Game Balance

[thesaltytomato]

I used to really enjoy playing this game on here, but over the last couple of seasons, it feels like a drastic change in game balance has shifted. Almost to the point where it feels like several of those I play against consistently have the upper hand, as if cheating or exploiting is happening. I'm not one to normally complain, but it's to the point where several opponents have made comments along the lines of 'wow, the dealer has it out for you'. I don't know what suggestion to make, because I don't know what has changed... But it had been substantial from the time I initially started playing. The fact that players are double, even tripling the amount of played cards - consistently, is a problem. I notice these runs occurring significantly more frequently than I once had. I really hope to see something change... Because this largely feels more like exploitative rather than 100s of games of bad luck.

Could it be new players figuring out a different way to play? Do you thumbs up or down anyone? You were winning against me

I have played this game many times now and am stunned by how many wild cards my opponents get and how few I get. Their stockpile upcards are also consistently well-matched to play on the building piles. This happens at least 75% of the games I play on this platform. This regularly happens on both the Play and Arena formats. So frustrating.
