Re: Tobago end game is broken

The idea of the game is great but such random kill the game. If the result is finally determined by luck you can just throw a couple of dices instead the game. Good games usually shouldn't have such situations. It's just disrespect to the players. Where is fun if after 40 minutes of play the winner ...

Tobago end game is broken

The thing disappointing me in Tobago is the random in the end of the game. If the winner is decided by a coinflip the whole previous game become pointless. I mean the situation when you take several last cards (e.g. 4) and win if the curse in second half and lose if it's in the first half. It could ...

Re: Concede tournament games when score doesn't matter.

I don't know. I agree but it is always like this at least at quoridor. Maybe a bug or an error. Maybe someone should report that? It's obviously an error since conceding means you lose. I don't personally care about the tournaments as I don't do them, but there's no logic in not allowing conceding ...

Re: IS IT EVER OK TO TELL OTHER PLAYERS HOW TOP PLAY?

There is no point to complain about one player helps another in chat. A newbie may ask a Master to help him via skype or sitting with him IRL and you even won't know about it. There are no rules forbidding a player to use help during the game. It's better for you when you know it.

Re: Unethical play in Love Letter

People will do such things untill rewards system doesn't change. If you can get a few extra points for 2nd place why you shouldn't do it?

Re: Concede tournament games when score doesn't matter.

I would prefer to have a possibility to concede even if score does matter. Just give my opponent the maximume score difference or some standard maximum score difference. I suppose no one should use score difference as a tie breaker in tournaments with players of different skill levels. Because 1 poi...

Re: Race for the Galaxy : Alien Artifacts expansion

I think with this expansion it isn't Race for the Galaxy anymore.
It would be better if Rio Grande Games make new games not expansions.

Re: IS IT EVER OK TO TELL OTHER PLAYERS HOW TOP PLAY?

In my opinion players can tell each other anything except insults and hidding information. If someone gives another player an advice that isn't good for you just tell that player that advice giver wins more from this move than he. If you didn't make an agreement to play without chat you can't expect...

Re: Payment for start games

I see a point in the views of topic starter. If someone wants only Carcassonne from BGA's premium games why should he pay for other games? Also I agree that membership should cost different for different countries. While people in Canada earn more than $20 per hour on average, there are countries wh...
