Let's just say for the sake of argument that someone did do this. P1 passes as you say and now P2 also passes. The game has now essentially been reset and both players start with 10 wits instead of 5. There you go, a counter strategy.

I'm not following your logic here. You're saying the game can be equally balanced for a start with 5 wits each and a start with the second player getting 10 wits. How can it be both?
