Hanabi

So the next game that I want to talk about, completely opposite of that, is Codenames.

And we could have thrown in Hanabi or Bombusters as well.

But the idea here is not so much that the gameplay changes over time, but if you play with the same people over time, you end up building up almost a second language or assumptions of how to play within your group.

And... you know, I know how you think.

And so therefore when you give a clue about something, I have a better way of tying it all together kind of, kind of way.

And the almost, uh, like Hanabi is, is almost the, the worst about this because if you play it a lot with the people, you end up developing almost a shorthand to communicate how the cards are laid out in your opponent or your, they're not opponents, your compatriots hands.

Um, and, Because of the way you're like this, oh, it's a two.

And just using inflection helps you know that, oh, okay, I don't need to worry about that card.
