Playtesting "Perfect Lunch"

In order to expedite the playtesting and balancing process, I have taken the advice of a colleague and built my game using part of a regular deck of playing cards (it translates well since there are 4 suits).

Testing Details
Date: 10/1 10:30PM
Players: Megan and Rod
Rounds Played: 4

Results

• Each round lasted no more than 2 minutes
• The results felt "too random"
• Strategy was not evident
• Very little interaction between players

Changes Made and Improvements Needed

• Each player starts with 2 cards and draws 1 card, then may discard or lay one card face up (only one of each suit)
• Players can pick up cards discarded by other players
• Need to try with multiple people, might be fun with more than 2
• Need to change the deck contents so not all 'suits' are equal
• Need to add wild cards and ways to hurt opponents
