I typically play 3 players Free For All but FFA with 3 gets a little stale. so one thing we tried at the end of the night was similar to the cards Dark Deal / Wheel of Fate with a variation. we were able to play all lands in your hand every turn and you always drew to 7 cards if you had less.
the thing I liked about this was that it helped get through some of the slow early game out of the way but also had a bit of win more element to it where if i had an opening hand of 5 cards and 2 lands while another player had 4 lands he was off to a much better start and then would draw more cards the next turn vs what i could draw. but the way we play FFA everyone still had time to get a chance to make plays (we like to get everyone low as opposed to just blasting the limp deck...)
I was wondering if anyone had tried to play something similar or used any variant we can use to evolve this style so as to make it less of a "win more" feel. everyone loves to draw cards... I was wondering if this should only apply to like the first turn or first three... I don't know.
This is pretty common in very casual groups, but also breaks most decks heavily. There are many decks that can easily win turn 1 or 2 consistently with those rules, and it invalidates any tempo, and many prison strategies.
