Taking back one card 'for free' lets gives you more possibilities later in the game, which is really good.

	Knowing which players should do that is really hard, and you need to understand most of the advanced mechanic for knowing that.

	Before the anticipation card, it can still be used with more than one player. The higher probability to go on the 4 for one player should be the highest probability to be catch at one place for another player. Good luck for calculate that :D		Before the anticipation card, it can still be used with more than one player.
