I've played several games of both since Beta release and I find myself disappointed in them both, but for different reasons. Mind up is fine for 3 players and does involve a bit of skill, but any more than that and it's complete luck. With 5 players you may as well close your eyes and pick a card. ...

And it's quite easy to find TB games of Downforce, at least.

I haven't found this to be an issue either in games with friends or in tournament play.

The penalties for going into the dark are quite tough, so most players try to avoid picking TOO many cards.

I grew up playing Knockout Whist and have never played it with no trumps in any round. I was shocked when my opponent opted for that in my first game. Since there are other optional variants in this implementation, I'd like to be able to play with the option to turn off no trumps. In fact, in the P...
