Hi, I just finished a game of Concordia. https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=795748626 After the last move of the last player, I had the Praefectus Magnus; and after the counting of the points, me and another player both had 90 points (the winner had 97). However, both me and the other player wit...

It's no more poor form than playing a tennis match only with topspin shots from the baseline and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes; or a football match where you almost never leave your side and win with 1:0. It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it's within the rules. What I like even l...

This is going to be really hard! Even chess is 50/50 on who goes first! In fact, that's the luck factor for all turn-based games: What's the player order before the first move? And games like Terra Mystica and Caylus have other luck factors before the games; like what bonus tiles are drawn, or in w...

I didn't know it was possible.

To be perfectly clear, this isn't really about which side is right and which side is wrong. The main point I wanted to show was that the two viewpoints are absolutely incompatible with each other, and this type of ambiguity ALWAYS leads to general toxicity in a ranked setting. In that case, one pos...

Thanks for the answers. I have now given the player in question a red thumb, and then got prompted with another message from BGA, whether it's just my personal opinion or I recommend nobody plays with them. I selected the first option (just personal opinion), and it worked. I also found out that cli...

I assume that "abandon game" means: The game is aborted as if it had never been played; no ranking consequences for anyone; while surrendering means: The person who surrenders loses ELO points. I'm asking because I've never been in that situation. If that is the case: I agree with you to r...

you can give them a private redthumb, that should be enough. Thanks for the tip, I hadn't seen it the first time. Question: Is it possible to take a red thumb back? When I clicked the red thumb icon I got a message that I will never again play with this player. This sounds a bit extreme and final, ...
