Board Game Arena

Because of the luck element no one wants to play people with ELO far below their own so they are going to set a minimum of 1600 usually. Everyone wants to play someone of a higher ELO but someone is going to have to relent and play someone at a lower ELO. Tournaments are usually how you get a chance...

I find the pop-up annoying too. An option to turn in off in your profile settings would be nice.

Yellow is definitely the weakest color and should be excluded from all but a 6 player game. I tidied up the how to play section on the wiki, correcting/clarifying some rules, improving grammar, fixing typos. Does a moderator have to approve it before it shows up on the game page?
