Board Game Arena

I would like some advice on how to close out a game. I'm struggling to end games and instead often find myself dragging out each game, giving the opponent a chance to get back into the game. I can get myself to the midgame, contest for milestones, and generally spend resources efficiently up to that...

I’ve won 80% of games so far, mixture of Marshall and fugitive. My Marshall tactic (which seems to work well) is draw mainly from the middle deck to cut off their main middle game, and guess just 1 hideout (or 2 if 1 is guaranteed).

For example, are people doing production phase together or one at a time? 2. What happens when something goes wrong? Is the game state reve...

Thanks for helping me clarify this

This is how I got better, see if it will help you. 1. Play lots of games. 2. Watch videos discussing strategy, card evaluation and game replays (MarsExpert and ThreatPacifist were the ones I watched) 3. Post links to game replays here asking for advice (the majority of the responses you will get her...
