Hello,
What convention do you play by, when you get a number play clue on chop?
Ex:
- No 4 in the discard pile, and only the B4 is playable.
- Player 1 gives a direct clue to Player 2 (= no finesse/reverse/...). Player 3 has no 4 on chop, so it's just a play clue.
What would you play as Player 2, receiving this 4 clue?
On BGA, I used to follow the "play most recent when you don't know what to play" convention, so even on chop, I would bomb here, trying to play the Y4.
IMO, this is consistent with the color clue, and allows us to protect the rightmost card(s).
It seems some BGA players choose the right most as a convention.
Note that this is different when all 4 are playable.
Ex :
In such a case, if the right most is a trash, we could just delay the clue and let it be discarded first.
So if we clue it anyway, it means that the rightmost one is important and must be playable.
