Board Game Arena

Without special abilities, the game will be interesting at first, but then quickly become boring, as all the games become similar. As for the lack of balance, only Tuco clearly stands out, although he's not hopeless. Different characters are the strongest for different numbers of players. The differ...

Unfortunately, Colt Express has few players, so I doubt there will be enough players willing to play with specific expansions. Many play the basic version (discarding cards at the end of each round). I consider this version primitive, uninteresting, and it reduces the number of players who would sup...

What exactly is it that you are asking? We have established that a player who stalls at the end of arena season will lose AES points, but not Karma or Elo. Is there anything further to discuss? If so, I will try my best to answer any questions. As long as they are phrased politely. Thank you for yo...

What evidence have you presented that they did not do exactly what they said, which is consider the slowest player the loser for that game and calculate their lost AES based on losing to all other players in the game, and neutralizing AES changes for all other players? You haven't posted anything l...

You've got something mixed up. You're convinced I've already proven that fines don't exist, and now you're asking me for proof. Meanwhile, I've written something like, "I doubt there are fines, but if anyone knows they apply, please let me know" five times. Don't attribute things to me th...

the BGA claims it imposes fines for this kind of thing. I'm simply advocating for compliance with the rules. What evidence have you presented that they did not do exactly what they said, which is consider the slowest player the loser for that game and calculate their lost AES based on losing to all...

As already discussed, the handling of games near the end of an Arena season is a special case. But in general, there are no penalties, nor there should be, for just making a game longer than you expected, within the allotted time. You're writing about how fair the fines are in such cases. So, that'...

Thank you, I learned something from our conversation. At the same time, I still maintain that a player who, for whatever reason, spent a significant amount of time in a turn-based Arena game that didn't finish before the end of the season is unlikely to be penalized in any way, despite the BGA rules...

After reading the comments, I noticed that people were focusing on the impossibility of determining whether a player was intentionally wasting time or under extraordinary circumstances that prevented them from taking a turn. My opinion is that such situations actually occur in about 1%. But that's n...
