The player should understand the other 1 shouldn't be played. If he has another playable card you can point, point it. In general, always let a player plays all his playable cards already pointed out (for instance, a player was pointed out three 1 in hand these 1 are green, blue, blue the player should play from left to right, so he will play green, then blue and only when he played the blue one should you give him another hint.
an exception can be a hint on a 5, which can easily be a save hint, whatever the situation if a hint points more than one card, always play the leftmost one first if it is not clear, always interpret that a hint on rightmost position is a save hint a hint on leftmost position is a play If you give or you are given a hint, there is a reason, so think (it's either save the card or play the card, usually) Don't give hints on what to discard (as a general rule there are exceptions like if there are lots of cards to be saved and no easy way to point out that there are to save) Always discard from the right when you have no clue I wanted to make an help for newer players to know the general rules followed by Hanabi' players in general (and it is easier to explain that in a forum than in the ingame chat).
