Alice Loves Garbage

Question

• All the 2's are played on the stacks.
• There are 0 clues available.
• Alice has a globally known yellow 2 in her hand.
• Alice decides to hold on to her trash and discards her chop instead.
• What signal is Alice sending? What should Bob do?

Solution

• Alice is performing a Scream Discard Chop Move (With Known-Trash).
• Normally, players are expected to discard their known-trash cards before discarding their chop.
• By discarding her chop instead of the known-trash card, Alice is signaling that something is very wrong — specifically, that Bob's chop is critical or playable.
• Bob should permanently move his chop by one position, and write "cm" on his slot 4 to mark it as Chop Moved.
• Bob is not allowed to discard on this turn. Instead, he must give a clue.
