Penalty for eliminating your partner

Suggestion Idea: They get no cards from their partner, turn ends immediatly. Maybe they do not get to take the next turn.

Specifics: Penalize the player that "elimantes" his teammate from the game.

Why it is needed: To keep overly aggressive players from penalizing their teammates. One partner gets cards and purposfully postions himself for his partner to get 5 cards and effectively get another turn in the same turn.

Priority** (1-5): 4

I would rather that my teamate gets my cards than a enemy, but if they are just going out of there way to take you out just cause u have cards but you have a fairly good position then it is wrong

Poor suggestion in my opinion. It can be in your advantage to take out your partner, so why should you be penalized for doing so?

I agree with sully.

Plus, those who eliminate teammates are inherently penalized as they lose a teammate.

I don't like to eliminate teammates, but if it comes down to a situation where I need to, I would want the cards. This is just a poor suggestion and it sounds like you might have taken a loss/ from a guy who did this in the game. If so, get over it. No one likes a cry baby.

Not the greatest idea. It is sometimes good strategy to take out your teammate. And if somebody takes advantage of you and you don't like it... well, meet negative feedback and flame wars.

I've actually never had to take out my partner and in some games we end up splitting the board in half when we win.

If your partner wins, you get the points anyway. If your partner is only there to backstab you regardless of winning, taking away the cards for eliminating you will do nothing to discourage them from attacking you.

a partner is some one who plans from turn one for his second to kill him for cards to kill bad guy for cards to kill badguy for cards to..... get the point...

I actually think I've won the vast majority of my doubles/triples games by either eliminating a partner or having them eliminate me. If it's an escalating game it's by far the best strategy I know, since you know what color cards they have and can usually squeeze an extra cash in out of it.
