Mü
I had forgotten how punishing it is to mess up a bid. Game goes to 200 points and I lost 180 in a single hand! This means that bidding will be very cautious and a hand can even be abandoned with penalties handed out.
I tried Skat a little while ago and Mü's conservative bidding feels similar.
It's quite different from the lightweight tricktakers we have become used to from Japan.
I would like to try again, but Mü is definitely one for gamers.

@iain I briefly pondered getting a set of Mu & More on BGG and never pulled the trigger. What player count do you think it wants?

@iain by the second round I think we had started to get the hang of it better and would have (perhaps) been less likely to crash out so badly.

@iain I enjoyed it and, as Chris said, we were getting the hang of the game by the third hand. We would probably have seen a few bidding stalemates by then which would have been interesting. One of those games that you definitely need to get a few group plays in before it clicks with everyone
