tracking cards played

[FSKFSK]

I think it only pays to count the second chance and 2x, and maybe also the flip3 and freeze. Otherwise, it's too much work for an otherwise simple game.

If I want to count cards, I'll play a more serious game.

Also remember that, if the deck is reshuffled mid-round, the cards already on the table aren't reshuffled.

There also is an advantage to being in last early. You won't get targeted by freeze or flip3.

Sería una buena variante sí, que hubiera un recuento de las cartas que han salido ya

Y no creo que sea muy difícil de programar

Rather than tracking cards, I'd rather have the option to reshuffle the entire deck after each hand. I feel like the only reason this isn't a rule in real life is to make the game quicker by avoiding shuffling. I've played with shuffling and thought it was a better game for it.

The 2x and second chance cards are extremely strong. It's a 20+ point boost to whoever draws them.

Reshuffling after each round equalizes the chance of everyone getting it?

Anyone using external tools or writing down the played cards is cheating. Takes away all the skill. At that point just make an EV-calculation bot.

Exactly - it removes the memory element and also balances out the swingier cards.

Hello, just for fun, a little Google Sheets 7 Flip live odds calculator I made.

Put an x in the box corresponding to the drawn card to refresh the odds...
To keep the calculator and be able to modify outside the red rectangle, save a copy to your own Google Drive...

Not easy to use in real time, but it is doable.
