Board Game Arena

You lost, the opponent won. It is that simple. A lot of people have legitimate issues with the way timers work in multi-player games (which are quite hard to resolve) but in a 2 player game clocking your opponent is as legitimate a win as any other winning move. In this case it sounds like your opp...

I did a search to see if this has been discussed, but I can only find it relating to specific games. I don't like ties resulting in NO progress in arena. If you have spent time playing and tied, you should get something for it, even one point. The two games that irk me the most are Lucky Numbers, wh...

The thing about game design, though, is most games that say they are designed for 2-4 players are actually play-tested for 3-4 players. Yes, you can play them with 2, but you lose a ton of strategy. The only reason the 2 player metas are so dominant is because you can focus all your effort into disr...

Is there a way to make a third round in arena play if the two players are tied after two rounds? As it is set up now, the match was a waste of time since no points are given to arena rankings.

If this was a rare occurrence, I wouldn't mind. but I bet 1/3 of my matches end up in a tie after two games.

I once played soccer , but when the other team tried to score, I reported them for 'unsporting behavior.' Like, have some class! Last time I played chess , my opponent captured my bishop. I asked them if they came here to make friends or to ruin lives. I was in a game of Risk , and someone actually...

Most of the people I'm playing with seem to be playing just to block others. I get it, it's a game, and blocking is part of strategy and we all do it, but some folks it's like that is the ONLY strategy. It's such a shame because I think this is probably a fun game IRL but it's so cutthroat here it'...

Please note: This is NOT an argument about a specific moderation. I am NOT arguing or complaining about a moderation. I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but I was trying to appeal a moderation, but could not find the proper URL for the moderation in order to complete the appeal. The ...

Wow. You seem nice.

Have you even bothered looking at other recent messages in the forum? https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27448 https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35910 https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35639 https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27448 You know,...

Arena play of Carcassonne is pretty dull right now. Without the two main expansions - especially with only 2 players, everyone uses the same tactics with little variance. If you could add the two major expansions already incorporated into BGA, I would enjoy Arena mode much more. Carcassonne is also ...
