Opt-Out of ELO

I'm a pretty casual player. I'm just here to have fun. But, I admit, I get a little angry when I do very poorly in a game and then have a ton of ELO lost add insult to injury. I don't care about my ranking in a game. I want to be able to just enjoy games and not be preoccupied by losing -55 ELO because I got last place in Kingdomino (not that it just happened or anything
) People can still have it, but I just want to be able to opt out of it. PLZ!!!

You can play friendly games with no ELO with people on your friends list. It is a setting when creating a table.
But because ELO is adjusted by a calculation involving the ELO of each player in the game, you couldn't opt out entirely without your opponent being affected. Now what might work is a setting to hide your ELO from yourself the way your Arena rating is hidden until you get to the elite tier.

You can play friendly games with anyone and there is no ELO. It doesn't have to be limited to your friend's list. There is also no timer though and no quit penalty so some people don't like this option for that reason.
