...but I don't mean "mirror-image symmetrical", but... each player chooses the cards that the OPPONENT will have to live with. In other words, a player would need to flip his usual thinking and consider how to build the worst set of three decks from the choices presented. Not super-serious, but it might be funny and an interesting experience for those masochistic enough to discover what their opponent has chosen for them, and a novel experience for those used to actually playing with logical setups.
I ... like the idea and I would probably play it, except I would probably stop having fun the second I'll be dealt a trip or fright. I suppose it could work if the card pool is different than the current gold-black-silver-silver-bronze-bronze-paper of quick draw. It would probably need some additional rule, because it's all too easy to screw someone over by picking all movement cards for istance. Something like : 1 gold card, mandatory attack qualifier 1 gold card, can be anything 2 silver card, mandatory attack qualifier 1 silver card, can be anything 2 bronze card, can be anything Still 7 cards, but of overall better quality with 3 cards that can only be attacks, no handicaps because having the opponent choose what you get is an handicap enough on its own.
Agreed that the mix of cards would need to be carefully chosen to, say, prevent players having no attack cards at all.
Definitly. And Trip for example should not be in the pool. If you opponent manages to give u that and other traits, you are just not playing. Fumble also, I guess.
I think instead of the regular packs, we have gold then gold attack then paper then silver then silver attack then bronze then bronze attack.
