alice instead discards, Cathy could save {{hg|5}} and Emily may gain something to clue in Alice's hand, turning all {{s:(}} into {{s:)}}.

{{pill|However does Bob really know if any of their slots can be safely played?|#faa|#fcc}}

Assuming {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}} were in Bob's starting hand, the possible combinations were:

{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}

{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
where {{hk}} is any card, for example an unplayable {{hm|2}}.

{{pill|Can Bob narrow down the possibilities?|#faa|#fcc}}

If there were just one more piece of contextual information to reduce the possible slot positions, such as a nice {{hm|2}} bluff target that went unused while {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} was in slot 1 of the starting hand, then the only possibilities that remain would be:
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
and so after {{hr|2}} discard then slots 3 and 4 must be playable.
However in the game there were only two valid bluff targets available:
# repeat blue or 2 on {{hb|2|c=}} (which gives no new information on the target)
# {{hr|1}} trash bluff (which protects {{hy|4}} for one extra turn)
both would be low in value and not enough context for Bob to know that their slot 1 was unplayable.

{{pill|But why would Alice skip Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix or the {{hg|5|n=}} save?|#afa|#cfc}}

Just one example is enough to show that Bob should discard with a playable slot 1:

With {{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} the team will wait for {{hr|2}} discard so that they can clue red to splash a valuable {{hm|2}}.

From Alice's view there was also low urgency to clue {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} since {{hy|2}} / {{hr|3}} were not visible.

=== Conclusion ===

If there were a nice bluff target that went unused, then Bob could deduce the slot positions of their {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}} and blind play them both with great team satisfaction. It's great to be considering these things, but to expect a player to actually blind play them then it must be logical in all possible situations with the game context.

{{hPlay|4steps=
|note1={{text|Alice to Cathy: this card is a 3.|#f4f4f4|x=5|y=5}}

Alice skips Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix to encourage Bob's first discard of the game.

Since there is high trust, the unnecessary loss of {{hy|1}} earlier means Bob holds at least one other copy of {{hy|1}}.
|note2=Bob discards {{hr|2}}. Again since there is high trust, Bob knows they must hold the other copy of {{hr|2}} as well.
|note3=Cathy plays {{hg|2|c=}}.

Donald discards {{hy|4}}.

Emily discards {{hw|4}}.
|note4={{text|Alice to Emily: these three cards are 5s.|#f4f4f4|x=5|y=5}}

Alice saves {{hg|5|n=}} because they think Bob knows to play {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}}, Cathy will play {{hg|3|c=|n=}} and Donald has no non-trash cards that can't be saved.

Note this encourages:
* play of {{hg|3|c=|n=}} {{s:)}} but with {{hk|4}} on chop {{s:(}}
* discard of trash {{hr|1}} {{s:)}} and future discard of duplicate {{hm|3}} {{s:)}}
* discard of {{hy|3}} {{s:(}} and potentially locking Emily's hand {{s:(}}
If Alice instead discards, Cathy could save {{hg|5}} and Emily may gain something to clue in Alice's hand, turning all {{s:(}} into {{s:)}}.
|note5={{pill|However does Bob really know if any of their slots can be safely played?|#faa|#fcc}}

Assuming {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}} were in Bob's starting hand, the possible combinations were:

{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}

{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}

where {{hk}} is any card, for example an unplayable {{hm|2}}.

{{pill|Can Bob narrow down the possibilities?|#faa|#fcc}}

If there were just one more piece of contextual information to reduce the possible slot positions, such as a nice {{hm|2}} bluff target that went unused while {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} was in slot 1 of the starting hand, then the only possibilities that remain would be:
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
and so after {{hr|2}} discard then slots 3 and 4 must be playable.
However in the game there were only two valid bluff targets available:
# repeat blue or 2 on {{hb|2|c=}} (which gives no new information on the target)
# {{hr|1}} trash bluff (which protects {{hy|4}} for one extra turn)
both options are low in value and not enough context for Bob to know that their slot 1 was unplayable.

{{pill|But why would Alice skip Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix or the {{hg|5|n=}} save?|#afa|#cfc}}

Just one example is enough to show that Bob should discard with a playable slot 1:
With {{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} the team will wait for {{hr|2}} discard so that they can clue red to splash a valuable {{hm|2}}.

From Alice's view there was also low urgency to clue {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} since {{hy|2}} / {{hr|3}} were not visible.

