Re: Option to remove bad cards

Oh I'm referring to handling both. If I have 9 eggs, I want them spread on 9 birds. If I have 12, I want those extra 3 on the same bird. It's a tiny edge, and yes, an underpowered card, but I actually kinda enjoy that mini game.

Re: Option to remove bad cards

It feels like the thing all the cards (powerful and useless) have in common is what they can do to the early game in particular. I doubt the BGA engine could do this, but I'd find it an interesting variation to remove some number of power outliers (power 5 and some number of duds) in round 1 to smoo...

Re: Needs an undo

Well I pay for it :P. To start tables, etc. It's worth it.

It's just a relatively unusual model. I am looking into the dev side of things, fwiw.

Re: Please return to the 2-player model for arena

Or just use the fact that there are 3 people playing 3-player games and 2 people playing 2 player games? So 200K 2-player games is 400K total player engagements with the game, and 90K 3-player games is 270K total player engagements with the game. I don't understand why you think this math is so comp...

Re: Needs an undo

Cheers on the reply - I (honestly) had no idea about the volunteer-run part of it. It's a little unique in my experience for a paid service. But on the whole I'm a happy customer. I'm going to file that studio.boardgamearena.com thing away and see if I can make time to check it out. If I think I can...

Re: Please return to the 2-player model for arena

I seriously wonder if this is just an attempt by BGA to take strain off their servers. Zero evidence, conspiracy theory nonsense. Look, I'll grant I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek here, but there IS evidence of at least the decrease in WINGSPAN games. You can actually look that number up publicly...

Re: Option to remove bad cards

I think this would be an intriguing option but I'm generally opposed to it for competitive settings. The "power 4" are obvious power outliers, and after that the Wood Duck has a unique ability to end a game in the first round, but while some of those birds are pretty bad in the abstract, m...

Re: Please return to the 2-player model for arena

I seriously wonder if this is just an attempt by BGA to take strain off their servers. The number of games fell off a cliff last season, and decreased further this season. Outside of the gurus, the overall engagement of the player base is definitely saying something. I support the idea of switching ...

Re: Needs an undo

+1 to the idea of an Undo. How does one get to work on one of these projects? It's a bit strange (as a paying user) that the "fix it yourself or be grateful" idea is so dominant in this thread, but I might be interested because I'm enjoying this game quite a bit though the interface for th...

Re: Not loving the 3 player model in the arena, opinions?

I'm starting to legitimately wonder if this change was a result of BGA putting their thumb on the scale to have fewer games and take the heat off of their servers. It does feel (unscientifically, just the feel of playing lately) that the servers have been more stable since I stopped playing Wingspan...
