Re: Weak Cards Banlist Discussion!

I would prefer to see the following remain off the ban list. There's no statistical rationale, but I like these cards circulating around because when I see them in a draft sometimes I say "is this the game I can make X card work?". Usually I come to my senses and say "Nah, can't be&qu...

Arena reset

Did all Agricola Arena players get reset down to Bronze (rather than from Elite to Silver as in previous seasons)? Or was my Elite performance so bad last season that I skipped down to Bronze as punishment? :D

Re: Weak Cards Banlist Discussion!

It sounds like this is 2 separate decisions: 1) Creating the option for a bank weak cards list. It sounds like there's significant interest in this, but whether it can happen depends on the publisher agreeing and dev time in doing it. But if it is possible, it's only an option, no one has to play w...

Re: Banlist Discussion!

I think the card set about right, but I'm an sometimes good, sometimes bad, player. For me, Arena is in a good spot and we should play another season with this set and format.

PS - Beer Table can give you 10-12 pts, but you might throw your game away to get them ...

Re: Nuisance Confirmations are killing turn-based Agricola

Thanks, Acerbic. I love the game and love the implementation. I five-star it anytime the prompt pops up. I trust a good path forward can be found.

BGA Developers: Please reverse the changes made that have triggered several nuisance approvals. "Would you like to receive a food from the supply triggered by player X's Beer Table?" "Yes - I have thoughtfully considered it and, while it is a close call, I want the food. I will confir...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

Power Leveling: I play mostly Agricola turn-based Arena. Win some, lose more. Rating hovers up and down in the 400s. Like everyone else in my games, we are typically strangers in real life. We are from all over the world. We know each other by our BGA names. I'd like to think that some type of affe...

Re: DOG PARK: Oh yeah, that's a good doggo!

As a dog, it is difficult for me to hold the cards in my paws, so an electronic version is much appreciated.

Re: equipper OCC and blueprint minor imp. interaction

I don't think it is an error. Blueprint allows you to play a guild (Joinery/Pottery/BMW) when taking a minor improvement action. But Blueprint does not turn these cards into Minor Improvements and Blueprint does not allow playing the guilds unless it is done as a minor improvement "action"...