However in the game there were only two valid bluff targets available:
# repeat blue or 2 on {{hb|2|c=}} (which gives no new information on the target)
# {{hr|1}} trash bluff (which protects {{hy|4}} for one extra turn)
both options are low in value and not enough context for Bob to know that their slot 1 was playable.

{{pill|But why would Alice skip Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix or the {{hg|5|n=}} save?|#afa|#cfc}}

Just one example is enough to show that Bob should discard with a playable slot 1:
With {{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} the team will wait for {{hr|2}} discard so that they can clue red to splash a valuable {{hm|2}}.

From Alice's view there was also low urgency to clue {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} since {{hy|2}} / {{hr|3}} were not visible.

{{hPlay|4steps=
|note1={{text|Alice to Cathy: this card is a 3.|#f4f4f4|x=5|y=5}}

Alice skips Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix to encourage Bob's first discard of the game.

Since there is high trust, the unnecessary loss of {{hy|1}} earlier means Bob holds at least one other copy of {{hy|1}}.
|note2=Bob discards {{hr|2}}. Again since there is high trust, Bob knows they must hold the other copy of {{hr|2}} as well.
|note3=Cathy plays {{hg|2|c=}}.

Donald discards {{hy|4}}.

Emily discards {{hw|4}}.
|note4={{text|Alice to Emily: these three cards are 5s.|#f4f4f4|x=5|y=5}}

Alice saves {{hg|5|n=}} because they think Bob knows to play {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}}, Cathy will play {{hg|3|c=|n=}} and Donald has no non-trash cards that can't be saved.

Note this encourages:
* play of {{hg|3|c=|n=}} {{s:)}} but with {{hk|4}} on chop {{s:(}}
* discard of trash {{hr|1}} {{s:)}} and future discard of duplicate {{hm|3}} {{s:)}}
* discard of {{hy|3}} {{s:(}} and potentially locking Emily's hand {{s:(}}
If Alice instead discards, Cathy could save {{hg|5}} and Emily may gain something to clue in Alice's hand, turning all {{s:(}} into {{s:)}}.
|note5={{pill|However does Bob really know if any of their slots can be safely played?|#faa|#fcc}}

Assuming {{hy|1}} and {{hr|2}} were in Bob's starting hand, the possible combinations were:

{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}

{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}

where {{hk}} is any card, for example an unplayable {{hm|2}}.

{{pill|Can Bob narrow down the possibilities?|#faa|#fcc}}

If there were just one more piece of contextual information to reduce the possible slot positions, such as a nice {{hm|2}} bluff target that went unused while {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} was in slot 1 of the starting hand, then the only possibilities that remain would be:
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
and so after {{hr|2}} discard then slots 3 and 4 must be playable.
However in the game there were only two valid bluff targets available:
# repeat blue or 2 on {{hb|2|c=}} (which gives no new information on the target)
# {{hr|1}} trash bluff (which protects {{hy|4}} for one extra turn)
both options are low in value and not enough context for Bob to know that their slot 1 was unplayable.

{{pill|But why would Alice skip Bob with the {{hg|3|c=|n=}} fix or the {{hg|5|n=}} save?|#afa|#cfc}}

Just one example is enough to show that Bob should discard with a playable slot 1:
With {{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|1}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}} the team will wait for {{hr|2}} discard so that they can clue red to splash a valuable {{hm|2}}.

From Alice's view there was also low urgency to clue {{hy|1}} / {{hr|2}} since {{hy|2}} / {{hr|3}} were not visible.

Sammy McSam: Undo last edit + clarification for discard clue. Note to editors: 'Known trash clue' ≠ 'Discard clue'. Some known trash clues cause plays instead of discards.

{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hw|5|n=}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hr|4}}{{hy|3}}{{hr|4}}{{hw|2}} |Cathy 🡲}}

Bob knows that there is only one 5 of each color in the deck, so all 5s need to be marked to keep them from being discarded. Bob sees Cathy's oldest card is {{hw|2}} and checks the discard pile to see if he needs to save it from being discarded. There is already a {{hw|2}} in the discard pile and Bob knows there are only two 2s of each color, so Cathy has the last remaining {{hw|2}} and Bob must save it.

Bob to Cathy: "This card is a 2."

Good job, Bob.

