Report history
- No jokers as they are too overpowered to be added
- No 'Rummy!' rules (both out-of-turn pickup and bonus for going out in a single turn) as both interrupt the game flow unnecessarily
- No boathouse and no meld limit per turn as I don't like punishing players who got lucky and it doesn't add strategic depth
- No simple scoring as it is completely unnecessary in automated scoring
- No first meld's 30 points limit as it is impossible to reach with low cards only
- No reshuffle when the deck is exhausted as reshuffling discards drags the game too long
I tried these in other rummy games I implemented already and I think adding these does more harm than good, at least in BGA version.
