Game length option.

We are having competitions with 4-5 tables of players. It would be helpful if we could compare player's scores from different tables. Right now this is impossible because one game might last 2 rounds, while another lasts 5 rounds, giving a huge advantage to the players who played a shorter game.

My suggestion is that we could have a game option to set the number of rounds to be played in a game instead of playing to 66 points. As I have stated before, this is allowed in the official rules.

I think this is an excellent option that would mitigate several potential issues in the current play.

I posted this idea again in "suggestions". I would delete this post from here, but I must have waited an hour or two too long and the option is gone.

Not a problem, but the biggest thing that's missing is the vote:

And, so far in reading this thread, I have no idea what suggestion ID it is. Being lazy, I am not going to search through all the suggestions myself to upvote it. If only a link had been posted....

There is a suggestion for it here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=17059 (the one Wreckage posted is a duplicate)

I like the suggestion, but judging from the list there doesn't seem to be a lot of development going on.