{{cardholder|{{hr|2}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hw|5|n=}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hr|4}}{{hy|3}}{{hr|4}}{{hw|2|n=}} |Cathy 🡲}}

Cathy looks at the played cards to see if 2s are all playable. The {{hw|1}} has not been played yet, so she cannot be sure it is playable yet. Next, Cathy looks at the discard pile to see if there is a 2 in the discard pile. There is a {{hw|2}} discarded, so she interprets this number clue marking her oldest card as a save clue to prevent her from discarding it. Nice one, Cathy.}}

== Gameplay Using Finesse Conventions ==

==== Receiving Clues ====

Check visible cards, including played and discarded, to determine the focus and the meaning of a clue.
<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Example A: you are given a '''2''' clue. You see {{hr|2}} was played and the second {{hr|2}} is in another hand. Therefore the clue means "2s which are not red".</li>
<li>Example B: 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".</li>
</ul>

==== Giving Clues ====

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>'''Don't mark trash cards''' (see Good Touch Principle).</li>
<li>Save critical cards as priority.</li>
<ul>
<li>Look ahead for critical cards on chop. ''Sometimes more than one player must help to save consecutive critical cards.''</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>With few {{Hclue|s=1}}, work out which players need them.</li>
<li>Consider how the receiver can interpret your clue.</li>
</ul>

==== Discarding ====

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Trust your teammates to manage your cards.
<li>When there is nothing urgent to clue, don't be afraid to discard! Discarding is often the best move for the team.
</ul>

==== Playing ====

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>When multiple cards are marked, determine the focused card. ''Each clue only has one focused card.''
<li>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)''.
</ul>

==== Triggering the final round ====

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Sometimes a specific player should draw the last card to maximize the score.
<li>Giving empty clues (e.g., "You have no red card") can help to manage which player draws the last card.
</ul>

{{infoBox |maxWidth=650 |state=collapsed
|title=Last Card Example
|body={{hTable|5|5|3|4|5|d=1}} {{hclue|4}}

{{cardholder|{{hr|3}}{{hy|1}}{{hg|1}}{{hb|5|n=|c=}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hg|2}}{{hr|1}}{{hg|4|n=|c=}}{{hg|5|n=|c=}} |Cathy 🡲}}

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Alice and Bob both give empty clues. e.g., Alice to Cathy: "You have no white card."
<li>Cathy plays {{hg|4}} and draws the last card.
<li>Alice discards, Bob plays {{hb|5}} and Cathy plays {{hg|5}}.
</ul>
}}

<li>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VzgN6WoeYwh5NYtHECzUNZqFvpVcg-EdObU-YNMlyhc Romain's Google doc].
</ul>

== 2 Player Strategy ==

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Saves are given as late as possible.
<li>Off-chop saves for consecutive critical cards.
<li>Double discards can be avoided with a stall clue.
<li>Last {{Hclue|s=1}} is reserved to mark a critical or playable chop.
<li>Playable first copies are clued.
<li>Splash critical and already-marked trash cards.
<li>Play in clued order.
<li>Before playing, consider marking a connecting chop card.
<li>Scream discard = save the chop card (and move chop one slot to the left).
<li>Flamboyants: Consider not locking a hand with a 5 save.
<li>Avalanche: Any card can be multicolor. e.g. wait for negative multicolor on a {{hr|5|c=|n=}} before playing as {{hr|5|c=|n=}}.
<li>Avalanche: Playable cards marked with both color and number play first.
<li>Black Powder: {{hk|1}} is only marked on chop unless all other 1s (or {{hk|2}}) are already clued/played.
</ul>

==== Early game ====

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Avoid discarding until at least {{Hclue|s=1.2|3}} are used.
<li>With multiple marked unknown 1s in your hand, consider first playing your 1s or marking 1s individually with color.
<li>Non-critical 2s / {{hk|4}} can be marked with number.
</ul>

==== Alternative Strategy ====

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>'''Any card may be saved''', including non-critical cards.
<li>Cards marked with a number are only splashed with color:
<ul>
<li>If a previously unmarked card is playable.
<li>As a stall clue.
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

== Other Convention Sets ==

==== Finesse Additional Skip Interpretation ====

{{warn|This convention prevents discard management, finesse with number, layered finesse}}
An additional convention is that skipped player(s) cannot discard. i.e., Alice can clue Cathy only if Bob has a play or can give another useful clue. If a skipped player has no marked playable cards and no good clue to give, they must blind play their newest, unmarked card. A clue-giver who causes unmarked play(s) purely from a skip is responsible for any misinterpretation.

{{infoBoxes
|maxWidth=650
|state=collapsed
|title1=Skipped Players Cannot Discard Example
|body1=Alice skips Bob to give Cathy a '''1''' clue.

