Board Game Arena

Hey I know this was an old post but if you are still around the rules are when you claim the yellow or black zero star tile you are allowed to view the 3 tiles that are removed during set up and decide wether you want to swap it with one of those.

The logic of higher elo person wins more is just not applicable here. Both of you who commented don’t even play this game.
