Re: High Trust Deduction or Blunder?

Yes the 3rd 1y possibility is why I didn't address the fact that since there was no save after 2r discard, the chop card can still be playable. The question of the game was about whether or not we can eliminate the finesse position (slot 1) as 1y/2r. Because if we can eliminate slot 1, then the slot...

Re: No option for "card" based flamboyants?

I've removed "(optional)". It only referred to the in-game option to skip the flamboyant effect instead of using it (which may be impossible).
In any case it's not important to state in the game help since the skip button is obvious.

Re: self-layered patch finesse?

i think the correct term for this is a Pestilent Finesse . Interesting, not heard of this before in h-group conventions. Of course since we always use 1-away bluff targets and interpret clues as finesse (truth) until a bluff (lie) is revealed, we have no need for a 'pestilent' concept to disambigua...

Removing conventions from the help page

A user new to conventions with a fresh perspective completely reworked the help and tips pages. The reworked help page is overall well articulated and remains concise. The reworked tips page needs more thought. Currently there is too much content to be rendered. The main change is moving convention ...

Re: Looking for friendly players

A lot of players have reached out to me and wants to play Hanabi, which is super nice, however very few (actually none) seem to want to play 3-4 players. I don't find it fun at all to play only 2 players. So, to clarify, I'm only looking for people who wants to participate in a bigger group of play...

Re: Does anyone play? LFO

From the game page https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=pontedeldiavolo I activated the notification for when a real-time table is opened, but I rarely get notifications because there are so few players. I've never seen a real-time arena game but I've played a lot of turn-based arena games. You...
