- Keep a notebook/log of what clues have been given so you know what information each player knows (and what YOU know!) You don't want to give a redundant clue! Plus, let's say one player has a hand that's like green 2, blue 2, blue 5, and red 4. Someone else has already given them the clue about both blues in their hand... if you give a clue about 2s, they know EXACTLY what type of blue they have.

- Only give clues about cards that are either: safe to play (IE is next sequentially on the board), dangerous to play (IE ALERT DO NOT PLAY THIS 5 OR WE ARE CAPPED), or should be discarded (IE we already played the red 2 so you can safely discard your other red 2). Of these, giving clues about cards that SHOULD be played is more important because that's how we score.

- Don't over discard... every time you discard, you have to replace a card. The deck is very limited. It's good to discard for clue tokens but it's even better to give critical information! Try to ONLY discard if you're confident you have a useless card and we're low on clue tokens and you have no useful information to immediately give anybody else.

- When we have like two or fewer clue tokens, you should ask yourself if it's safe for the next person or the one after that to discard. If them discarding could screw us over (like if they have a 4 or 5 in hand), you may not want to give a clue on your turn


TURN ORDER: CAM -> HERMIONE -> GABRIELLA -> MAGS

One bit of strategy to discuss.

Sometimes you may run into a situation where you want someone to play a card, but giving a clue may direct them to another card and you arent sure which the person would play.

We can either assume to play the lowest card number first or we could do it by card age. What do you think?

lowest #, card age may be too hard

So that kind of mistake happens ALL the time in Hanabi. Usually you just correct the clue you gave and move on from there. Luckily this is practice

This is why practice is great :)

This looks like it could take a while, but still double checking every action you want to make can be paramount.

Yeah, the sooner we move on to the real thing, the better because we don't want to run against Hermione's deadline.
