red cards in flat rate: the ultimate in bad luck?

I know a lot of people love to complain about bad luck, specifically the dice. But from time to time, it seems every card I am getting is red. Of course, this isn't always the way, I get my share of 3 turn tenner's, but when you start getting 5 red cards in a row, this is gonna be the difference in winning and losing. To me, red cards are bad luck, much more so than the dice themselves.

Play escalating and the problem is solved

30 rounds and not a single red in flat rate will also screw you over pretty bad. I think Razor got that once

If you seem to be getting bad cards and your opponents are getting good ones... KILL THEM, and take theirs.

Problem solved.

I got all red sets for the first 3 cash-ins while everybody else got mixed and blue sets. But dont worry, it all evened out in the end. I still managed to survive through the shit sets and once I started getting some mixed sets I won!

I like this solution, although in a 1v1 it's kind of redundant. :roll:

just finished a game where on round 4 three players played a red set and the fourth player played his red set in round 5 - made for funny conversation.

Well, I'm assuming you know the rules of Flat Rate Card games going into them, right? Cards, just like the dice, are part of the game. You can play no cards games if you like longer games...or Escalating Card games to keep them shorter.

I love the Flat Rate Card games the most, BTW
