Can we get an option for playing with the original rules of Skull King?

Post by sgoodwin »

Hello all,

I've been playing Skull King since 2017 (which then was the second printing of the game). The game has always been a favorite mine. I usually tell people when I get an early lead that "I'm really good at coming in second place."

I would love if we could get an option for classic Skull King (56 numbered cards, five pirates, five escapes, one Tigress, one Skull King). That is the classic Skull King game that I know and have played hundreds of times.

Thanks!

It already exists. If you uncheck every options you'll play like this.

Is this the option for arena? I've played a lot of skull king in real life but have always avoided the new cards because they add too much randomness.

Original game (first edition) does not have the 14s (and associated bonus points). Also there is no bonus point for taking a mermaid. And capturing a skullking with a mermeid is worth 50 points, not 40.

There is a rejected suggestion asking it. It is said that BGA does not have the right to implement it.

We remind you that the implementation choices are defined by the editor and not by BGA or the devs
