Re: Issues with passing

The ability to avoid a subsequent ​ ​ ​ designate dead stones ​ ​ ​ phase is specifically to stop players from ​ ​ ​ holding a game hostage ​ : If the opponent didn't have that ability, then a player could just keep designating stones in a way which would give that player the win. (You seem to now ...

Issues with passing

I have a game right now which I'm pretty sure I have won. When my opponent was set to designate dead stones, he didn't do so, which would give him the win. I'm sure it was a mistake, so I didn't accept the designation and told him that dead stones need to be marked. I made it clear when designating ...

Re: gain 1 additional cooldown for being in 2nd gear?

You also get 1 free cooldown for starting a turn in last position (or 2nd to last, also, in 5+ player games), which will give you 2 total cooldown if you start in last/2nd to last, and move in 2nd gear The game should have said something along the lines of "X can use adrenaline's effects for b...

gain 1 additional cooldown for being in 2nd gear?

I'm playing a game on the Japan track with upgrades and weather module. I noticed that I (and a few other players) got 2 cooldowns with a message "player gains 1 additional cooldown for being in 2nd gear." I can't figure out why this is. 2nd gear only provides one cooldown, and this is not...

Re: Queen's Special Orders Expansion Maps

I really enjoy North Proylia! There is a bug on this btw, https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=149456, devs aren't working on it any time soon unfortunately. That's the map I would especially like to play, but it seems like there are a lot of questions as to how the I,II, and III investigate cards wor...

Queen's Special Orders Expansion Maps

I would love to see the Queen's Special Orders Expansion included here at BGA. There are only two extra maps, but they really look interesting! I have the physical game and expansion at home, but haven't actually gotten to play the expansion maps yet.

Re: Someone got mad and thumbs downed me

I quickly noticed that nearly everyone here with enough games played has at least a few red thumbs. I figured it was likely that many of these were because of sore losers. It's ridiculous to think that grown adults (which I assume most players here are) still behave in such a childish manner. I've h...

Re: Game Automotically timed out before starting

I've been having a lot of "unable to connect to server" issues today too. I don't know if this is related to it.

Game Automotically timed out before starting

Anyone else have this happen? I joined a Race for Galaxy game and as soon as I was directed to the table, it was shown that I quit. Now I have a quit penalty and suffered a rating drop. I clearly did not quit. Actually, it said that I was out of time. It was table 22209834.

Re: Soon on Board Game Arena ...

So, any confirmation on this? I just noticed this and the Gathering Storm was released about a week later, so I wasn't sure if this was referring to that, or perhaps something else. Glad to have the Gathering Storm, but would love to see a more substantive expansion like Rebel v. Imperium or Alien A...
