Board Game Arena

Great change. Why wait a day for your opponent to make a move that's their only choice? Only downside I guess is that it could feel a little disorienting to beginners who are just grasping the rules.

It's fun and interesting to consider these tweaks critically but i don't intend to give you the idea that it's unappealing. Bottom line is I'm curious/interested to try any variant that you as the designer want to put out there.

Thanks for sharing your thinking Jon. I understand tweak #1 better now, I hadn't thought about player 2 having all 6 cards to choose from on their 3rd turn a lot of the time. Makes sense. Plus removing howl 1/3 of the time makes sense, although I probably don't opt for it 1/3+ of the time as is - if...

Hello, Thanks for designing Spots, it's a good game that requires being adaptable rather than rigid with strategy. I played it in person Monday night & taught 3 people at a local game meetup, and coincidentally also played the CMYK game Wavelength. Posting as Arena #1 for a brief moment, due to ...

As of today the "1750 rated season winner" is blatantly admitting to rule violations by changing their name to that of a multiple-times warned and deleted account. This also happened two seasons ago and they will switch the name back in a few hours most likely. What a life, sitting in fron...

Sore loser whining thread topic here
I just tried to complete the final die with 11 single-die rolls, unsuccessfully, then lost the game.
Anyone seen a streak like that of more than 11?

The player Buxpb plays all the same games as Praid, For Sale, 7 wonders, etc., and no other games. Hmmm. The player 1Mrx only plays BGA games that Buxpb also plays, For Sale, 7 wonders, etc. Hmmm. Recently whenever Buxpb wins at For Sale, 1Mrx is at the table doing worse Hmmm. Buxpb and 1Mrx were th...

Dear Praid, Congratulations on your victory. For Sale is a simple game, complexity 1 according to BGA. Luck is also a factor, BGA rates this game 3 for luck. So, it is normal to expect a lot of variance in results. Some of the players are top rated on much more complex games, requiring a lot of stra...

+1 to this suggestion from two years ago. Such an easy change that would be very helpful especially on a small screen device.
