Board Game Arena

Found guilty again. No ban, no closure of the same fake accounts used season in, season out. Wait for the ban to expire and then start again. Round and round we go. The player was also caught doing this in Hearts arena two seasons ago. Habitual cheating should really lead to account closure after mu...

So the Kingmaker waited until their existing bans had expired, and then waited until the last day of the season. They then played 15 Arena games on the trot, entering 3 of their accounts into every game. How it works is the main account aims to win, usually by racing to 20 points, while the other 2 ...

Have experienced this in normal games and the person even openly confessed from their burner. But in arena its a bit hard cos you don't pick your opponents, no? There was a change to the way Arena matchmaking is done, around a year ago now, maybe less. This change was an improvement overall, but al...

I haven't looked at any of these players' history, but this is a problem that arises in Arena. Someone with no integrity decides they want to be Champion and this is how they might try to do it. In order to get a response from BGA, you will need to: - Document the frequency with which the players ar...

What FSKFSK said. Also try to pay attention to cards where the count may be higher or lower than expected. If you have a 12 in your hand and reckon more than the expected number of 12s have been discarded, you can push a little harder than normal. And the reverse, if you have a card in hand that you...

274 games, 186 wins. The 186th win tipped me into Strong.

I had originally become Average at 125 games, 79 wins.

There is an issue with kingmaking in KoT Arena. I can't name the accounts, due to BGA policy. If something is happening in your games that doesn't look right, it probably isn't right. I'd urge anyone to use the red thumb system and report the issue to moderators. It won't go away otherwise, believe ...

I have to agree. What is the point in playing if we are just going to directly communicate our holdings? Yes you can end up in difficult situations with Retina/Fingerprint scan, but that is part of the joy of the game. Eliminate what you can and take a best guess. I'm sure there are crack the code g...

In your scenarios: 1. I don't mind the K2 pulling the 5 once and yielding it, while the others fight for the 6. It does give information to the table, and gives information to a possible Q high that its maximum is a 3. In the reduced info scenario, if this Q then starts fighting for 4, you have no i...

The card must be played in front of you, not sitting in your hand waiting to be played. But from what I remember, the game will prompt you to play this card before your turn starts, if it is sitting in your hand waiting. Once played in front of you, you'll be prompted at the start of each turn to ei...
