Shorter Game

Post by lkwdubb »

Would love an option for a shorter game. If there was a chance to have the goal score be 3000 or 1500 for a ultra short game.

Rejected. In almost all multi-round games, a single round option is not worth implementing.

A 5000 point game is like 5 rounds. 3000 points is still a multi round game but can cut down on a round or 2.

Actually, the current average score per round of the game winner is ~1467.
This means 1500/3000-point games are very likely to end in 1/2 rounds.

Both issues could be solved by making the game last a fixed number of rounds (e.g. 3), but I guess that's contrary to the game's spirit.

any game can be short, just control the deck and you can make 5000+ points in one round, 4 of 5 of my games have 3 rounds
