Re: Tournament Scoring
Your understanding is correct for our 3-player tables. The example in the ISkO document is for a 4-player table and so used a 30-point bonus per opponent's lost game, but we would use 40 points per opponent's lost game here on BGA. You could implement the additional scoring for each game rather than...

Variant suggestion
Could we add "The Void" from 2020/4/1 as a (non-ELO) variant to Hearts? It was amusing and surprisingly interesting to play...

Re: After The Mind and The Game, here comes "The Void"
Please, can you add "The Void" as an additional option under the actual game that was reskinned? I found it to be an amusing variant with more strategy than most people realised! This blind variant could become popular enough to earn a Wikipedia mention...

Re: Tournament Scoring
This would be an excellent addition as a scoring option for Skat, and IMO much more useful than the current alternate scoring option.

Re: Automatic play in Oh Hell
I would support this, for any trick-taking card game. As long as the interface leaves the trick and leading card visible for a bit so people have time to parse what occurred, this seems good.

Re: TRAM (The Rest Are Mine) / Claim All Remaining Tricks
Yes, this looks accurate to what I was trying to suggest. I would alter the wording for #3 slightly: "A new button appears, accessible to each player, to agree or disagree that the claimant will take all remaining tricks. " (They only have to believe that someone else will take a trick, no...

Re: TRAM (The Rest Are Mine) / Claim All Remaining Tricks
The risk with relying on each other player having to confirm/deny is that, under circumstances, if I were to claim TRAM, two opponents were to say "I agree" but the other doesn't, then that gives me valuable information about the distribution of remaining cards which I might be able to us...

Re: TRAM (The Rest Are Mine) / Claim All Remaining Tricks
Just playing devil's advocate here -- what happens if someone hits that button, but doesn't actually have the rest of the tricks? I like the idea of speeding up the game play, just looking for the possible problems implementing it might introduce. The idea is that every other player must vet the cl...

TRAM (The Rest Are Mine) / Claim All Remaining Tricks
I think it would be a great improvement to every trick-taking game available on BGA (Hearts, Skat, etc.) to allow a player to claim all the remaining tricks in a hand. Every other player would then be able to see the cards in that player's hand and agree to give them the tricks, or force them to pla...

Re: Skat, Saint Poker and Palace: 3 card games!
I've heard good things about Skat and always wanted to learn it. But Wow. I just watched the video and my head is spinning with that scoring info . Seems kinda convoluted. Will still try and push through though , because it's otherwise exactly my kind of game , and a 3 player card game can often co...