{{hTable}}

{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hy|2}}{{hw|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|2}}{{hr|1|n=}}{{hb|2}}{{hg|4}} |Cathy 🡲}}

Bob has no clue to give and no known play, so he blind plays his newest unmarked card. {{hy|1}} does not connect to {{hBack|1|n=}}, so Cathy interprets Bob's move as a skip play and plays {{hr|1|n=}}.

|title2=Forbidden Skip Example
|body2=Alice skips Bob to give Cathy a '''3''' clue.

{{hTable|2}}

{{cardholder|{{hy|1}}{{hy|2}}{{hw|2}}{{hr|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|2}}{{hr|3|n=}}{{hb|2}}{{hr|1}} |Cathy 🡲}}

Bob has no clue to give and no known play, so he blind plays his newest unmarked card. In this convention, {{hy|1}} does not connect to {{hBack|3|n=}}, so Cathy interprets as a bluff and her {{hBack|3|n=}} is not playable.
This is a lie because {{hr|3|n=}} is playable. So Alice is forbidden from giving this clue. Instead, Alice should have discarded and allowed Bob to clue Cathy so that she knows her {{hr|3|n=}} is playable.
}}

==== H-Group ====

Some key differences include:
<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>non-critical saves
<li>chop-focused play clues
<li>context-dependent chop moves
<li>number play clues are assumed to be a lie (bluff) over truth (finesse).

== <div style="background:linear-gradient(45deg,#aff,#cfd,#fff0 40rem);padding:.25rem .5rem;border-top-left-radius:.5rem;">Interpretation</div> ==

In order to play cooperatively, we need to mark playable cards to get them to play at the correct time.
To maximise cooperation, we need to be able to predict the possible moves of other players.
The cost of being able to predict moves is to limit the number of moves
*If a card is playable, logically we assume it will be marked by a clue before it is discarded (unless there is another copy visible).

== <div style="background:linear-gradient(45deg,#aff,#cfd,#fff0 40rem);padding:.25rem .5rem;border-top-left-radius:.5rem;">Extraction</div> ==

It is possible to extract a card that is 'blocked' by an unplayable card using two clues.
# Clue the target with '''colour'''.
# Clue the target with '''number'''.

{{infoBoxes3 |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title1=Example 1: avalanche
|body1={{hTable||1||||m=}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|5}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hg|5}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|2}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* Avalanche of colors option is on, so multicolour cards are marked by '''any colour clue'''.
* Cathy's {{hy|2}} should play before it is discarded.
* The focus of a 2 clue on its own will be {{hm|2}} and the focus of a yellow clue will also be {{hm|2}}.

* Alice to Cathy: these 2 cards are yellow.

{{hTable||1||||m=}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|5}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hg|5}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2|{{y}}|1|1|c=}}{{hy|2|c=}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* Bob to Cathy: these 2 cards are 2s - this fix clue changes the focus from the left 2 to the other 2.

{{hTable||1||||m=}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|5}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hg|5}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2|{{y}}|1|1|n=|c=}}{{hy|2|n=|c=}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* ''Note: if a multicolour card is the intended target of a play clue, the clearest clue would be a colour that does not splash any other card.''

}}

Since black powder can't be clued with colour, extraction is a little different:
# Clue the target with '''number'''.
# Clue the card to the '''left of the target''' with '''colour'''.
{{infoBox |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title=Example 4: black powder
|body={{hTable|k=3}}

: extract {{hk|2}}:
# '''Alice''' to Cathy: these 3 cards are 2s.
#* Focus is '''left'''.

# '''Bob''' to '''Cathy''': this card is red.
#* Changes focus from left to '''right'''.
#:{{cardholder|{{HBack|2|{{y}}|n=}}{{HBack|2|{{r}}|n=|c=}}{{HBack|2|n=}}{{HBack}} |Cathy 🡲}} {{cardholder|{{hy|2|n=}}{{hr|2|n=|c=}}{{hk|2|n=}}{{hk}} |Cathy 🡲}}
}}

=== Why extraction works ===

# '''Alice''' gives a white '''colour''' clue to indicate to Bob that she is giving a '''play clue''' to Cathy.
# '''Bob''' has one job: don't let Cathy bomb. He sees that one of Cathy's marked white cards is playable, so he understands that he just has to help Cathy play the correct card:
* If the '''leftmost''' white card is '''playable''', Bob does not need to do anything.
* If the '''leftmost''' white card is '''not playable''', Bob needs to help with a follow-up '''''fix''''' clue.

