Title: Hanabi III (Game Over - 21 points!)
Post by: Twistedarcher on April 30, 2014, 07:45:26 pm
Hanabi (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/98778/hanabi)

A review (http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/588341/this-year-antoine-bauza-released-the-best-cooperat)

Full Rules (http://files.boardgamegeek.com/file/download/6r4wxf3udw/Hanabi_English_Translation.pdf?)

Hanabi is a co-operative game; one where the players do not clash, but work as a team to achieve a common goal. They play the part of inattentive / drunk pyrotechnics experts, who accidentally mixed up the powders, wicks and rockets of a large fireworks display. Since the presentation is about to start, this has caused a bit of a panic! The team needs to help each other so the spectacle doesn't turn into a catastrophe!

The objective is to play cards 1-2-3-4-5 (in order) in each of 5 suits (colors). In each suit, there are three 1s, two 2s, two 3s, two 4s, and one 5.

Each player will have a hand of 4 cards. Hands are secret, with the twist that each player can see all the cards except his own. Each player will have a QT that all other players have access to, with the cards in the hand in slots A-D. This will be updated each time a card is played or discarded.  (If you play card B on your turn, then you will draw a card and it will go the card B slot.) There will be absolutely no discussion and/or communication in these QTs.

On your turn, you have three options:

1. Play a card (A-D), and then draw one. Your play is legal if the card is the next numerically in its suit - you may not skip or duplicate numbers. If the play is illegal, the card is discarded and the team receives a strike. 3 strikes = game over.

1a. If you play a 5 legally to complete a suit, you gain a bonus clue token for the team. If you have completed the fifth suit, you win!

2. Give information. You may discard a clue token (the team starts with 8) .  You identify all cards of a suit or number that one other player has. You must identify all matching cards.

This means that if person X has this hand:

R1 R2 Y1 G1

You can give the following clues:

A/C/D are 1
A/B are Red
C is Yellow
D is Green

You cannot give this clue:

A is a 1

3. Discard a card, gain a clue token, and then draw a new card. The new card will be placed in the same slot from which the previous card was discarded.

If a player draws the last card from the deck, each player has one final turn (including the player who drew the last card).

Any form of in-game discussion other than posting your action is not allowed. And of course, do not PM the other players in the game.  You in fact should never need to PM anyone.

Final Scoring:

The final score is the total number of cards legally played:

0-5 Horrible! The crowd is booing!
6-10 Poor. Barely any applause.
11-15 Honorable, but nobody will remember it.
16-20 Excellent! Charms the crowd.
21-24 Extraordinary! Engraved in the crowd's memories.
25 Legendary! The crowd is speechless with stars in their eyes

Ghostofmars, Jimmmm and Teproc have been auto-inned, as they have expressed interest in playing previously. That means there's only 1 spot left!

I will try to update the game as much as possible. This will be at minimum once per morning/evening forum time, but likely more often.

As I said in the Hanabi thread, I'm used to play with a variant, so I have an automatic excuse for awful play, just putting it out there.

Game is underway. If you have any questions please PM me. Ghostofmars is first. You will probably want to wait for me for new cards, but there's no need to wait if the last action was a clue.

I have played Hanabi several times including some perfect games. Most of my experience is 2 player, but I have played ~15 times with 3-5 players.

Jim's B is 1

Btw. In the real game, I can reorder the cards, which may give some information to other players. Should this be included here?

Question (this is not meant to and should not be taken to imply anything about the gamestate): is it legal to say, "None of your cards are..."? Different editions vary on this.

Everyone's differing time zones moved this game into a pretty steady flow, which wasn't bad to keep up with for modding. I definitely slowed the game down more than any player.

Do you think this would work with a numbered, spoilered list of cards, or that it would be too easy to make a mistake? I don't think we'd have to worry about anyone cheating.

I think it was fine the way it was. Spoilered lists seem fairly risky that someone will make a mistake, I'd be happy to try it though. One small way of speeding up the process would be to indicate what the next card is before a player's turn when they don't have any clue tokens and so will have to play or discard.

