Board Game Arena

I didn't mean "choose a random card every time one needs to be drawn", but "shuffle the deck by picking cards randomly one by one". That should give a predetermined order all the same. Oh! Sorry, misunderstood. And agreed - as I understand it, shuffling algorithms do essentially...

I wonder why they use different algorithms for dice and shuffling. Shuffling an N-card deck can be trivially done by "rolling an N-sided die", then an (N-1)-sided die, then an (N-2)-sided die, etc. I guess it's a less efficient way of doing it. Given that shuffling is not that frequent (c...

Why there is no game mode like professional mode but without USELESS ELO number dump? Why there is no friendhip mode kind of mode but WITH PENALTIES?????????????????????? How may times I must ask this in here??????????? I feel sorry for your question mark key. What did it ever do to you? What is a ...

That's absolutely not true. Lots of games on here have weighted results for winning based on the difference in score and how the other player is ranked compared to you. How the other player is ranked compared to you? Yes, absolutely, I never denied that. But difference in score makes no difference....

But also, Dominion used to be on here but the publisher decided to take it away and make their own online implementation of it. You might try contacting the publisher and asking them to change their mind, but short of that, it's not coming back.

I wouldn’t think any such thing. The size of your win never has anything to do with how much Elo you get or how much it advances you in Arena or anything like that. Winning by 1 is the same as winning by 100. When it comes to standings here (and, frankly, most places, including sports standings etc)...

If you use Tof63's extension (available for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers), hiding games where your Elo is below 100 is an option for both Arena and Tournaments.

Rule Changes don't include Can't Stop changing from 3 columns for victory to 5 columns for victory. When they say "rule changes" they mean to Arena mode as a whole. Each individual game has its own Arena setup that can and do change, but here they're referring to things like "the k-f...

Since I started playing 3 player Arena games [...] My last Barrage game [...] Are you multi-accounting? The account you are posting from has never played Arena-mode Barrage (and the last game you played was nearly a month ago). You should be aware that using multiple accounts, even if they never pl...

For the record #2: another Heat race. The 250 won and that's ok, but a 0 elo got 2nd. Me last again. And you kee saying that nothing's off here. Nex time I'll take notes of everybody's cards, if you say it's allowed. 0 Elo means they have never played the game before on BGA . It says nothing about ...
