Judgement FAQ

TL;DR

  • Last-player bids cannot make the table total equal the tricks available; pick a different number if the toast warns you.
  • Exact bids score 11 * prediction + 10; misses are worth 0 unless Double Points is active, then the round becomes -15.
  • Double Points locks your bid for 3 rounds starting with the next prediction; the lock resets when a game ends.
  • Blind modes activate on your next prediction and are great for drilling memory against Noble Gas Bots.

Why was my prediction rejected?

The last bidder in a round cannot make the total number of predicted tricks equal the number of tricks available. Adjust up or down. The UI shows "Prediction would match trick total" when this happens.

Why did my Double Points round score -15?

Double Points turns every miss into -15 instead of 0. The recap banner displays "-15 (Double Points miss)" as a reminder.

I activated Double Points but nothing happened. Why?

Double Points only applies after your next prediction. If you toggle it after bidding for the current round, wait until the recap and then submit the next prediction. The lock lasts for the following three rounds.

My locked bid changed. What happened?

If the hand size drops below your locked prediction, the server automatically clamps it to the maximum legal value before the round begins. The lock still counts as one of your three Double Points rounds.

How do the blind modes work?

  • Blind Prediction hides everyone else's bid during the prediction phase (you still see your own). Once play begins, every number is visible again.
  • Blind Tricks keeps opponents' cards face down until each trick resolves. Hosts must enable either mode in Create Room → Game Settings before starting; there is no in-round toggle.

Do bots have difficulty levels?

Not yet. Noble Gas Bots share the same bidding logic and follow suit rules faithfully. Use them for practice; swap in real friends when you want adaptive play.

Can I stack Double Points with the round 6 Special Power?

Yes. If your lock is active when round 6 starts and you are flagged as a Special Power holder, the multipliers stack for a 3x payout on exact bids.

How do I report a score discrepancy?

Take a screenshot of the recap banner and the leaderboard, then send it to support with the room code and timestamp. The recap shows every multiplier, making it easy to verify the math.
