Board Game Arena

I'm sorry but this new version is terrible. Each turn takes at least double the time to play of what it used to take. BGA decided to take out several of the fun cards when playing with five players including the priestess and the 9 card. Also no jesters, assassins, psychophants and now 6 is a new c...

As you can probably tell by your lack of replies, BB isn't a frequented game anymore (that doesn't mean it is a bad game) but because of lack of people, most players on the public circuit will only expect to find one extra player. Also, this game gets harder with more players and is exceptionally ha...

Are there convention style rules to Sky Team, similar to Hanabi? I know there are some rules I try to follow, for example, on the last round, play the axis first and co-pilot clears planes before flaps. Normally no, and thankfully so. The convention system is Hanabi's version of quarterbacking and ...

Have had many games where people are only picking random cards all the way through, and only enough to use all 45 pieces without having cards left, and somehow have completed 8 or more journeys... in once case 12... How is such a thing possible? I haven't seen your game replay, but at a guess, they...

2 player. Player 1 has a baron and princess, player one plays baron. Round over.

Hello, Your post is a little over the place so I'll break it down into what I think you are saying. For Venus Next and Turmoil. If you mean, when are they coming to BGA? The answer is very unlikely. Those are considered by many to be the worst of the expansions, and even if they weren't, they would ...

Most of the arguments I have heard in favour of the prelude are the along of the lines of it shortening the game, rather than anything to do with making the game more competitive. Since turns are timed and all of the micromanaging stuff is done by BGA, I'd argue that the preludes offer little more t...

The Rook Advanced is an interesting one. It's a character I never liked too much at first; it slowly grew on me overtime. Yes there are those niche, situations like the gold bar, but getting people out of danger, or getting a player somewhere better suited is where the Rook shines. Much like the bas...

Hi Romain672, I appreciate the feedback. I'll clarify a few of my character decisions. Spotter (advanced): My play style often centers around using events, and the spotter does this really well. While the +1 stealth is good, plenty of other events such as floor access manipulation, guard movement an...

Has anyone encountered apprentice or beginner players that absolutely dominate games where they are doubling scores of definately not beginner players? Feels like expert players making multiple accounts just to crush new people and ego boost. Or is this only my experience? It's possible there might...
