Board Game Arena

I don’t think it is an option you can choose. It is for everyone. That’s the point. I went to spectate a game of Flowers and I was able to deactivate it in the parameters. I hated it, it looked very wrong to me at first sight, but if my opponent wants to have it, that's their problem, I don't see w...

I always found it weird that you can only lose 20 points at most with regular Elo. It feels very little, like it's trying to "protect" people's Elo. The way it is in Arena feels more competitive, like you are always having to defend your position. Big swings for losing, but also potentiall...

Interesting because recently there was a discussion in a thread about how realistic it is that someone would do something like that. Looks like those people exist, though in this case I'm not sure what their goal is. Kinda hard to ask for a harsh sanction against them when you can't even figure out ...

Oh, thanks, I never noticed that part of the site.

I don't think I've ever seen a table that had a custom description.

What is "table description" and how do you enter text in it?

Yeah, the way the results were displayed was much better before. Now I don't even look at it for very long. It's essentially stopped being a thing that I'll enjoy and admire, like the trophies page and things like that, because it's just not visually appealing. The whole tournament interface has a v...

Yeah, that's also why I waited, see if they would do something about it. But it's been months at this point. Sometimes it feels like the people who work for the site don't actually play games on here themselves. Like, when they made the overhaul to the interface of tournaments, anyone who plays tour...

Sure you can turn your own off and then it is like bowling a tournament game against someone who has the kiddie bumpers on and can't roll a gutter ball. This is actually a good comparison, because having the bumpers on is no guarantee that the player is actually going to hit the pins. If they need ...

It seems like poor game design to me if the highlights being different for the two players is something that can break the game. Like, in Harmonies there's also an option to turn on and off the highlights that show where you can place the animals, which is a good thing that you can choose to deactiv...

Which brings us back to the discussion in the recently upped post about bug reports... When people ask for obvious bugs to get fixed, like someone being literally unable to play games on their account, people are like "but that's volunteer work, they have no time for that". Meanwhile, they...
