I'm sure premium players get preferential treatment with the dice; in the last few dozen games, almost only the premium players' numbers come up. i had a game (Twilight Imperium 4ed) where my Warsun missed 7 times of 9. While probability of one hit (1 of 1) is 80%, probability of such event is abou...

As far as I can tell, you can only set your flag (which may or may not correlate with the timezone you're in; plenty of people show a flag for a country they don't live in.) I'd expect your timezone is as determined by the device you are using. If a game has particular hours of play (i.e. when the c...

Sorry, I'm being a bit dim here. I've read the explanation a couple of times, but still don't really understand quite what this "dice deck" is meant to achieve, and therefor don't understand what it's for. Can someone explain in simple terms? It's supposed to ensure that the distribution ...

Still an issue, I have a board that we tried to start a couple of hours back but none of us could join - still stuck on opening box after refresh attempts at various times over the last couple of hours, and same behaviour in a separate browser (not logged in). I also noticed a 522 error in the conso...

Occasionally if your device misses a message from the BGA server, it might look to you that it's someone else's turn while others and the server have seen their turn and it's now your turn. If someone seems to be taking longer than usual, I refresh the page first just in case it's actually my turn.

Being obtuse on purpose is not a very good look. No one has to share it. When a player has the worst spots but the Algo keeps feeding them 3s and 11s it is very obvious the Algo has picked already. EVERYONE knows the algo is trash. Spies come out at the same time. Inventors do to. The Developers ar...

You don't have to click on the worker before placing it. If you click on the action that you're wanting to perform, it will automatically put an available worker there (choosing other than the grande worker if possible - clicking on the grande before the action is required if you want to play it ear...

really? It didn't work for me. Maybe i didn't try hard enough or something- It's not about trying harder, it's about waiting until a premium member starts a game in whatever you're hoping to play, and joining that. Anyone can play premium games, they only require a single premium player to start th...

Dice roll rigged. system chooses the winner on the first few rolls. you will notice that there is a certain player who gets the dice to always roll his resources, even if its a 2 or 11. we even lose to a player who only have 3s and 11s because it rolls the 3s and 11s three times more than the 8s an...

"Some people" meaning me? I have been playing long enough to now be able to predict what dice will come a lot of the times and for the other I have been making notes of number of doubles each player gets and it is definetly not random. The comment wasn't specifically aimed at you, because...
