Any additional suggestions on how this rules conflict should be resolved? Note that using the play-or-pass method (which we’ve tried) results in a lot of replacing one dead card per turn to eventually reach a one-eyed jack needed to open a desired spot on the board.

As the game progresses, the anticipation continues to build as well. Since you already have to deal with the luck of the draw on what cards you get, adding a teammate heightens the luck and anticipation of what’s to come even more.