=== Why colour before number? ===

* In each colour, only one card can be playable (two with avalanche), whereas there can be many playable cards of a certain number. So Alice singles out one colour to help Bob know her intention is for him to help Cathy play the correct card.
* A colour clue can mark a '''chop card''' without looking like a save.

=== How do I know it's not a finesse? ===

* The leftmost card may be 1-away-from-playable.
But if Bob can see that one of the cards Alice marked with colour is playable, he will prefer to give a '''fix clue''' and '''not blind play his finesse position'''.
* As Bob, consider the choice of clue:
** if Alice wanted to finesse 2b with a playable 1m in front, why skip players to give specifically a blue clue (why not another colour or number)?
** if Alice wanted to finesse 4k with a playable 4r in front, why skip players to give specficially a 4 clue (why not red)?

=== The everlasting exception: context ===

'''Context''' > '''convention''' and ''can cause an unconventional move!''

Think carefully about:
# timing (why now?),
# negative clues (e.g. "not red"),
# recently discarded cards,
# unique cards,
# tokens needed for saves or other plays

* Alice clues 4s to Cathy. How should Bob respond?
{{InfoBoxes |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background1=green |background2=rebeccapurple
|title1=Answer
|body1=
With no context, the interpretation falls to the fewest blind plays: i.e. prefer to play the marked {{HBack|5|{{y}}|c=}} as {{hy|3}} rather than slot 1 as {{hk|5}}.

|title2=What context could change this interpretation?
|body2=
Some possible answers:
# Bob has negative 3.
# Bob had {{hy|2|c=}} which was marked with number 2 instead of a number 3 fix, and either:
## Bob did not discard what would have been a trash 3
## {{hy|4}} was discarded when it could have easily been marked to prompt {{hy|3}}

[https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/250619-1450/?table=694442815&player=84994396&comments=84994396;&goto=22 In this game] the context was 2.1: [https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/250619-1450/?table=694442815&player=84994396&comments=84994396;&goto=22 On move 23] a fix clue was given with number 2 instead of 3, Bob can know that their {{HBack|5|{{y}}|c=}} is not {{hy|3}} (else the fix should be 3¹, not 2).
This is why it is important for each player to pay attention to how their own cards are fixed (and what cards they discard afterwards).

¹Note that there are no trash 3s at this point. If there were at least one trash 3 (e.g. {{hw|3}} were played or already marked somewhere), Bob should only make this conclusion after discarding his unmarked card, to check that a 3 fix was not given due to bad touch.

In order to play cooperatively, we need to mark playable cards to get them to play at the correct time.
To maximise cooperation, we need to be able to predict the possible moves of other players.
The cost of being able to predict moves is to limit the number of moves
*If a card is playable, logically we assume it will be marked by a clue before it is discarded (unless there is another copy visible).

== <div style="background:linear-gradient(45deg,#aff,#cfd,#fff0 40rem);padding:.25rem .5rem;border-top-left-radius:.5rem;">Extraction</div> ==

It is possible to extract a card that is 'blocked' by an unplayable card using two clues.
# Clue the target with '''colour'''.
# Clue the target with '''number'''.

{{infoBoxes3 |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088
|title1=Example 1: avalanche
|body1={{hTable||1||||m=}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|5}}{{hy|4}}{{hr|3}}{{hg|5}} |Bob 🡲}}
{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2}}{{hy|2}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* Avalanche of colors option is on, so multicolour cards are marked by '''any colour clue'''.
* Cathy's {{hy|2}} should play before it is discarded.
* The focus of a 2 clue on its own will be {{hm|2}} and the focus of a yellow clue will also be {{hm|2}}.

* Alice to Cathy: these 2 cards are yellow.

{{hTable||1||||m=}}

{{cardholder|{{hw|4}}{{hg|4}}{{hm|2|{{y}}|1|1|c=}}{{hy|2|c=}} |Cathy 🡲}}

* Bob to Cathy: these 2 cards are 2s - this fix clue changes the focus from the left 2 to the other 2.

{{hTable||1||||m=}}

}}

Since black powder can't be clued with colour, extraction is a little different:
# Clue the target with '''number'''.
# Clue the card to the '''left of the target''' with '''colour'''.
{{infoBox |state=collapsed |titleAlign=left |background=#088

}}

=== Why extraction works ===

# '''Alice''' gives a white '''colour''' clue to indicate to Bob that she is giving a '''play clue''' to Cathy.
# '''Bob''' has one job: don't let Cathy bomb. He sees that one of Cathy's marked white cards is playable, so he understands that he just has to help Cathy play the correct card:
* If the '''leftmost''' white card is '''playable''', Bob does not need to do anything.
* If the '''leftmost''' white card is '''not playable''', Bob needs to help with a follow-up '''''fix''''' clue.

