Board Game Arena

Competitive format of this game (and almost every other) is 2p. 5p is unplayable, I cant understand anyone who plays with those settings. Only with big map is playable but still not good.

If you play 3p predominantly, take the cards the best for you, unless the difference is two tiers (passing AI central because you have no science tags to take Acquired Company gen 2 as Teractor, or something similar). That's how you will learn to draft. If you do pvp you will never learn how to eval...

I guess if we go by sport analogy, the best arena format would be solo TM game with same seed. The majority of sports created being solo or pseudo-solo record breaking based. As to go back on topic, rotation between format would be a great idea to please everyone. And i would gladly play 2p arena b...

I will say this and bow out - not predictable - sane. You pick cards in draft you need, thinking the 2nd player will cut Terraforming Ganymede from Saturn. You play the game without any mistakes, hated but enduring and leading at the end, just to get beaten by one point because the second player in...

The interactions are minimal. While in group, cyclists or runners can save energy, racers with good finish will dictate slower tempo etc, but ultimately everybody is running at their own pace. In cycling, individuals can break away from the group, runner outsiders can choose to dictate their own pac...

Because it simply is. Every board game that can be played 1v1 is the most competitive that way, because of the nature of the game. In each sport you get teams playing against each other, you don't get football or basketball with 3 teams randomly trying to score on one another. That's chaos. It is t...

Fun and competetivness are two seperate things (although for some like myself they go hand in hand), it's quite easy to imagine that 3p might be more enjoyable for more players looking for strictly "fun" factor, and 2p for palyers looking for a more competetive approach. It's just a matte...

The most competitive format for any game has to be 1v1. We can argue if TfM is more fun/better to play 3p or 2p, but from a competitive standpoint, 2p is superior. Also, playing 2p is much harder, because the mistakes you make are less forgiving. Also, you get the most influence on the game state an...

I won four out of six OTB tournaments I played in Serbia and I was in the final twice. Obviously, not a big player base here, but still a great experience. The most common settings were 4p base + prelude.
