Anonymous Games

 wanted to suggest a new feature. Our games (among real life friends) can get rather personal at times. People target certain people for personal reasons or because of something that happened in a previous game. So I was wondering if it's possible to add an "anonymous" game mode, where colors are assigned randomly and player names are hidden until the game is finished (or when a player is eliminated). That way the "personal" factor will be taken out of the game.

Thoughts? Wouldn't really apply to games with random players though.

Love it!

This has been suggested before as something akin to "total fog". So you wouldn't know who you were playing, who was what color, who had what cards, etc. But I agree, some just target because of personal reasons or rank, etc.

yes. this mode i've played elsewhere and wish we had it.
i especially liked a mode where you couldn't even see how many troops you were attacking, you only know what you have.

I like the idea too.

Good idea.

Chat would probably have to be disabled though, since people can recognise each other’s tone of voice, idiolect, grammar, etc. Or maybe just limit the chat to preset phrases (like in gag mode).

You would need to tweak the rules a bit too for team games.

Sounds cool. Would love to try.

Good idea.

@Dough_boy, also not being able to see how many cards someone is is holding, takes away a big part of the strategy, imo.

Also, for fog games, it would be nice for the creator to be able to have the option 'chat' or 'no chat'.
Too often it happens information is shared, to warn other players about another player's strength.

If you didn't know who you were playing, and where they were at, you shouldn't attack someone just because they have cards. You could easily hand the game to someone else and ruin it.

I like the idea as well, this will solve a lot of problems..

Can't we all just get along? LOL
But yeah, sometimes the sibling rivalry can get to be a bit much in our family games
