No elo loss when playing beginners

After yet another game, in which a supposed 'beginner' bested me, causing them to gain nearly 100 elo, and me to lose 25, I will not for the first time, make this argument. Probably to again be met by a chorus of jeers from complacent players (or not very competitive ones). Because it is often unkno...

Re: Scythe: Forge Your Legacy

I read some really unhappy comments in the beta threads not too long ago. Can anyone confirm this is actually ready for prime time? I was one of those people, but I can say the developers did listen and took action on problems, and after a somewhat buggy start, the new interface is now much improve...

Re: Scoring options?

It may be a small point/nitpick but the Live Scoring does not seem to include the Concordia card, whose destination would be known as soon as someone finishes the game (or at least inputs a move which would finish the game if not redone). Consequently if you are using the Live scoring to calculate w...

More clear marking of how to accelerate/complete building

Currently the progress of a Building is shown in the Right Panel in very small and inconspicuous script. When trying to decide how to contribute extra cards to Accelerate the building, I completely ignored it, as it was hard to notice. This meant, that despite the clear prompt Accelerate building, I...

Re: Using medkits and pills in hiring

I had a similar problem with using a lone Medic to hire. I reported it in Bugs, if anyone wants to vote for it.

If a 'script blocker' seemed to be the cause as suggested above, it would be nice to know how to fix it, and in which browser!

Re: Any other game recommendation?

Lewis & Clark needs quite a few games to begin to 'get', and there is still a learning curve afterwards, but that is the beauty of the game. Although luck always features, being able to respond to the cards available to you, and make the best use of them, is always satisfying when it comes off. ...

Cluttered Hand Rules on BGA not consistent with the original ones?

I recently had quite a bad experience with the game where I was almost trapped in a No Cooldown Zone with a lot of Heat. It was of course my fault for not reading the course, and making some bad decisions, but this isn't the principle thing I want to talk about. In trying to escape the situation, I ...

Re: Game is Completely Broken and Unplayable - Read the Bug Reports

i am delighted to learn that at least one of the most important bugs in Anachrony seems to have been fixed. Thanks very much for listening! This is a great game, and deserved to have a decent implementation and bug maintenance.

Perhaps the time has come to say the unsayable about expulsion

Actually it has no doubt been said before, and even in the post before this. Sometimes people are abusing the expel button in circumstances in which a fair-minded and reasonable person would allow the game to continue normally. Such circumstances would be for example when the game is almost over, or...

Alternative Garage Drafting System

I'm aware there is a topic for garage drafting already, but since I'm advocating a completely different system, I suggest its implemented as an alternative, in order to retain the original designer's system, and not upset them. Despite Heat being a fantastic game in most respects, I believe this is ...
