I like it, but it relies on too much luck once all logical deduction is exhausted: I feel like it needs another clue source in there. Perhaps giving you a flop card for free would be enough. Another thing is to accept any answer that would explain the bronze/silver/gold. Or what would be cool is take WSOP actual games, show the action and the cards, and you guess the flop/turn/river.

Yes agreed. Had everything dialed in except a card that I only knew to be a spade and no helpful information from the ranks. Just had to exhaust my guesses numerically.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Colour psychology. Red = danger, green = good.

Western color psychology. Red is considered a very lucky color in China.

And I guess this is why red is positive (is green negative?) in much of East Asia in finance.

Hence the emoji for chart increasing being mostly drawn as a red line

From the link at your link, yes, negative is green in Japan.

Wait until you see Wordle for Riichi Mahjong :-) https://mahjong-handle.update.sh/

I love that one! I find it kind of amazing that it works at all with so many possible tiles and hands, though I guess them being in order helps a lot.

Interesting, but I feel if there is a card on the board that doesn't contribute to any player's result, it's too hard to guess in just five tries. You have 2,3,4...A, which is too many options, even if you manage to get the suit correct. I don't really know how to change the rules to compensate for this, but it feels like these 'unrelated' cards ruin the game in a way.

This isn’t a problem: No random kickers on the board - The rank of each board card will alway be a part of at least one player's hand in at least one phase. Rules page 2

I found that confusing, not knowing the term "random kickers."

To rephrase slightly for my brain: Every card in the solution will be used in at least one player's hand.

It might have been nice if there were an annotated example game.

Any answer that explains the rankings is too broad. That takes no luck and you should get it first time. I get what you mean though, there is a bit too much luck

I didn't realize it on first playthrough but since the rank is ordered on the flop you do have a clue that way
