Outwitter Burnout

I definitely suggest doing 2v2s for now. I reached the same point as you with 1v1s, it's just annoying and definitely takes a lot of the enjoyment out of the game getting matched up as P2 against the same player over and over and over and over, and over and over again.

Find a good partner to play 15-20 2v2 games at a time with. I did this and am having a refreshed enjoyment of Outwitters for sure.

For one, the strategy is definitely completely different. Turn order is huge, and forcing your opponent to block his own partners units by not killing them when you can is such a critical strategy that does not exist in 1v1s.

Also, with 4 people playing, you won't have to take turns as often as you do in 20 1v1 games so that is another plus. And as you say, sometimes you are just not in the mood and having a lot of high-level games can seem like work rather than playing a game. This is where your partner can come in too! I've definitely had moments when I didn't feel like counting how many wits I had or watching the last 6 turns to figure out what I should do, and can simply ask my partner what he is thinking.
