Very bad way to play

Post by Le_Désagréable »

Please make a variant or an option that you have no choice but to play a card when you can play a card. People just pick up cards and don't discard them. Three games in tournament mode, and all the players use this strategy, thinking they're being smart when it's just unfair to everyone else. And don't tell me it's strategic. It's not strategic; it's a pathetic losing way to play.

I really really do not like playing these people. It’s just annoying. I think there should be a limit on how many you can draw if you can play a card. Once you’ve reached that limit, you have to play the card!

I agree. It's a dishonest way to play.

They think to be smart but they are just unethical and at the end l*osers.

If everyone has been dumping cards on you the whole game and you are losing, it is the only way to stand a chance of winning. If you don’t like people who play that way, give them a red thumb. That’s what I do with people who sit on the “pass” cards and wait until someone has one card to play it. I’m not sure why that tactic is any more “fair” than hanging onto cards.

Sometimes two work together. one of them collects cards. If I recognize a card-Collector I use the turnaround in the other direction.

I really fed up with that strategy, even you don't like to call it this way, but it is and, fair or not, is not against the rules. This is so annoying when you are about to win someone with huge difference and he/she starts doing that, collecting cards, change them, and begin again the process just to drain your patience and press abandon button. Red thumb, no other way (in 2 players game).

But, is true that I like to keep some cards even when they can be played just because it's not the best moment to play them. Limiting this, will make me not to play again.
