Is Jump In Equal or Fair?
Here’s a suggestion: How about actually making the decks chosen at “random” by players be just that, RANDOM! Instead all I see and/play are people with decks that are NOT “random” AT ALL! Cards like Preposterous Proportions and the ones that multiply Rats and Rabbits to undefendable numbers are NOT cards that should be in play in Jump In games. I am very tired of playing game after game only to be beaten by players who seem to pull the EXACT right cards at EXACTLY the right moments , as if they just pulled them out of a Magic hat! There is nothing remotely fair and/or random in Jump In, even though I have resigned and tried over a dozen deck combinations I have had NONE of the cards that are being thrown at me repeatedly. I have encountered players with more than 4 of any one card, which according to Jump In rules, should not happen or be allowed. What fun is battling fairly , down to the wire , about to win and have Preposterous Proportions be thrown giving the opponent numbers that cannot possibly be defended against? Makes me want to delete this game and not play any longer. It is NOT “fun” to try to learn the decks and/ or individual cards of those decks when all you get is pummeled to death by an opponent that , for all intents and purposes appears to be playing with a chosen, customized deck and NOT a random selection at all. Please make Jump In a fair and equitable contest for ALL players and NOT where those who play the way I have just described. These are not “skilled” players engaging in an honest game but bullies that enter this game to just beat the **** out of those of us using our “randomly’ chosen decks. After a dozen “resignations” and reassigned “deck” choices, I , for one, have seen clearly that there is nothing remotely fair”random” about the decks of my opponents, but then again, maybe we’re all dumb enough to think we are playing real people when ALL we are playing is against a computer algorithm designed to beat you, no matter how well you are playing? Time and time again, I watch as cards needed appear like , well, the name of this game says it all, “Magic”. Either we are up against cheating players or a cheating machine, which is it? Am I the only one experiencing this in Jump In?
