Re: Repeated "Red Thumbs Down" warnings for legitimate blocking tactics?

If people think doing this is aggressive in TTR, they need to play a few games of Carcassonne. BGA Carcassonne seems less brutal than other places I've played it. But when you've found yourself with 3 meeples locked into features you can't complete, you totally stop worrying about TTR blocking. To ...

Re: Arena games

For real-time or turn-based? I get Galactic Cruise turn-based arenas essentially continuously and I'm pretty much locked at the lowest rank. But Galactic Cruise is a permium game, and I'm a premium user which will have an impact.

A few people complain about it regularly. Everybody would be a lot more noisey considering that roughly 5,000 games a day of Catan are played on the site.

Re: Rules or bug?

Here are the rules for search from pg 14 of the rulebook. Rulebook Search: If an apprentice was assigned to the worker chip, players can pay a sum of 10 money and/or inspiration to look through the deck for a single card, looking only at the back of each card for either the instrument type, musical ...

Re: Can we please change arena!

How is it that we have been stuck with the same set of arena rules for yet another session? There is no place in arena for "friendly robber". The problems with this setting have been documented throughout this thread and others. Worse is the continued play with only 3 as opposed to 4 play...

Re: Is 2 player fun?

2p is quite a different game. The ability to have two pawns/turns per round and ultimately to be able to sequence up to four turns in a row changes the play-style quite significantly. It's still the same game, but much more focus goes onto planning and chaining turns together rather than simply find...

Re: Red thumbs in Arena: player comfort vs. room for manipulation?

There might be a solution: simply blocking the chat whenever you play against someone who has "blocked" you. That way, if there was any prior offense, communication is no longer possible. This might work for Mountain Goats, but dipping into other games forums you'll find people using red ...

Re: Dice deck

Well, I've always been happy with the dice anyway, but looking at the way the Dice deck is set up it's spectacularly bizzare. - A stack with 36 cards is build. On these cards the results of 2 dices are written based on the expected statistical probabilities: 2=1; 3=2x; 4=3x; 5=4x; 6=5x; 7=6x; 8=5x; ...

Re: Add Undo Button?

Game speed is already handled by the turn timer. If you want a quick game; set it low, want to agonise over your decisions; set it high. This is a different concern entirely. I don't think it is, because there's no requirement to use all your timer, and no endless bank to put it in. A game with a 3...
