It's been another great week in Balor, and it's time for a development update! Because of the recent discussion about Mulligans, we decided to go ahead and try it out!!
Starting in the next release, v3.16, custom games will have a variety of new options to toggle.
Creator Goes First - Technically this option is already available by having the password "creator". But this made most passwords kind of easy to guess!
Game Timer - You can now have the option to specify the total time that each player has, in a "chess clock" style of timer. If their time is up, they lose the match!
50 Card Minimum - We're considering moving to 50 card minimum, so this let's people try it out in their custom games.
Mulligans - We're going to try Mulligans! On each player's first turn before they sacrifice, they can choose to shuffle their hand into their deck and draw new cards up to one less than they previously had.
Custom game options like these enable us to try out new features before they make it into the whole game and are a standard part of the games rules. We're looking for players to try out these new features in custom games and tournaments and give feedback on how it works out.
Have some other great ideas for game options? Be sure to let us know!
v3.16 is scheduled for release around the middle of October.
