Board Game Arena

Playing with draft in turn-based games nearly doubles the runtime of the game.

Not likely. Jamey is very public with Stonemaier's policy of only putting base games on BGA, no expansions.

I've played it about a dozen times in beta over a year ago and I've never had a single issue with it. Honestly I have no idea why the full release took so long.

I'm assuming this means the Enhanced Turn-Based option is also no longer in alpha? In my experience it has worked flawlessly in both the main branch and the alpha testing branch. Will be nice to not have to play friendly to use it.

If you're interested, perhaps we can play a turn-based game together? That way I can directly point out the issues...
