Board Game Arena

I have no idea if the BKGM rules are in use anywhere. It suprised me too to find this variant.

3. A hand is the smallest complete unit, spanning from a deal to one player going out. I believe round = game in this context. It consists of several hands, until one player accumulates enough points (100 or 250). Games can be further stacked into a multi-game match. 1. A major difference is that a ...

I googled that doubling cube rule. Google AI is not tremendously reliable, but here's what it had to say... "Yes, you can double again even if the current cube value is sufficient to win the match, as long as you have cube ownership. This is known as a redouble, and if the opponent drops, they...

I wonder where you see this description... In options, when setting up a game, i see "Only exact bids score 10 + bid" In Rules summary, there is "Blackout gain 10 + [bid]" And that is indeed how the blackout works. If you bid x , an other player y , and you both succeed, you get ...

Some of those veterans - like me - are skipping out on the current Arena season because of that. Of course this...

I acknowledge it is a major framework change to suggest, but at the same it is a major deficiency and we can hope it gets implemented one day. As I see it, the solution is not to store all the game states. But rather to optimize the replay speed, so that the game can be instantly replayed out of sig...

It appears you haven't checked the FAQ : How to become a Game Guru? Your karma must be at least 90, and you must have been registered on Board Game Arena for at least one year. The players who played the most (ranked) games in the last 30 days will automatically become gurus. (limited to 100 players...

To add another view: 1) Hide moves history Not a bad option. Memory can be a part of the game and browsing through the log can remove that. I sometimes check the last move (if I miss it in real time) or the last few moves, as they are visible on screen. But I consider the log just enough cumbersome ...
