Board Game Arena

100 rating is nothing, you don't even have to know the rules, you could just join games and sit until your opponents quit or kick you and you'd get to 100 eventually, that's how low a standard 100 rating is when you can't even lose rating until you're above it. A player could make 100 alts at 100 r...

You can grind in Arena, but other players can grind outside of Arena. That's the difference between what happens now and what you were suggesting. As the best format for the majority of games, 2 player is the clear choice, though the unusual games where this isn't the case aren't finding themselves...

The whole guru system just overly complicates things. Just make it "anyone who has played at least X arena games during the current season can vote on the settings for next season." 'X' can vary based on the length/popularity of the game. People who aren't playing arena don't need to vote...

There could be value in a page that lists games by how active they are in BGA, either by how many tables were started in the last week/month/timeframe or average number of active tables at a time. If I'm looking to learn and try a new game it would be useful to know which ones I'm more likely to be ...

This is the structure of your argument. 1. Two players are playing a game. One player went over the time allowed. 2. The opponent expelled them on the last turn. 3. Therefore, the opponent expelled them because they wanted to prevent a loss since they were in a losing position. I can help, here is ...

There is no English word for the peace felt when you're looking through a thread and on a page over half the posts are marked as hidden.

I am curious. If you were playing in real life with 2 friends and the same thing kept happening. What would you do ? Ask to forfeit.? Really. ? Quit ? If I'm playing in real life with 2 of my friends I am spending time with my friends; We are chatting and joking about things together between turns....

Blatantly false. I passed the round, which is clearly visible in the log. The game was quit by opponent after that. In Arnak, passing means you can not take any actions anymore for the round (it was the very end of the very last round of the game, and we made it all the way there despite me going i...
