Board Game Arena

Some people just like to request a rematch, especially if they think their game had been fun, regardless of winning or losing.

I don't think 40 wins against a less competitive-minded player is a violation of rules.

Sometimes when I lose so hard that the game ends well before it does, I take it as a challenge "how many points can I salvage from this state?" And that's why usually a 0-100 lose is still a good game for me. But that depends on the game. For example, an engine-building game, where my oppo...

Seconded! The current situation is that London is London only, Tokyo has Tokyo and London powers, and Paris has all the options. And each of these games has a useless "city" option that can only be set to that city... Either we should have a unified game, or these games should be updated t...

Well, Elo flattens itself when there's a large amount of randomness, no need to change the formula.

They are working on an undo button (with the unfortunate consequence of breaking some ongoing games). My last comment was very negative, but seeing actions being taken has made me feel better

Hi, I feel the preconstructed starting hands are actually a bit unbalanced. Would it be possible to include a simpler "deal starting hands randomly" option?

And the roughly 10,000 mini expansions and their combinations (including very silly ones such as a meteor hitting a volcano). I want to try them all!

The basic assumption of Elo on BGA is that players play for rank, not winning.
Occasionally this isn't the designer's intention, and they will implement a winner-takes-all style Elo.

But not really for a normal game like Wingspan.
