Board Game Arena

Waiting one or two hrs to play - it's just not worth the wait. I have looked at the numbers frequently and I see that real-time games are about as numerous this is Arena (about half the wait time, then base game). Turn-based is precisely the "match-made-in-heaven" mode for platforms such a...

Real-time is fading fast. I just don't know how DoW site was so popular (never more than 5 min wait) and now real-time has gone by the wayside. You have two real-time game modes that are virtually the same...increasing the wait time for those of us who thrive on real-time play. I have tried to play ...

Topic: Quit Games By " Conceding ." Players who consistently Quit the "game," using the Concede option. Like in Chess - concede means you've thought something through, you've recognized it as true, just or proper; you've admitted it...that's not giving up, it's not quitting in th...

single game wanst even developped at first on bga and was added only in training mode latter.

Wasn't there a certain issue having to do with a player, who was top player, having played only one-sided matches? I do remember reading it somewhere.

I completely disagree - it never worked fine. SO many of the really good maps weren't played because people didn't want to play a "no chance of winning" side in a match. How is that any different here? NO! so just eliminate those Scenario's from the mix just because "people didn't wa...

@Tisaac: Are you telling me your hands are tied? DoW had a popular site run (without support) for ten years and they are forcing BGA to revamp their (DoW's) entire format, the one that worked (profitable) so well for them...Boy, they must have seen you coming! (Wasn't single game play implemented wh...

I don't want to give my life over to it. Sometimes I just want to sit and enjoy a game or two. When I'm playing in real-time, I am more connected to the game and my opponent...I know things. Turn-base is no fun for me at all! After two or three days I lose interest. If you wanted to play a game of M...

Example: Player A making his last attack, resulting in player B having to retreat. Player A is now done with his turn, without drawing new card...Not knowing if his new card is the Ambush card. Thereby Preventing player, A an opportunity to playing his newly (unknown to him) acquired Ambush card (I...

40 real time games played and only 12 games where opponent quit before the second match.

Long wait getting a real time game going. Any reason why you couldn't put the Arena and basic, real-time game in the same que? Being that there is no real difference between the two.

Days of Wonder specifically asked us to enforce two ways game for any competitive settings : ranked game and arena.

And?

And my mother specifically asked me to change my underwear every two weeks.
