Board Game Arena

I think it’s time to close this thread. Everything that could possibly be said about this topic has already been said.

I think a good variant option would be: maximum 1x action passing per era. Then you still keep the option to use it strategically without hindering the game pace unnecessarily. I would be in favor of this. It's not bad when a player 1-actions one time, but when it's half the game, it's very tiresom...

I've lost with Gen 1 AI central. Twice. I've probably only played Gen 1 AI central ~15-20 times before too. Just twice in 5 and a half thousand games? Lucky… must have lost at least half a dozen gen 1 AIC games. Is it lucky, or is Bogeyun just the best player in the world? I think evidence points t...

The fact of the matter is still that TM was not developed and is therefore not balanced to be a 2P-game. As a result, the outcome of a game is much more dependent on luck than normal, which makes it much less fun for Arena games. it may not have been developed to be a 2p game, but by some chance it...

Check the rules. The active player decides the order of effects, regardless of the order in which they are printed on the card.

I don’t have any spreadsheets up on the side like some of you probably do to help assist in what the absolute optimal combo is to play. Where did this idea come from? I’ve never heard of someone using notes or a spreadsheet to assist them, and I’ve been actively discussing this game with a communit...

Hence the game should always be competed with 3+ players in the arena setting. King making is fine bc it affects everyone the same over larger sample of games. I strongly disagree. In a game of 2 weaker players against a strong player, either of the weak players is more likely to target the strong ...

The simplest thing to do is if your opponent takes 1 action, then you take 1 action back. It will become fairly obvious that the game flows faster and better if all players take 2 actions most of the time, but if your opponent insists on taking 1 action all the time, then you won't be at a disadvant...

If I understand correctly, most devs here are freelancers. I've seen the devs answer stuff on these forums so you might be lucky enough for them to elaborate. My example above, however, illustrates how it is NOT feasible, in general, to decide whether a chain of events will succeed or not and that'...

I think the tutorial could use some more explanation of why you are doing certain actions instead of just telling you to click on things.
