Board Game Arena

Well, I'm not against mixing it up :lol: I think that this option of choosing would lead to playing same board over and over again (which is super boring). But as a training tool and for friendly games it would be the best game mode. Sorry, I don't know how to get the data :( But if you find out and...

Search "pistol star" on youtube. He was the best player in CoB for quite a while and made several good videos discussing the strategy.
If it is about the mechanics: click on the dice you want to use and after that on a tile in the middle.

Personally I'm against it in the competitive format like the arena. But it would be amazing option for friendly games to practice strategy on the selected map.

Great, that is the video we all were missing on YT Good job!

We could build strong CoB engine/AI that could approximate advantage in VP just like it is done in chess in terms of pawns. Example1: having exactly 2 ships on the map is + fo...

Sure, you can record and put it on YT We can also talk strategy while playing, so it would be more fun with discussion. Probably we should move this into private chat.

I don't see how one can loose the first goods points, so my guess is 3. Congrats, you were right too :) Did you consider the need of getting yellow tile 13 to ensure ending up with 3 points? I guess so, because you guessed correctly. Yea, I didn't want to give full answer to early. I could play thi...
