Board Game Arena

Thanks for the suggestions. I forgot about the real time bell. The two groups seem inactive, but I'm thinking of joining and posting to see if anyone wakes up. If not, maybe it is time for a fresh group like that? Number #5 did work, but I've had times in the past when games timed out after 5 days (...

I am looking expand my portfolio of games, and have found a few that are interesting to me. However, I noticed that they don't seem to have many games played or players participating. When you find a situation like this, how do you find players to get a game going? I've had a few ideas, but wondered...

I can't pull the individual game stats, but broadly speaking, 5 doubles in a roll is a .013% chance. My average number of rolls per game is 45.4; call it 45. The odds of 5 doubles somewhere in 45 rolls is roughly 1 in 227. I've played 4262 games, which means I have probably seen 5 doubles in a row 1...

Most responses seem to be from the point of view of real-time play. I don't use real-time play; I play turn-based. The extra time involved can be days and weeks (for a slow opponent). It just isn't practical. Single game matches were considered competitive for years, and they were serious matches. I...

Bringing this back up to the top again. A turn-based game can take days to a week or more. Even if you're winning at a high rate (60%), you're still looking at quite a few games to clear even one rank, let alone work your way up to elite. (My average for the last 5 seasons is 41.8 games. I didn't ch...

I figured it out. The thread you shared mentioned Apocalypse at the Zoo of Carson City, which went back to Alpha due to using some outdated code.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. I know I've played Dominion online, but I'm not sure if it was here. Looking at insert on BGG, it didn't look familiar.

Does anyone know if there is a list of "retired" games?

I was just looking on the main page at the number of titles I've played (108). I clicked on the link which took me to the game titles search page, but that page only shows 107 games. Does anyone have ideas as to what might be causing the difference? Has BGA lost games over the years, or is there a b...

Since I'm not a guru and don't know how many games it takes to get there, I'm popping in to say I think the doubling cube, while fun, is making games too long. If you want a long game, there are places to do it, but arena just doesn't seem like the right one. Admittedly, I play almost exclusively tu...

True, but I was hoping there might be a way to fix the problem that I hadn't seen.
