I wish this game had a mulligan system

I too would like to see a mulligan system;
perhaps it should just be a mulligan system based on the potential useability of the cards you're given.

For me one of the biggest annoyances is when you get 6+ cards that are simply unuseable at the start; and I do'nt mean bad, I mean cards with requirements that aren't met at game start.

It's also tricky though to define a system, cuz you have cases like cards that need energy but you get no energy generation, so you can only play them if you use standard project power plant. so you can still get cases where you're kinda hosed that aren't caught.

It’s very simple.
This should be an option.
That way, every player can choose which game to take part in.
If you don’t like the initial hand draft, you don’t take part in the game.
Otherwise, you do.
Every competitive game and every tournament involves a draft of initial hand.
If you have the best 10 cards in your hand, you’ve already won.
With the draft of initial hand, the game is undeniably more balanced.
It rewards choices, not initial luck.

Suggestion for the forum mods:

A sticky post at the top (right below the forum moderation sticky) that reads simply"

"Nothing can be implemented on BGA that has not been approved officially for the game by the game publisher".

That is a good idea in theory but it likely wouldn't help much.

There could probably be numerous stickies added to the bug forum requesting players not waste everyone's time with inane bug reports, but the people who post these inane reports in the first place probably don't bother to read stickies.

If you are in a really bad spot you can just ask for a mulligan, I personally volunteered many mulligan/abandon when I had too good of a start. I don't think most of the top players would refuse one if it's offered at the start or early gens.

I recently became aware that some games on BGA, like Wingspan, had their developers or the volunteer workers on here contact, and get approval, from the game publisher to rebalance the game (in Wingspan, to ban four OP cards / birds).

So for those who feel strongly this game T Mars needs rebalancing, I suggest reaching out to the publisher. Get the change approved and perhaps we could have it implemented here. I would personally love mulligans (perhaps like the MTG current one, draw a need hand of the same number of cards, then put one back in the deck of your choice (per time you have mulliganed).
