Re: Hard endgame puzzles

#1: Suppose we're in possibility 1. If you waste a clue, you get 29, if you discard you get 28. Suppose we're in possibility 8. If you waste a clue, you get 28, if you discard you get 29. There are other possibilities where there is a difference. So the question is: which one is better considering a...

Re: Hard endgame puzzles

#1 : I don't get the problem... Both discard or clue are fine. You need to discard one time, not Notafool, but that's all. No matter when you discard. It does matter. The question is: what is the best moment to discard? Immediately (risking that you don't draw anything playable) or later (risking t...

Hard endgame puzzles

The endgame in hanabi is complicated. This post is not a guide about endgame strategies, but instead a list of puzzles with very complicated solutions. I think even the best hanabi players will have a hard time with these. For every puzzle I will link to the board if I have it, but I will also give ...

Re: Potentially Broken Strategy

I implemented a strategy as a Python script similar to this idea. The main difference in strategy is that instead of telling each player about one of their cards, the strategy tells each other player what to do. I like this idea too, though. I'm not sure which is more efficient. I'm afraid that with...

Re: Hanabi trophies

As ufm said, I think the way to get the trophy is to have at least 100 wins and then play a game where somebody leaves during the game. Then that game counts as a "win" for all other players, and then the trophy will get awarded. It's very random :P

Re: Seeking Hive players for an online research study!

Just so you know: the link doesn't work for me in firefox (I get a blank "New Tab" page), but it does work in Chrome.

Re: 6 new updates for lobby and turn-based

1. Tables you cannot join for any reason are now hidden by default. You may display them optionally ("Display tables I cannot join"). Houra! That is great! One (unrelated) suggestion: When there are invited players in a table you host (for example after clicking "rematch") the &...

Oh hell: trump on the left

It is common in trick-taking games with trump to sort the cards of trump suit on the left (or right) side of the hand. This would be much appreciated, since I've already mistaken the trump suit in multiple hands.

only show games you can join

On the "Play now" page, it would be useful if there was an option to only display games you can actually join. For example a checkbox that, once checked, removes all games from the list where you can't join (because of rating, reputation or not being in a group). If there is such an option...
