Choice of variant in Arena

Two seasons running now with 2-player variant. Despite the note about "no changes because people seem happy", I have to say I am far from happy about this. The 2-player game is so different that I would even suggest it should have its own ELO scores! I for one will not play PR in the arena...

When can I operae the Guest House?

I've been trying out the Guest House in Expansion 1 but don't understand how it's implemented here. The rules say ccolonists can be moved out at any time, but sometimes the game here doesn't allow that. For instance, in #325065539 (don't know how to find the move number!) I have just bought a small ...

Initial map setup illegal

I have now played numereous games on BGA; in general I like it. However, the initial map is almost always illegal according to the rules. Almost always, there are three identical tiles adjacent to each other. I don't know whether there are any similar errors over 6s and 8s adjacent to each other; if...

WE NEED RULES!

This afternoon a player (not me - I never get hands that good!) bid "Clubs hand ouvert", which he made easily (around 110 card points). Except that he was adjudged by the software to have failed and collected a hefty negative score. The third player wrote that he believed that an ouvert bi...

Re: Tie-breaker please

Thanks Een. I understand and accept your reason, but I have to say it will be very demotivating - after a while I'm likely to feel there's little incentive to keep playing. Especially in a game with a big random factor (like this one) the more chance to measure relative skill levels, the better

Tie-breaker please

Thanks for this enjoyable(if confusing!) game, but one reeservation. It's very unusual for games here simply to register one winner and everybody else as losers (particularly in games which might have 4/5 losers). The effect of this is to skew the Elo ratings and also to limit the enjoyment of the g...

Concessions by defenders

Skat on BGA is in general excellent (although I write as someone who has never played anywhere else!) But there frequent cases of players expressing frustration at the lack of a facility for defenders to concede a hand which is clearly lost (usually in a Null, especially Null Ouvert, context.) The W...
