While there are many ways to play Kards, you can only play in one way with friends, making the game with your friends lackluster, repetitive and unbalanced if one of the people playing is a newbie. So i'll be suggesting some new ways to play.
Draft Mode
Both players must choose in a draftesque way a series of cards. But, each time you're faced with the choices, you have around 10 seconds to choose one of the options given. Choosing a card resets the timer. Reaching 40 cards ends the deck. Now, to add some more details: If a players has golden cards, those cards that show in draft will be golden. Also, when the timer goes completely down, a random card is choosen.
Classic mode
Both players are given an already built deck (Not of random cards, but more like an optimized deck like the preset ones you can unlock).
