In conclusion, there are:

1. Play Clues

Clue Interpretation Algorithm

When a clue happens and you need to figure out what it means, always ask yourself the following questions:

1. What slot is focused?
   • Use the 4-step process we covered in the previous section.
2. Is it a Play Clue or a Save Clue or could it still be either?
   • Non-chop clues are always Play Clues.
   • Chop clues can be either a Play Clue or a Save Clue.
3. What is the identity of the card?
   • Record as a card note all possible identities for a playable card (if it could be a Play Clue) AND all possible identities for a saved card (if it could be a Save Clue).

Following these steps every time can help you avoid mistakes.
