Arena scoring scenarios

There are some situations that don't seem to be fully covered in the Arena scoring rules. In early season play, some players play a lot of games at the same time and rapidly rise through the leagues. By the end of a slow, turn-based game, opponents could potentially be 4 leagues apart. If an Elite b...

Re: Green card scoring 2nd edition

In the second edition rule book it states "Count all of the science symbols in your City and on constructed stages of your Wonder". In regards to the second half of the statement, does this mean that if I've used (tucked) a green card to build a wonder that I can still use it as part of s...

Re: Default to Choose Wonder Side Instead of Random?

Default to Choose Wonder Side Instead of Random?

Re: Strategy guides for more than 3 players?

As Wonderful Plays will often advise, you need to be flexible in your strategy and adapt to the game and how all of your opponents are playing. In general, you should know that the reds are less valuable in games with more players. You mentioned that you tend to do well against the players next to y...
