Referential Discard Clues

  • The "referential" part of Referential Sieve indicates that cards next to the desired cards are clued, rather than being clued directly.
  • To get an unclued card (the Target) to discard, a rank clue is given to the unclued card immediately to its left (the Focus).
    • If no new cards are clued, this is instead a Reclue and is covered in level 2.
    • To get a previously-clued card to discard, reveal it as trash.
Alice clues 4 to Bob, touching slot 3.
This clue means to discard slot 4 (focuses slot 3).

When multiple cards are clued,

  • The Focus of the clue is the leftmost newly-clued card.
  • The Target of the clue is the unclued card to its right (without wrapping around).
Alice clues 5 to Bob, touching slots 1 and 5. Slots 2 and 3 are previously clued.

  • Special rules around Locked players are explained in level 4.
