Only saw this now. Thanks for putting in the work and getting us those stats! This confirms how absolutely insane Alchemist are, and we really need to get an option to ban them (or another balance update...). An 80% winrate is unheard of, and even 90% among expert players is just one of the most unb...

Funny enough, I've become a Guru again in Tapestry this morning. So now feel a bit silly for making this post yesterday of all days, but at the same time still justified at what I wrote. It appears you haven't checked the FAQ : Well you're right. I didn't know about the hard limit of 100 players. Th...

I've been struggling with this for a while, so it's about time I wrote down my thoughts. I think that the Guru system, while being a great concept, has some serious problems. To sum it up in one sentence, it seems to be really hard to say a BGA Game Guru for a long period. My situation: I'm one of t...

Another problem is that the Guru system is kinda broken, making it really hard to get a decent conversation going there. I've been in and out of the Guru group like 5 times now. At the moment I am once again out of the group (while being in the top 10 for the game), so I cannot vote, nor contribute ...

Some interesting, but weird choices in there imo. Dark Ages in 1st is controversial. I agree that it can be gamechanging, but I disagree about the "any situation" part. I can rarely find good uses for it midgame, while grinding through tier 2-3. Sure you can still steal a landmark with it,...

My pack (ordered on day 1 ofc) finally arrived today. I only went through the Civs briefly, so I might have missed some minor changes. But overall most of them appear to be the same as already implented in BGA, if you enable experimental adjustments. From the base set, there are 3 civs that got sign...

Highest score on Isolationists for now (537): https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=465775760 - also second highest losing score (452), higher than the 2023 record.

551 points on Leaders, not quite making the list: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=465365608

Got that slightly better against Poser with 437. Don’t think it’s the highest though. https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=347142597 Got another fun one as well. Got 5 trap cards in a row and collected 6 traps in total. Try to beat that ;) https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=418894327 DHMS: 49...

I have been registered as a developer for a bit, but haven't done anything yet. This would be a little big for a first project, but also one I'd be quite invested into. Might give it a try. No promises
