Re: Not being able to use a cultist for extra health points when at ten health

In this case, I think the game is correctly reflecting the rules.

New release 250811-0936

First new release in years, so it's great to see some love being put into the King of Tokyo implementation. Anybody got any idea what's new? What bugs have been fixed? I personally play with the "Power-Up! (Evolutions)" expansion, so the way that's implemented is my main concern. There's a...

New version released: 240814-1040

A new version of the BGA adaptation of this game was released a few days ago. Does anyone know what bugs have been fixed now?

I noticed because the "Feline Motor" evolution now works properly. It's been broken for literally years.

What else?

Re: Spectator chat: new rules

Are you going to roll back the awful "auto start" misfeature, too? Or are we expected to just suffer that?

Re: Auto-start + spectators chat + many little things (May 8th update)

The auto-start change has just annoyed me enough to force me to come and complain in this thread. I was starting a game for my friends. I invited the players, and then started having a discussion about which options we wanted... but BANG! auto start kicked us straight into the game before we'd even ...

Re: (NEW) Arena mode upgrade

Tried the new system once so far (Puerto Rico), and it instantly matched me with two fairly reasonable ELO opponents. That's a huge improvement: My previous experience was that I'd wait ages to be matched with hopeless opponents, or I'd set my opponent level restrictions tighter and NEVER play a gam...

Re: Show victory points?

It's a bit of a pointless rule, since you can easily count up your opponents' VPs anyway. Use a pencil and paper, if you need to.

Re: How to advance in this game?

Replay your own games, and try to understand why your opponents made the moves they did. Look for the spot where you made a mistake, and decide what you would do better next time in that situation. Replay the games of other players who are better than you, and try to understand their thinking. I ima...

Re: Puerto Rico needs a redesign

What kind of screen are you playing on? Making the player's board larger, and the buildings bigger will likely force your opponents' tableaux off the screen. It's just as important to see what they are up to as it is to see your own stuff. I play on a wide(ish) screen laptop, and I can see everythin...

Re: BACK AGAIN: Arena mode (Season 0 - BETA)

Opponent matching is so poor that it's discouraging me from playing Arena Mode. In Puerto Rico, inexperienced players tend to make naive moves that can disproportionately favour the player who goes immediately after them. That gives the seat order a huge influence on the outcome - which doesn't make...