=== Why colour before number? ===

* In each colour, only one card can be playable (two with avalanche), whereas there can be many playable cards of a certain number. So Alice singles out one colour to help Bob know her intention is for him to help Cathy play the correct card.
* A colour clue can mark a '''chop card''' without looking like a save.

=== How do I know it's not a finesse? ===

* The leftmost card may be 1-away-from-playable.
But if Bob can see that one of the cards Alice marked with colour is playable, he will prefer to give a '''fix clue''' and '''not blind play his finesse position'''.
* As Bob, consider the choice of clue:
** if Alice wanted to finesse 2b with a playable 1m in front, why skip players to give specifically a blue clue (why not another colour or number)?
** if Alice wanted to finesse 4k with a playable 4r in front, why skip players to give specficially a 4 clue (why not red)?

=== The everlasting exception: context ===

'''Context''' > '''convention''' and ''can cause an unconventional move!''

Think carefully about:
# timing (why now?),
# negative clues (e.g. "not red"),
# recently discarded cards,
# unique cards,
# tokens needed for saves or other plays

With no context, the interpretation falls to the fewest blind plays: i.e. prefer to play the marked {{HBack|5|{{y}}|c=}} as {{hy|3}} rather than slot 1 as {{hk|5}}.

|body2=
Some possible answers:
# Bob has negative 3.
# Bob had {{hy|2|c=}} which was marked with number 2 instead of a number 3 fix, and either:
## Bob did not discard what would have been a trash 3
## {{hy|4}} was discarded when it could have easily been marked to prompt {{hy|3}}

This is why it is important for each player to pay attention to how their own cards are fixed (and what cards they discard afterwards).

¹Note that there are no trash 3s at this point. If there were at least one trash 3 (e.g. {{hw|3}} were played or already marked somewhere), Bob should only make this conclusion after discarding his unmarked card, to check that a 3 fix was not given due to bad touch.

* Tyrion to Kaznaka: these 2 cards are green.

'''The interpretation of a 4 clue is not clear to all players'''

{{hg|3|c=}} can play on its own given enough context (negative multi is enough here), so even after {{hg|3|c=}} plays, a 4 clue on its own will lead to a save misinterpretation if the receiver does not have one of the following context:
:a) all critical 4 ({{hr|4}} and {{hg|4}}) are visible
:b) negative critical colour ({{card|r|color={{w}}|background={{r}}}} and {{card|g|color={{w}}|background={{g}}}})
:c) negative critical chop (i.e. while {{hr|4}} and {{hg|4}} were discarded, the chop card was not saved)
Notice how:
:a) depends on information in other hands which is hidden from at least one player.
:b) and c) depend on information in the same hand which is available to all players.

If all the critical 4s were playable, the receiver will play their rightmost 4 as {{hr|4}} / {{hg|4}} and after {{hw|4}} plays, they understand the 4 clue was not a save and in fact a left-focused play clue and go on to play their left 4 too as a bonus.

The problem in this game is that {{hr|4}} is not playable so the team cannot wait to give a clear play clue due to {{hm|5}} on chop.

So every player is unsure if an extra clue is required to avoid {{hm|5}} discard because they could hold {{hr|4}} which would make ({{hw|4}} and) {{hg|4}} play.

'''The interpretation of a green clue is clear to all players'''

Since a 4 clue on its own may or may not be enough to play {{hg|4}}, colour takes away the save interpretation entirely and simplifies the thought process of every player.

Every player understands that MrGrogu must prevent {{hm|5}} bombing as {{hg|4}} (or {{hm|2}}) now.
If MrGrogu decided a fix clue is required but discards assuming Kaznaka will save {{cardholder|{{hm|1}}{{hy|5|n=}}{{hb|3}}{{hr|5|n=}} |Feen 🡲}}
, this would be a blunder since MrGrogu's hand (e.g. {{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|3}}{{hw|5}}{{hk|1}} |MrGrogu 🡲}}) could require Feen to begin a triple save and Kaznaka would be free to bomb {{hm|5|{{g}}|c=}}.

'''From MrGrogu pov'''

Either must play for {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} or give a fix for {{hg|4}} now.

