The Charleston, Properly
Reading what comes back
The Charleston is telling you about everyone else.
Intermediate · lesson 7 of 22
Every pass you receive is information. The player on your right just decided those three tiles were their least useful, and that says something about what they kept.
Three Bams arriving from the same player, twice, is close to a statement: they are not building in Bams. Three winds arriving from someone who then passes winds again means the winds-and-dragons section is not where they are looking.
Tip
You do not need to track all of it. Noticing one player's abandoned suit is enough to make your later discards meaningfully safer.
It works the other way too. What you pass tells them the same kind of thing, which is part of why passing the same suit twice in a row is louder than it feels.
Reading ahead is fine. The path takes lessons in order, so this one ticks off once you get here.
