Can tutti frutti be made with watermelon rinds?.

If you end up covering up your card with any card that doesn’t have that fruit, there will only be five left and the other players are likely to pounce on it before you even can finish playing the card to the table. This is especially true in situations where there are exactly five of a fruit on the table but your previous card makes it more than five of the fruit.

You are at a disadvantage because everyone else can see the card first and you need to finish playing the card before you can ring the bell. In most other situations though you don’t want to be playing the card that puts five of the same fruit on the table.

If the card is a card with five of the same fruit and none of that fruit is currently on the table, the player that plays the cards seems to have an advantage for some reason. In some cases it seems to be better to be the player playing the card while in most situations it is better to not be playing the current card. With next to no strategy in the game, turn order becomes quite important.