Context of g (or w) clue:
# Fix {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{g}}|c=}}{{hg|4|c=|n=}}{{hy|4|n=}}{{hw|4|n=}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} = 0 blind plays
# Play {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} = 3 blind plays

Convention is the fewest number of blind plays from your hand is the correct interpretation.

Imagine instead of {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{g}}|c=}}{{hg|4|c=}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} we had {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{y}}|c=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4|c=}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}}.

Context of y clue:
# Play {{hy|3}} + fix {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{y}}|c=}}{{hg|4|n=}}{{hy|4|c=|n=}}{{hw|4|n=}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} = 1 blind play
# Play {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} = 3 blind plays

We all agree that a y clue clearly demands a blind play.

Hypothetically if MrGrogu played a {{hy|3}}, what would MrGrogu do next round?
Go on to play for {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} or give a fix {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{y}}|c=}}{{hg|4|n=}}{{hy|4|c=|n=}}{{hw|4|n=}} |Kaznaka 🡲}}?

Why should the question of giving a fix on g+4 be any different to y+4?

For a {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} finesse, the best clue choices would be {{cardholder|{{hm|5|n=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} / {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{b}}|c=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} / {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{r}}|c=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}}.

'''The timing of the clue is good'''

From the clue-giver's point of view:
* apart from MrGrogu's hand every card they see is either trash or 5
* any of their cards could be non-trash, so it makes sense to give a clue and encourage all non-busy players to discard.
Because the timing of g clue (rather than discard) is otherwise unnecessary as has been pointed out, giving the clue now communicates to all other players more subtle information:
* there are no non-trash cards that we can't guarantee marking
* my hand (also mostly trash as it turns out) is more important than the cards I see

The benefits if we agree that MrGrogu must give a fix clue:
* their playable {{hk|5}} remains in finesse position while other hands draw new potential bluff targets
* the discard of the only other useful card in any hand ({{hk|2}}) is delayed

Bob knows Emily will bomb {{hm|1|{{r}}|c=}} as {{hr|2}} unless he responds.
|note2=Bob blind plays {{hy|1}} which does not connect to red, so a bluff has been revealed to every player.

Bob's blind play reveals that {{hm|1|{{r}}|c=}} is not playable, so Cathy understands that she must hold {{hm|1|n=}}.

Cathy also understands that for Emily to know {{hm|1|{{r}}|c=}} is trash, either Emily can see all {{hr|1}} (impossible) or Cathy holds {{hr|1|n=}}.
|note3=Cathy does not see {{hk|1}} so Cathy plays {{hm|1|n=}} before {{hr|1|n=}}.

Emily knows that if {{hm|1|{{r}}|c=}} were any non-trash card, all blind plays must wait for Cathy's {{hm|1|n=}} or {{hr|1|n=}}.

So Emily will discard {{hm|1|{{r}}|c=}} as trash.

* Tyrion to Kaznaka: these 2 cards are green.

'''The interpretation of a 4 clue is not clear to all players'''

{{hg|3|c=}} can play on its own given enough context (negative multi is enough here), so even after {{hg|3|c=}} plays, a 4 clue on its own will lead to a save misinterpretation if the receiver does not have one of the following context:
:a) all critical 4 ({{hr|4}} and {{hg|4}}) are visible
:b) negative critical colour ({{card|r|color={{w}}|background={{r}}}} and {{card|g|color={{w}}|background={{g}}}})
:c) negative critical chop (i.e. while {{hr|4}} and {{hg|4}} were discarded, the chop card was not saved)
Notice how:
:a) depends on information in other hands which is hidden from at least one player.
:b) and c) depend on information in the same hand which is available to all players.

If all the critical 4s were playable, the receiver will play their rightmost 4 as {{hr|4}} / {{hg|4}} and after {{hw|4}} plays, they understand the 4 clue was not a save and in fact a left-focused play clue and go on to play their left 4 too as a bonus.

The problem in this game is that {{hr|4}} is not playable so the team cannot wait to give a clear play clue due to {{hm|5}} on chop.

So every player is unsure if an extra clue is required to avoid {{hm|5}} discard because they could hold {{hr|4}} which would make ({{hw|4}} and) {{hg|4}} play.

'''The interpretation of a green clue is clear to all players'''

Since a 4 clue on its own may or may not be enough to play {{hg|4}}, colour takes away the save interpretation entirely and simplifies the thought process of every player.

