Board Game Arena

Thank you for confirming that only the arena ELO is considered. However, in this case, too much is depending on luck. It needs to match players with a similar enough ELO. And if it cannot, then the player's permission to be matched with anyone.

Overall you are correct. There is one you missed is the one where I was tied on 2nd place and got -18 (1st place +21), which is a lot for a 2nd place,even tied. Also the latest one that I lost 27 points being 3rd. So that's what I was talking about. I need to win 3 games out of 4 to advance!!! Howev...

Does anyone know how exactly the arena games are scored? I ended up on 2nd place (no tie) and I lost almost double the points I won being the 1st. Similarly, if I end on 3rd place, I am losing almost 3 times the points I am winning being 1st. This does not make any sense to me.

The Friendly Robber rule based on 3 points alone is ruining the game, and it should be definitely improved. If players have 3 points, or have 4 roads or more, or drew 2 dev cards or more, they should be able to be robbed. I hope next arena season we’ll see a better Friendly Robber rule.

I know it's not zero 5s but, WTH? What's up with the algo?
