Board Game Arena

I hate to break it to you, but BGA arena is casual play too. There are obvious and actual hierarchies here like: - people who play Wingspan tabletop every now and then - people who play Wingspan tabletop regularly - people who participate on Wingspan BGG - people who play Wingspan on BGA - people w...

Which is a poll of casuals for casuals, not ranked competitive play.

Guru status is not based on just arena play. It is based on total number of games in any competitive setting. Which means ELO based. Seeing as 3 player games take longer, the only way it can be captured is if 3-player people play more games and invest more time. I personally only play Arena, and th...

UGH, another 4+ months of this? I guess it's indefinitely true if the guru base has been sufficiently "captured" by 3P fans. It seems that all it takes for any BGA Arena game is for fans of a less-popular configuration to get control one (1) time, after which they can hold it forever. How...

Family plans pls thx. I have a household of 4 and would happily upgrade all of them to show support for a reasonable bundle price (which could be IP-limited to ensure we're coming from the same location). A la carte would be too much given the diminished utility.

Tricky one IMO. I like to play fast with fast opponents. Most turns zoom by, but 1-2/game might brush up against the limit. I feel like the two best solves (not mutually exclusive) would be: 1) deliver all resolved resources simultaneously. Especially with chained actions, collecting each-little-bit...

The current Arena settings are Normal setup and HIDDEN scoring. I think LIVE scoring would make more sense for competition.

A few things that might hopefully be useful to others: - I did locate the "rules" in the Terms of Service, subsection Terms of Use - I also located the FAQ just above in the forum header - Both indicate to me that this behavior is against the spirit of the site - Given the response I recei...

I'm pretty sure RobertBr meant "abusive" as in insulting or threatening in the chat, not as in using the option when it's not "fair". That's possible. I see no apparently necessary "about it" qualification in that case, though, as insults and threats are issues unto th...
