Here is a good example of "unnecessary" trash bluff and the only possible clue that makes a single card play: https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/260902-0910/?table=909841766&player=100309452&comments=97166359&goto=9 If the team was playing with this convention, how does...

I think ideally B should clue blue. Then, D seeing his FP is not blue would know immediately it's a patch finesse. It would also delay the double save situation on B's hand.

what is a "skip double bluff"? i dont think any such thing exists. E should not stop after blind-playing w1 or g1, and the reason for this is because C did not react to A's m2 clue in any way, which means C must see m1 on finesse position (or layered) somewhere. since E is the only player...

if D and E both blind plays y1 and w1 from a 2 clue, you wouldn't assume some sort of skip double bluff?

So basically, as player E, you know it was a patch finesse the moment D blind plays?

You mean C would clue D 1s, and B knows his 2 is not y2. Would B wait for y2 to play?

If C did nothing, and both D and E plays, wouldn't E just stop digging?

From Orange's pov, it is a trash bluff that touches chop. Was it unnecessary? Yes. Therefore, it should do som...

If D responds immediately, then after E plays w1, E would stop digging and assume finesse-bluff. But if D responds after g1 plays, then y1 y2 patch revealed and E would keep digging? But then the...

in BGA I can tell you 1 absolutely connects to 3. If I gave a 3 clue and a 1 blind plays, they are going to look for the connecting 2. This is why the 3 bluff, a concept from H-Group, is impossible in BGA.

i agree with your overall premise that PDB is more useful and more common than PrDB, but i think ur 3rd example needs a bit of correction based on what cards are played before A's clue. if r1 (and no other card) is already played, then B blind-plays b1. amazingly, C needs to do nothing more! since ...

I like the idea of healing much more than promises. You can extend the logic to trash moves like trash double ignition. When player A clues a known trash on player D's chop, and the card next to the trash is also trash, player B plays because otherwise D will bomb card slot 3, and player C has to pl...
