For example, a player may unintentionally help an opponent finish their melds if they discard a 7 of diamonds while the other player has already collected multiple diamonds. In these situations, holding onto the crummy nobiard until it can be used effectively or until it becomes evident that it is no longer useful in the player's hand may be advising. In contrast, there are situations in which discarding a card is required in order to keep your hand size under control. It could be wise to discard several high-value cards early in the game if a player finds themselves holding onto them even though they don't contribute to any possible melds.
