Board Game Arena

Totally understandable. People do keep their hands hidden IRL but will usually show you if asked (and they haven't played already of course). I actually made little reference cards I keep with each character so that people can see all the opponent's abilities without needing to see hands. The only s...

Just to be clear because I think I phrased my reply poorly. Seeing the cards in the opponent's hand/discard/banish is intentional and totally fine. Seeing the "face-down" card the opponent has in play before you choose your play would be a bug. Whatever card they played should show as in t...

Definitely shouldn't be doing that, report it as a bug if you have examples of it happening.

I did two Arena matches today: Match 1: set my settings as b01 single character on the Play screen then queued Arena. Arena match was b...

I'm also a fan of legacy random character as the best arena ladder format. Gives variety, rewards flexibility, and having 3 characters reduces some of the RNG. Sure, you'll get unlucky sometimes with characters that don't have any good passes to each other but none of the characters in the Massiveve...