Every player understands that MrGrogu must prevent {{hm|5}} bombing as {{hg|4}} (or {{hm|2}}) now.
If MrGrogu decided a fix clue is required but discards assuming Kaznaka will save {{cardholder|{{hm|1}}{{hy|5|n=}}{{hb|3}}{{hr|5|n=}} |Feen 🡲}}
, this would be a blunder since MrGrogu's hand (e.g. {{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hr|3}}{{hw|5}}{{hk|1}} |MrGrogu 🡲}}) could require Feen to begin a triple save and Kaznaka would be free to bomb {{hm|5|{{g}}|c=}}.

'''From MrGrogu pov'''

Either must play for {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} or give a fix for {{hg|4}} now.

Context of g (or w) clue:
# Fix {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{g}}|c=}}{{hg|4|c=|n=}}{{hy|4|n=}}{{hw|4|n=}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} = 0 blind plays
# Play {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} = 3 blind plays

Convention is the fewest number of blind plays from your hand is the correct interpretation.

Imagine instead of {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{g}}|c=}}{{hg|4|c=}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} we had {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{y}}|c=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4|c=}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}}.

Context of y clue:
# Play {{hy|3}} + fix {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{y}}|c=}}{{hg|4|n=}}{{hy|4|c=|n=}}{{hw|4|n=}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} = 1 blind play
# Play {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} = 3 blind plays

We all agree that a y clue clearly demands a blind play.

Hypothetically if MrGrogu played a {{hy|3}}, what would MrGrogu do next round?
Go on to play for {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} or give a fix {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{y}}|c=}}{{hg|4|n=}}{{hy|4|c=|n=}}{{hw|4|n=}} |Kaznaka 🡲}}?

Why should the question of giving a fix on g+4 be any different to y+4?

For a {{hm|2}} {{hm|3}} {{hm|4}} finesse, the best clue choices would be {{cardholder|{{hm|5|n=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} / {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{b}}|c=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}} / {{cardholder|{{hm|5|{{r}}|c=}}{{hg|4}}{{hy|4}}{{hw|4}} |Kaznaka 🡲}}.

'''The timing of the clue is good'''

From the clue-giver's point of view:
* apart from MrGrogu's hand every card they see is either trash or 5
* any of their cards could be non-trash, so it makes sense to give a clue and encourage all non-busy players to discard.
Because the timing of g clue (rather than discard) is otherwise unnecessary as has been pointed out, giving the clue now communicates to all other players more subtle information:
* there are no non-trash cards that we can't guarantee marking
* my hand (also mostly trash as it turns out) is more important than the cards I see

The benefits if we agree that MrGrogu must give a fix clue:
* their playable {{hk|5}} remains in finesse position while other hands draw new potential bluff targets
* the discard of the only other useful card in any hand ({{hk|2}}) is delayed

* Bob acknowledges the white clue and continues to look for {{hy|2}} because {{hw|1}} '''can be inside the {{hy|2}} layered finesse'''.
* Cathy sees a playable {{hw|2}} in Bob's hand, so she could hold {{hw|3}}.
}}

* Bob blind plays his 2nd slot for {{hy|2}} and {{hw|1}} successfully plays.
* Cathy and Alice discard.
* Bob blind plays his 3rd slot {{hy|2}}.
* Cathy plays {{hy|3|c=}}.

* Since Bob knows the white clue is a layered finesse, he must keep looking for {{hw|2}} before he can start looking for {{hr|1}} because {{hr|1}} '''can be inside the {{hw|2}} layered finesse''':
{{cardholder|{{hk}}{{hk}}{{hr|1}}{{hw|2}} |Bob 🡲}}
* So Alice cannot bluff a player who is already in the middle of responding to a finesse if it can be layered.
{{cardholder|{{hr|1}}{{hk}}{{hw|2}}{{hk}} |Bob 🡲}}
}}

* Bob knows the white clue cannot be a bluff because Cathy would not discard unless she sees a playable {{hw|2}} in Bob's hand.
* So Bob knows he is promised {{hw|2}} and keeps playing each slot from his now '''3rd slot''' left to right until his {{hw|2}} is played.

Example with a player (Bob) between the clue giver (Alice) and first response (Cathy):

* Alice clues {{hy|4|c=}}
* Bob does something unrelated
* Cathy plays {{hy|1}}
* Donald plays {{hk|3}} as {{hy|2}}
* Emily now has {{hy|3}} marked in their slot 1

{{pill|Q: Why isn't it a layered finesse? (i.e. must keep playing cards until they find {{hy|2}} ?)|#faa|#fcc}}