Title: Re: Hanabi III (Game Over - 21 points!)
Post by: ghostofmars on May 15, 2014, 02:40:21 am
Honestly, I can not chime with the celebrations. I think, we performed ok, but not great. We could have scored at least 2 or 3 points more, if we played better. In particular, we lost the B5 round 1 and the two R4s in one round, although we had hints left at that point.

I remember that I decided against hinting the R4, because I expected that Teproc would discard a different card. I wonder, how you handle discards in your groups? Do you use a discard queue where always the card is discarded that is oldest and for which no hint is given?
Title: Re: Hanabi III (Game Over - 21 points!)
Post by: Jimmmmm on May 15, 2014, 02:48:32 am
Yeah, I'll always discard the card I've had for the longest that I don't positively know something about, unless of course I have a reason to keep it or discard something else. For Teproc, both the card he had the longest and the card he knew the least about were junk, but he discarded one in the middle.

Some feedback for you ghostofmars, I would suggest that on the first player's first turn they don't tell someone else about a single 1, in case they have 2 or 3 1s they can't see. It just so happened that your three 1s didn't coincide with my 1, but it would have been a pain if they did.
Title: Re: Hanabi III (Game Over - 21 points!)
Post by: Jimmmmm on May 15, 2014, 03:15:56 am
Also Teproc, if I remember properly, there was one time when Watno had 3 useless cards, a Y1, a R1 and a R2, and something useful, like a B4 or something. The Y1 was actually quite useful to have in his hand, since he'd narrowed it down to either Y1 or Y5, so whenever he discarded something other than that, I knew for sure that I didn't have a Y5, since if he could see a Y5 he'd know to discard the Y1. Alternatively, if he drew a 5, we could tell him about the 5, and he'd know what the Y1 was. So I think it would have been better to tell him about his reds, since we couldn't play any more reds.

Jimmm A, B, and D are white

This confused me a bit. I concluded that at least one of A and D (I think) had to be a W4 since there was only 1 W2 left and I had them both narrowed down to either 2 or 4, and they may have both been W4s. Is this what you wanted me to conclude?

Hmmm, I think that would work. At least if there is something else to tell (which was in our case).
In 2 player it often wouldn't, also you want to get cards out faster there.

Honestly, I was surprised that you played the card. You had B4, W4, W1, and W2 in your hand. So I couldn't uniquely identify the W4 card. I feared that you would play B4(newest) if I had told you the 4s so I chose the whites instead.

So I wanted to tell you don't discard this card now.

I almost never play 2 player, so I'm not too sure about that, but in general I think it's a solid rule of thumb.

I went back and checked to see if there was a time I would have been told about a W2 if I had it, but I had told Teproc about his W2 straight after the W1 was played. I figured getting a strike wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, and if I misplayed a W2, at least I'd know for sure the other one was a W4.

Post by: Teproc on May 15, 2014, 05:10:04 am
Yeah 21 isn't great.

As far as the red 4 goes : I think I decided to discard it because the cards I had for a long time looked important : they were not 1s, not 2s and not 4s or something to that effect. So I discarded that one because I thought it was the least likely to be important... obviously that was wrong.

I was very puzzled when you discarded the... white five I think, ghost ? You had a token and a useulf info to give to Jimmmm at that point, do you remember why you discarded ?

@Jimmmm : Hmm, I hesistated between telling him about the 1s or the red (I ended up doing both since he drew more red later), I didn't catch that there were so few yellow cards left.

From my perspective both Jimmm and you had playable cards in your hand W4 and G4, respectively. Both of you had these cards since the beginning of the game so that it was likely that you would discard it. As I had only 1 hint to give I feared that the one I didn't tell a hint would discard a playable card. So I discarded my oldest card so that Jimmm could give you a hint and both of these cards were saved, unfortunately at the cost of the W5.
