Interpretation

Prompt + Layered finesse

2026-01-01 Forum post

  • Alice to Cathy: these 2 cards are yellow.

red,with a redclue, yellow,with a yellowclue, green,with a greenclue, blue,with a blueclue, white,with a whiteclue, white1,with a white1clue,yellow2,with a yellow2clue,red4,with a red4clue,yellow1,with a yellow1clue, Bob 🡲 green4,with a green4clue,blue4,with a blue4clue,yellow3,with a yellow3clue,yellow5,with a yellow5clue, Cathy 🡲

  • Bob plays yellow1,with a yellow1clue,.
  • Cathy sees yellow2,with a yellow2clue, is layered behind a playable white1,with a white1clue,, so she could hold yellow3,with a yellow3clue,.
  • Cathy discards to see if Bob tries to play yellow2,with a yellow2clue, next turn.

red,with a redclue, yellow1,with a yellow1clue, green,with a greenclue, blue,with a blueclue, white,with a whiteclue, white2,with a white2clue,white1,with a white1clue,yellow2,with a yellow2clue,red4,with a red4clue, Bob 🡲 white3,with a white3clue,green4,with a green4clue,yellow3,with a yellow3clue,yellow5,with a yellow5clue, Cathy 🡲

Alice clues white
  • Alice to Cathy: this card is white.

red,with a redclue, yellow1,with a yellow1clue, green,with a greenclue, blue,with a blueclue, white,with a whiteclue, white2,with a white2clue,white1,with a white1clue,yellow2,with a yellow2clue,red4,with a red4clue, Bob 🡲 white3,with a white3clue,green4,with a green4clue,yellow3,with a yellow3clue,yellow5,with a yellow5clue, Cathy 🡲

  • Bob acknowledges the white clue and continues to look for yellow2,with a yellow2clue, because white1,with a white1clue, can be inside the yellow2,with a yellow2clue, layered finesse.
  • Cathy sees a playable white2,with a white2clue, in Bob's hand, so she could hold white3,with a white3clue,.
  • Bob blind plays his 2nd slot for yellow2,with a yellow2clue, and white1,with a white1clue, successfully plays.
  • Cathy and Alice discard.
  • Bob blind plays his 3rd slot yellow2,with a yellow2clue,.
  • Cathy plays yellow3,with a yellow3clue,.
After the first layered finesse is resolved

red,with a redclue, yellow3,with a yellow3clue, green,with a greenclue, blue,with a blueclue, white1,with a white1clue, green1,with a green1clue,blue4,with a blue4clue,white2,with a white2clue,red4,with a red4clue, Bob 🡲 red2,with a red2clue,white3,with a white3clue,green4,with a green4clue,yellow5,with a yellow5clue, Cathy 🡲

Can Alice bluff here?

red,with a redclue, yellow3,with a yellow3clue, green,with a greenclue, blue,with a blueclue, white1,with a white1clue, green1,with a green1clue,blue4,with a blue4clue,white2,with a white2clue,red4,with a red4clue, Bob 🡲 red2,with a red2clue,white3,with a white3clue,green4,with a green4clue,yellow5,with a yellow5clue, Cathy 🡲

  • Since Bob knows the white clue is a layered finesse, he must keep looking for white2,with a white2clue, before he can start looking for red1,with a red1clue, because red1,with a red1clue, can be inside the white2,with a white2clue, layered finesse:

black powder,with a black powderclue,black powder,with a black powderclue,red1,with a red1clue,white2,with a white2clue, Bob 🡲

  • So Alice cannot bluff a player who is already in the middle of responding to a finesse if it can be layered.
red1,with a red1clue,black powder,with a black powderclue,white2,with a white2clue,black powder,with a black powderclue, Bob 🡲
  • Bob knows the white clue cannot be a bluff because Cathy would not discard unless she sees a playable white2,with a white2clue, in Bob's hand.
  • So Bob knows he is promised white2,with a white2clue, and keeps playing each slot from his now 3rd slot left to right until his white2,with a white2clue, is played.

Finesse + Promise Bluff

Example with gap between clue giver and first response:

black powder,with a black powderclue,yellow4,with a yellow4clue,black powder,with a black powderclue,black powder,with a black powderclue, Bob 🡲

yellow1,with a yellow1clue,black powder,with a black powderclue,black powder,with a black powderclue,black powder,with a black powderclue, Cathy 🡲

yellow3,with a yellow3clue,black powder,with a black powderclue,black powder,with a black powderclue,black powder,with a black powderclue, Emily 🡲

  • Alice clues yellow4,with a yellow4clue,
  • Bob does something unrelated
  • Cathy plays yellow1,with a yellow1clue,
  • Donald plays black powder3,with a black powder3clue, as yellow2,with a yellow2clue,
  • Emily now has yellow3,with a yellow3clue, marked in their slot 1

Why isn't it layered? 🡆 Wrong question

Should be thinking: can it be a bluff? / do I need to keep playing?

  • Alice clues the unmarked white4,with a white4clue, in Emily's hand (finesse) so that Alice has one card fewer to play and shortens the critical path.
Solution
A) Alice clues Bob white2,with a white2clue, / white2,with a white2clue, ❌ does not get the unmarked white3,with a white3clue, / white4,with a white4clue,
B) Alice clues Donald white3,with a white3clue, / white3,with a white3clue, ❌ does not get the unmarked white4,with a white4clue,
C) Alice clues Emily white4,with a white4clue, / white4,with a white4clue, ❌ does not get the unmarked white3,with a white3clue,
D) Alice discards white4,with a white4clue, ✅ finesses up to white4,with a white4clue,
E) Alice (mis)plays white4,with a white4clue, ❌ interpretation = positional misplay
F) Alice discards slot 1 ✅ Donald and Emily both see Alice could have clued instead white4,with a white4clue,
G) Alice (mis)plays slot 1 ❌ interpretation = positional misplay

Other possible options include trash push if both of Emily's other cards are the same rank (not 4) or colour (not white) e.g red1,with a red1clue,yellow1,with a yellow1clue, then Alice could clue red1,with a red1clue,yellow1,with a yellow1clue, to Emily's hand white4,with a white4clue,red1,with a red1clue,yellow1,with a yellow1clue,white3,with a white3clue, Emily 🡲
