Example Screenshot

  • It is Dr_Kakashi's turn.
  • DrKakashi gives a 5 clue to pianoblook, touching two 5s on slot 1 and 2. Since this is a _Hard Variant, this clue will always be a 5 Pull,
  • Now, it is piper's turn. piper sees that the pulled card is two-away-from-playable. If piper does nothing, pianoblook will go on to misplay the rainbow 3.
  • piper knows that sometimes, when a 5 Pulled card is two-away-from-playable, it can trigger a Discharge as a 5 Number Discharge.
  • However, piper also sees that IAMJEFF has a rainbow 2 on his Finesse Position, which means the rainbow 3 is only a one-away-from-playable card if piper has a rainbow 1 on his Finesse Position.
  • Finally, piper also knows that Finesses take priority over 5 Number Discharges (when you only have to blind-play one card). So, piper blind-plays his Finesse Position card (as a 5 Pull Double Finesse). It is a rainbow 1 and it successfully plays.
  • IAMJEFF is expecting this clue to be a 5 Number Discharge and he is surprised that piper blind-plays his slot 1 instead of his slot 3. However, this tells IAMJEFF that this must be a 5 Pull Double Finesse. IAMJEFF blind-plays his Finesse Position. It is a rainbow 2 and it successfully plays.
  • pianoblook knows that his 5 Pulled card must connect to the rainbow 1 and the rainbow 2. pianoblook blind-plays his slot 3 card to complete the 5 Pull Double Finesse.
