Board Game Arena

I've not heard of this voting system; is it available to all frequent players or just those who play a lot of arena? I don't really want to play this arena season because I find this game lacks strategic depth with just two players (just my opinion )

so i have the special factories disables in my settings, but keep getting this from time to time. why does this happen? I am the one starting the game... Make sure that you have this setting preference set to "fixed" instead of "flexible". The double arrow button next to the set...
