Pink-Ones

These conventions apply to variants with pink-ones.

In this variant, it is not possible to clue number 1 to a player.
Thus, players will usually give a Play Clue to a 1 with a color clue.
Alternatively, a player can also give a Play Clue to a 1 with a number 2 clue, a number 3 clue, or a number 4 clue.
In this situation, the player knows to play the focused card and to hold on to the rest of the cards for later.
This interpretation only applies if it is not possible to be a Finesse. (Self-Finesses don't count.)
For example, in a 3-player game:
- It is the first turn of the game and nothing is played on the stacks.
- Alice clues number 3 to Bob, touching two 3's on slot 1 + slot 2 as a Play Clue.
- Bob sees that Cathy does not have a playable card on her Finesse Position. (If she did, then Bob would need to wait to see what Cathy does.)
- Bob knows that this is just a Play Clue on a 1. Bob plays his slot 1 card. It is a red 1 and it successfully plays.
- Bob knows that his slot 2 card can either be another good 1 or a 3.

In this variant, it is possible to have 1's in a player's hand that are "misranked".
Finesses in this variant work the same as in a regular pink variant: play Finesse Position instead of a potentially misranked 1.
