The winner takes full credit, so no advantage: they just save (very little) time

I took part in the Azul World Championship in Lisbon. The BGA qualifier was strictly 2p, but once the eight qualifiers made it to Lisbon, the championship itself was played entirely 4p. Funny thing is, on the very last move, I had to decide who would world champion and who finished second based on ...

I'm extremely happy to see such an event! To me it's just an extremely strange format you've chosen. I've played TTR for 18 years, and while I haven't played in a ton of in person tournaments it's been close to a dozen at this point, all of which have been 4 player except I think one at 5. I'm not ...

Yeah I mean, if they ain't playing and leave you all the sixers you need, it doesn't matter which one you pick

I'd ship the miami route and keep the other two. yours is better b/c it is shorter. Your set is not better than the two i originally mentioned. Ok, so here is the 'example of skill' you asked for: 1) Maybe not every top player would agree with me, but I'd always keep 11+10 rather than 11+8 because ...

There's a hosting option for that on BGA already, though it doesn't make much of a difference. In many games it doesn't make difference because most set of tickets have just one reasonable choice, but in some games (5-10%? idk) it makes quite a difference to know if the opponent is gonna have one t...

I'm totally on board, I've asked that myself already, I'm afraid they'll never do it though

Here is the current view of possible choice of the next TTR Europe Arena for gurus : [img] Turn order determined before would be a nice addition to the rules. It's not so much impactful as on USA maybe, but it still matters. Just be careful that it doesn't end up splitting the "non 1912" ...

Check out this game. If given free rein on the ticket deck I would have picked my starting hand. Ended the game with 9 points. Absolute blinder by my opponent. https://boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=909690160 Good call from the opponent to block, but you made a bunch of mistakes. (I hope you'l...
