Heys everyone,

I've seen this TCG variant described where you play 2 rounds and use all cards.

Is this even possible to implement in BGA?

Thanks in advance

Rules:
Variant 2 (TCG)

Since there are 104 cards total, and there are 4 cards needed to start the initial rows, there is a total of 100 cards left over to be dealt to the players. We play the game in 2 halves.
With 4 players, each player is dealt 12 cards each in the first half. The game is played normally. When the players have played all their cards, the cards on the table are left as they are at the end of that half. You don't remove or shuffle them. Then you deal out the remaining to each player for the second half (so that means all 100 cards get used during the game). Play continues as normal. When those cards are all played, everyone adds up their scores, and player with the lowest score wins. That is considered a complete game and only takes about 10 to 12 minutes. You don't play to 66 points or anything.

With 5 players, each player gets 10 cards in the first half, and 10 cards in the second half.
With 6 players, each player gets 8 cards in each half - 4 cards are left over and don't get used.
With 7 players, each player gets 7 cards in each
