Board Game Arena

A clearer indication that players are meant to see each other's boards is the mission card "Thrilling Victory" which says: "In the same line, form the same type of hand as another player and win that line." You can't do that if you can't see other player's boards. But incredibly,...

But the game clearly wants you to see each other's boards. Why else is there something like the Tunnel card, which allows you to keep one card face down so your opponents can't see it. That wouldn't make any sense if opponents can't see your board anyway. But the physical game clearly has player sc...

I think they meant *during* the game. ***. During the game, the player‘s boards are hidden, as the rulebook says during the Game Setup: Each player: - Takes a player screen and places it in front of them - Places a 5×5 Bingo Board behind the screen But the game clearly wants you to see each other's...

It's been that way for years. Even bugs can last for years with hundreds of users complaining and they simply ignore it all.

Note how you had to invent an extra condition to make it sound bad. We've gone from "expelling a player is always rude" to "the game is 95% complete". It's called an edge case. Just like you've been describing the opposite edge case. You still don't address the central issue, wh...

On top right, you can choose between "Automatic" and "Manual" lobby. Your screenshot looks like you are in the "Automatic" lobby, you should switch back to "Manual", probably that's what you are looking for. That's it, thanks! Never looked at that option befo...

My take on parsing the comments on this thread is that it will be impossible to please everyone so there is no perfect solution that make everyone happy but the current options are the best balance. Ergo maintain the status quo. I think it would be pretty easy to make changes that would feel like a...

Since a few day, the "Simple Game" lobby is identical to the "Arena" one for me. I.e. there are no tables waiting for players, and if I click on "Play now", it starts looking for an Arena opponent. Cfr the screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/6GTeba3 This is both in Firefox ...

In a >2 player game, do NOT boot them and ruin everyone's game, coz that makes you the impolite one, to put it very mildly. The time bank is 3 times longer than the turn time. If the table says "2 moves per day" and they haven't taken a turn for 2 days (or more often: taken 20+ hours to m...
