REDEMPTION
SECRET "CHEAT" CODES
When playing
Redemption with partners, it is often helpful to let each other know what
cards you have in your hand, without letting your opponents know.
These particular codes have been used here in southern California,
particularly in the ARC (Arroyo Redemption Club, Arroyo High School, El
Monte, CA).

Typical uses |
Son of God |
"son of Bob" OR blink one

blink one eye. |

These can give you
an idea of what you can do. It is fun to try to know what is in your
partner's hand without your opponents knowing. As long as everyone
agrees this is acceptable, it adds an interesting twist to the game.
If you have any other
secret "cheat" codes you would like to pass along, please do so.
I may post them here.
