Implement double-sided cards?

Open dkirkby opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

The random board is currently created treating all 400 words as independent. However, the physical game has 200 double-sided cards, which means there are 200 pairs of words that can never appear together. Is it important to reproduce this?

I just checked that some obvious pairs that you might want to avoid are not on the same card, e.g. PUMPKIN + PIE and AIR + FORCE. This suggests that the words assigned to each card are essentially random.

I'm not convinced this is necessary...

I agree - it would be necessary to exactly reproduce the physical game, but does not seem to be important for the game play.
