== Overview ==
 
* Hanabi is a cooperative game. Your goal, as a team, is to build a fabulous fireworks show.
* You have to put together fireworks by playing each individual colour ''(red, yellow, green, blue and white)'' in series (1 ⇨ 2 ⇨ 3 ⇨ 4 ⇨ 5).
* Each colour in the deck has {{card|1}}{{card|1}}{{card|1}}, {{card|2}}{{card|2}}, {{card|3}}{{card|3}}, {{card|4}}{{card|4}}, {{card|5}}.
* You cannot see your own cards; you can only see the cards of your teammates.
* You can only communicate with your teammates via '''clues''', '''playing''' and '''discarding''' cards (see below).
* No other communication is allowed.

</div>
 
== Game play ==
 
Players take turns to either:
 
* Give a '''clue'''
* '''Play''' a card, or
* '''Discard''' a card
 
=== Clue ===
 
Possible with at least {{Hclue|1|size=1.5}} available:
* '''All''' cards of a colour, or
* '''All''' cards of a number, or
* '''No''' cards of a colour, ''e.g. "'''Player1''' to '''Player2''': you have no red card"'' or
* '''No''' cards of a number ''e.g. "'''Player1''' to '''Player2''': you have no 5"''
 
# The active player selects a card in another player's hand.
# The active player selects a clue option.
# {{Hclue|1|size=1.5}} is moved from 'available' to 'used'.
 
=== Play ===
 
# The active player selects a card in their hand.
# The active player selects the 'Play selected card' button.
#* If the played card fits in any of the sequences, it is placed in the appropriate colour stack on the table.
#* If the played card does not fit, it is placed in the discard pile and the team gets a ''misfire'' token.
# A replacement card is drawn.
 
=== Discard ===
 
Possible with fewer than {{Hclue|8|size=1.5}} available:
# The active player selects a card in their hand.
# The active player selects the 'Discard selected card' button.
# The discarded card is placed in the discard pile.
# {{Hclue|1|size=1.5}} is moved from 'used' to 'available'.
# A replacement card is drawn.
 
== Game end ==
 
The game can end in several ways:
* All cards have been drawn from the deck. After this happens, each player has one more turn. The game ends with the score after the last turn.
* Your team played all possible cards. In this case, the game ends immediately.
* Your team made three mistakes that caused misfires. In this case, all players lose the game and receive -10 ELO points.
* Your team concedes the game. All players receive -10 ELO points.
* A player quits the game. Only the player that quit first receives -10 ELO points. All other players' ELO is unchanged.
 
== Conventions ==
 
* There are not enough {{Hclue|size=1}} to clue both colour and number of every played card, so the team must agree on a set of clue, play and discard interpretations, known as a convention.
* Many players use different conventions and if teammates have very different clue interpretations, the game becomes unsuccessful.
* Read about some of the most common conventions in '''[https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26863 this forum post]''' by [https://boardgamearena.com/player?id=84207926 Romain672].
''Note: the BGA list of conventions does not cover all conventions, so please respect the convention the table creator wants to play. This is why there is an option to display the convention for the table.''
 
=== Finesse ===
 
Players assume:
* Every marked card will be playable at some point.
* The oldest, unmarked (chop) card is safe to discard.
* Cards known to be trash are discarded in priority ''e.g. cards marked blue when the blue stack is completed.''
* Play clues may also include the '''newest, unmarked''' cards in every hand.
 
==== Save clue ====
 
* A (number) clue that marks a (unique) chop card¹.
* Focus is the chop card.
 
¹''Exception: 2 player game with 2+ consecutive saves.''
 
==== Play clue ====
 
* A clue that does not mark a (unique) chop card¹.
* Focus is the newest card.
Priority:
# Lead to plays in other hands.
# Lower rank.
 
==== Fix clue ====
 
* A follow-up clue on the same hand as an initial play clue.
* Required to change the focus (and prevent a misfire).
 
==== Bad clue ====
 
* Tell a lie ''e.g. a clue that marks {{Hr|2}} as playable without the required {{Hr|1}}.''
* Mark unknown trash or duplicate cards ''e.g. mark '''4'''s in another hand when your hand could have a copy of that '''4'''.''
 
==== Marked card discard ====
 
If a non-trash marked card is discarded it means:
* A copy of that card is already marked in someone else's hand (''sarcastic discard''); or
* A copy of that card must be marked in a future save clue (use with caution); or
* An unmarked copy of that card is playable (''gentleman's discard'')
 
==== Examples ====

{{cardholder|{{Hr|4}}{{Hy|3}}{{Hr|4}}{{Hw|2}} |Cathy 🡲}}
 
* Alice to Bob: this card is a 5.

{{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 colour 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 colour, 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|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.

* Bob does not see the connecting {{Hb|1}}, so assumes he has to play it now.

* Before Bob played, Cathy thought her marked card was {{Hb|1}}.
* After Bob plays, Cathy knows her marked card is another valuable blue card.

=== Layered Finesse ===
 
Players assume:
* BGA Finesse convention above.
* Finessed cards can be layered behind other unrelated, but playable cards.
 
==== Examples ====

{{cardholder|{{Hr|2}}{{Hy|2}}{{Hb|1}}{{Hg|1}} |Cathy 🡲}}
 
* Bob sees a playable {{Hb|1}} in Cathy's hand, layered behind other playable cards {{Hr|2}} and {{Hy|2}}.
* Bob discards and Cathy blind plays for {{Hb|1}}. {{Hr|2}} successfully plays.
* Cathy knows this cannot be a bluff because Bob would not discard unless he sees a playable {{Hb|1}} in Cathy's hand.
* So Cathy knows she is promised {{Hb|1}} and keeps playing each slot from left to right until her {{Hb|1}} is played.

== Chat ==
 
* It is against the rules of the game to share information that influences a player's move beyond the game actions of cluing, playing, or discarding.
* Even a single question mark sent in chat can influence the decisions of all players. e.g. a missed finesse or some other unexpected move.
* This is why it is best to wait until the end of the game to discuss moves.
 
== ELO rating ==
 
'''[https://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewtopic.php?t=33785 Rating is visibly hidden around tables]''' with the 7 distinct ELO skill levels:
: {{Beginner}} {{Apprentice}} {{Average}} {{Good}} {{Strong}} {{Expert}} {{Master}}.
 
# '''''Hanabot''''''s ELO is generated from:
#* Final score¹
#* Average team ELO
#* Colour option²
# ELO change is calculated as if tied with Hanabot.
 
'''''[https://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4814 Hanabots' ELO ratings]''' were set by an experienced player - i.e. ratings are not random or simply proportional to score or players' ELO.''
 
¹''Hanabot's ELO = 0 with scores < 18 (5 colours) and < 21 (6 colours).''
 
²''+5 card multicolor option is unrated (too dependent on draw to reflect skill).''
