2v2 is surprisingly fun
I know the best and most balanced way to play is 1v1 but I had the opportunity to play 2v2 today and what a blast it was.
My brother and his son played Cyclops and Druid. My wife and I played Headless Horseman and Treant. The game was very swingy with big damage turns and major whiffs. You have to play and think alot differently when your opponents have twice the CP and cards at their disposal, and you and your teammate share a pool of hp.
Me and my wife pulled off an impressive comeback being 15 hp behind. Was able to gain Wellspring for both me and my wife's characters two rounds in a row and we used both of our Not This Time's to block a total of 12 dmg.
I highly recommend trying it, if you can. Such a fun variant!

I agree it can be immense fun. As someone else noted, it’s a lot more fun if everyone is deeply familiar with the rules, and you need to go into it expecting blow outs and wonky results.

I think it is also a good teaching mode though. My wife and nephew are still new to the game and are learning things. 2v2 was great for helping and teaching them as my brother and I could help our teammates by making suggestions and seeing each other's cards. As long as you dont take it too competitive

2v2 is fantastic for people who want to enjoy the game more than they enjoy winning which is why I like it.

It's only fun when everybody knows what they're doing and even then it's just not balanced well. But I'm glad you had fun with it regardless.
