Option to turn off mandatory 2 of Clubs lead

Post by pillboxer »

Please, please, please make an option to turn off the very silly rule of having to lead with the 2 of Clubs! This rule takes away a lot of strategy. Instead, offer the option to have a random "start player" at the start of the game and the start player can lead whatever they like (sans points cards) and then rotate the start player to the left each hand.

Well, in some cases with random player lead, sans points cards can actually be impossible (e.g. lead player has all hearts or 12 hearts and a queen of spades even though that's a VERY RARE scenario). The 2 of clubs rule prevents that scenario tbh.

Passing the two of clubs to the left is a great way to plan the entire hand -- you play last on the first trick.
