The Critical Save (Question 2)

Question

• The team has 2 clue tokens left.
• Cathy has three critical cards in a row.
• What action should Alice perform?

Solution

• Alice might be tempted to clue purple to Cathy, which would "get" all three purple cards in one fell swoop.
• However, it would be illegal for Alice to do that because 5's must be saved with a 5 Save.
• Thus, Alice should clue number 5 to Cathy as a 5 Save.
• Next, Bob would clue purple to Cathy as a Critical Save on the purple 3.
• Cathy would write a card note on her slot 4 card that contains the following identities:
  • purple 1 (as a Play Clue)
  • purple 3 (as a Critical Save)
  • purple 4 (as a Critical Save)
