Can we have first to 2 as an option? Games are not too long and would help to mitigate variance and make the game feel a bit better.

What is first to 2?

Yeah would be nice, even Richard Garfield (game designer) thinks the game is ideal in a best of 5 format: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/342162 ... r-kot-duel

From that article: "It became apparent early that this game was subject sometimes to very fast resolution. I began to view a game as more like a hand of gin than a game of gin. You sometimes just win; but if you play the whole game those lucky hands cancel out - and you are left with a competition that has swinginess but isn't, in the long run, dominated by that luck. The games variance in length became one of its charms for me; it was tense from the very start. When I play myself - though - I usually play best of 5 games. This usually gives me a pretty satisfying experience - but - the longer games are such that you can't really make that the standard way to play. It would scare people off seeing '90 minutes' on the box. But if you like the game enough you will probably find that way of playing worth the time."
