Re: Marine Worlds Universities

As Azoken said, marine worlds has a special action card, association I, which when upgraded allows you to take universities from the supply. So you must've played someone with that upgraded action card. Further clarification, if you take a duplicate hand size uni, it doesn't increase your hand size ...

Re: elo and arena

Hello! When I start an Arena game from the SOLO game page, NOT the Play Now page, it seems like I can select the ELO of my opponents by checking the boxes of Average, Good, Strong Etc... (Language can also, seemingly, be selected?) But, eventhough I have checked the ELO Level boxes that I prefer, I...

Re: Analysis of gameplay from someone 500 elo or higher

Why this game in particular? It wasn't very competitive due to the lower elo player making lots of mistakes which just snowballed into them getting outpaced while they actively helped push the break without setting up for endgame. They stacked their hand for late game, ignoring early game synergy, w...

Re: Looking for feedback

I agree. But what would you have done with the cards action instead? Retrospectively, it seems clear, that the opponent would go for a quick break. But was is that obvious? Rather get an X marker for cards here? Diverse is a good sponsor, I think I would've kept it in hand over the release of paten...

Re: Looking for feedback

I'm not the best person to review games as my gameplay is far from optimal and I often make mistakes. 26 turns is a fast paced game. My feedback, for what it's worth, is that your breaking for money indeed enabled your opponent to outpace you, since they could break while playing a sponsor. From the...

Re: How works flock ability in Rescue station?

The game doesn't track which animal is in which enclosure, just that the requirements are met when playing/releasing animals. In the case of rescue station, any animal that's been dug and clipped counts as being part of the zoo. Flocking technically uses no enclosure, even though the wording on the ...

Re: yuann724 is AI

Likely just a smurf account. Their playtime is at the lower limit for some experienced players, especially if the opponent takes significantly longer. They can plan their next move on the opponent's turn. And their animation speed is set to instant.

Good point, I didn't account for that.

Re: Balance Reflections:

1. “The winners’ average is 1.46.” Is this statistic only for 2‑player games? Because if it also includes 3–4 player games (even though those are not very common), it might actually show the opposite of what you’re trying to demonstrate. It is for all games but the large majority of them are 2p. Al...

Re: bug or missed rule

Just to clarify,and withoutthe map in front of me to know if this is even possible,if your building is actually touching - asin bordering with a finite length] - a part of the outdoor areas that hasn't been covered over,then I think the effect should still work ? By the adjacency effect building, I...
