¿Have you thought in a 2v2 mode? Even if the turns takes longer or if doesn't count in the elo rating i think it would be very fun to play with a friend in a team, and even more fun if our phobies can work together (ex: His Ted and my Jill)

Devs already said they don't have plans for 2vs2, and personally it would either be boring as hell or extremely infuriating, not fun at all
