I started a game (in the basic deal-and-tricks mode, not the expert draft mode) and it looked like it could be quite interesting and offer scope for interesting tactics for the skillful player. But one of the other players on the table refused to play after the first couple of tricks so the game was abandoned. So I'm disappointed to see it has been removed from BGA.
But I am thinking it might be a good game to introduce to the kids next time there's a power outage.
The makers of Stir Fry 18 were happy to send print-your-own card images for people in countries where they don't have a distributor. Wondering if you could lean on Salvador and Remy to do the same for The Void?

Please, can you add "The Void" as an additional option under the actual game that was reskinned? I found it to be an amusing variant with more strategy than most people realised! This blind variant could become popular enough to earn a Wikipedia mention...

Don't play this game. It's a joke.

Someone else and I agreed that this was Hearts but with blind play. We would have liked to actually play it as such, but people kept quitting.
If the cards are in your hand are still in suit and card order then it can be an interesting way to deduce what cards you have.
It's amusing to play even though winning/losing doesn't have too much meaning.
Please bring it back as a special variant!

I need rule clarification, after the upkeep when I choose a card to discard, can I still play a card or do I need to pass first?

I second this. I really wanted to play a game or 2 to completion but could not find willing players. Was a lot of fun trying to deduce cards. It seemed like they were always ranked from low to high and separated by suits, but the suits were in random order. Not 100% sure though.

April Fools jokes aside, it'd be really cool if they brought 'The Mind' to BGA
