Just to be clear.  I was not worried about losing a single game.  What I was concerned about whether "resigning" had the impact of "trashing" one's ratings - as the first post implied, i.e. more significant than just a loss.

I'm curious to know if you can set up a table to play with just friends, rather than being available to everyone?

I resigned my first game as I was trying to play with friends and accidentally ended up in a game with a stranger and had no idea what any of the cards were, plus also strange cards in my starting hand.  Too confusing. I guess my ratings are trashed.

Thanks all. 

I can see I've misunderstood about my opponent's decks. 

I didn't realise/remember that there was an IRL rule that you couldn't look through the discard. But it seems strange that you can't count.  The reason I was interested  was that I had the Gardens (or was thinking about getting them) and their VP depends on how many cards you have, so its quite strange to not know.  Likewise the philosopher's stone in  Alchemy who's cash value requires you to know how many cards you have in deck and discard - I'd have thought it is essential to be able to count for that.

I can see how many cards in my deck.  I can see how many cards are in my opponent's deck and discard.  However, I can't see how many cards are in my discard.  Am I missing something?
