Board Game Arena

Approval is not enough: You need the publisher to be willing to pay the developer for implementing the change too.

Ask yourself this: Would they be willing to pay money for this? Would the dev be willing to do it for free? Why would anyone spend resources on this?

If you‘re not actively participating in a game you deem lost, you already destroyed the fun for others, as you call it. If I go into a game as a 3- or 4-player game, I will naturally play differently than I would in 2-player. So with you dropping out in whatever way, you change the game mid-game.

Everyone has their opinion; one of my opinions - this is why 3p+ on BGA is less fun. I only got a guru vote one season; my vote is for arena to be 2p to avoid this situation, and many other related ones.. I was always sad that once an arena game becomes 2P it never ever moves away from it; 3P arena...

Here is a before and after. Ok, I misunderstood the situation, I thought we are speaking about initial 10 hand buying. Yeah, in rest of the draft and buy I agree, will be nice to not see , because it can give hints in specific situations. You also see the initial 10; you just have to do a little ma...

Yes, you can see how many your opponent bought if they do it before you do.

Drafting does not add skill or mitigate luck per se. It favors a different set of skills. Improvising and playing against unknowns well is just a different skill. And you can have good and bad luck with drafts too: Your opponent may be dealt AI and 3 bad cards, whereas you get their Jov mult and 1 g...

I'm pretty sure the organizers won't allow you to keep notes during games. This is not something supported by the rule book so it should not be allowed. 2 hours are, indeed, a little harsh. I played a real-life TfM tournament once and I think we had a 2.5 hour time limit, but maybe it was 2 hours as...

I think MS is super important in higher players count games. Awards can get you free points from others, while MS takes points from the whole table. Then you account the faster tempo, mathematically speaking there are just no cards more efficient than MS in that sense. Get your milestones, and play...

Hopefully you won't be sat at a 5p table—this format is horrendous for tournaments. Pure luckfest if you ask me. Expect a shorter game, by approx. 1 gen per additional player. Ergo: Milestones become more important, and awards now have a second place so you only gain 3 VP towards a specific opponent...
