The Purge Bluff is an advanced strategy.

Example 1​

Example Screenshot

  • It is Fireheart's turn.
  • Fireheart clues green to Micerang. This "fills in" green 4, which is a signal to Zamiel that the green 4 is playable right now.
  • Zamiel has a 2 in his hand that could be green 2. Thus, Zamiel interprets the green clue as a Prompt on the green 2 + a Finesse on the green 3.
  • Zamiel plays his slot 4 card as a green 2 and it successfully plays.
  • Micerang knows that no-one has the green 3, because he now has negative green on his entire hand. Micerang knows that Zamiel will think that he has the green 3 and will go on to blind-play the blue 2. After playing the blue 2, Zamiel will assume that a Layered Finesse is occurring, and Zamiel will go on to blind-play the null 1. After that, Zamiel will know that he was Purge Bluffed.
