Odd Number of Players in Sealed Deck

(1/3) > >>

Gabe:
How do other hosts handle an odd number of players in sealed deck?

Oddly enough I don't know that I've ever run into an odd number of players for Sealed deck before Iowa States. Normally players can trade with their first round opponent, but with an odd number of people one player doesn't have an opponent to trade with leaving them at a potential disadvantage.

What we chose do to in this instance was have the host open packs and make reasonable trades as if he was the player's opponent. That seemed to be the most fair solution.

I would think a relatively fair alternative could also be having the odd player join a pair and just have the 3 trade among each other.

Red Wing:
I have bribed/forced/coerced people in other categories into playing sealed :maul:

I don't think that works...you'd have two players with the same deck competing for the same cards and the other player getting a higher price for the cards he's receiving.

That's a fair point, I hadn't considered the duplicate deck aspect. I just also don't know that every host would be able to have extra packs on hand every time.
