If you're losing, you can resign and lose the game. I'd like to abolish the "joint resignation" rule, which allows a draw. Those who resign often do so because they believe their opponent is in good faith, but in some cases, it's simply a technique to avoid playing disadvantageous games. M...

Publicly naming them is not allowed and will get you moderated. Can you give an exact link to this rule, please?

I think it is right that Arena is played in the most played mode. Maybe an Arena with all the expansions present could be included b...

The victory is given as 1 and the defeat 0, since there are various ways to win, putting the points would not be correct or at least would be misleading in 50% of cases. To see the type of victory you have to enter and look at the match statistics.

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. Statistically, about one in three times, the oppon...
