Board Game Arena

Arena is now fixed, the settings have been reverted.
Enjoy your games!

I've recently noticed that there is a player who plays a lot in 7 Wonder Duel Arena who often asks his opponent to abandon the game when he's facing an unfavorable setup - typically when he is second player and only has access to one refresh wonder. Found him. It's a shame because he seems to be an...

As stated in the FAQ link provided by Jellby, the player who used the most time in that game loses Arena points the same way as if they actually lost the game.
But the other player does not earn points, so the offending player does not gain anything from it, but he makes his opponent lose something.

Also, as stated by Meeplelowda a little above, this feature is exactly presented as something to allow people to take more time to play, having an emergency or being on vacation are just 2 possible use of this feature given as an example.

You can also send me a PM s...

I mean editing the .m44 file in a text editor. .m44 files use the JSON format, which is a text-based data format: it can be read and edited in any text editor. All the examples I've provided are implemented in BGA (which means that the game will enforce the rule), provided it's added in the .m44 fil...

Hi, Tank destroyer are not implemented at all in BGA, so you won't get this rule to work! Many rules, especially ones related to units, work out of the editor, without modifying the .m44 file (by placing the correct marker on units, for example): engineers, snipers, Tigers, most terrain, etc. For ot...

I don't know exactly how the matchmaking works, I guess it tries to match you with people currently looking for a game and around you level. So if at the time you're looking for a game, only strong players are also looking for a game, bad luck. You can see the preferences are disabled because if you...

They appear are locked/disabled, meaning they don't matter for this mode... Although I agree that it's not obvious from the UI, but the UI is at times... perfectible
