had an idea for a clue in a recent game. i didn't end up giving that clue cause i cuoldn't decide if it was a valid one. was wondering what you all think.
i was player 1. the clue i was considering is giving 4 to player 4 to clue their 4w in the hope it would play the following cards in order:
multi 1, y1, w2, w3, w4
it's kind of weird cause it's sort of a self layered, but my line of thinking is, for everyone who isn't player 4 it should be pretty clear it's layered - players 2 and 3 know they can't have 2w, and player 5 sees a line of playable cards leading to 2w, and the 3w at finesse position in player 3's hand.
player 4 not seeing anything in other players hand that would make sense of that 4 clue, should think they have either 1-4 in their hand or 5k on finesse, either way it should make them play their clued 1 first, and then finesse position. seeing that no one reacted to the 4, and knowing this wouldn't have worked as just a bluff they should keep digging finding the 2w causing player 3 to then play their 3w at finesse.
i think the logic works but im wondering if there's something im missing and if the clue would have worked from my position.
