Re: Twilight Imperium

We really need a system in place to remove alpha testers who are just joining games and not making any moves. Here is an example of a player who currently has 14 games going, and hasn't made moves in half of them. He plays a few until something triggers him to stop playing, and it completely ruins t...

Beware of Twins this arena season

Be aware of taking the Twins card this arena season, as the bug is still present that softlocks games. Unfortunately certain players are exploiting this bug to force you into quitting a game. I had it happen against me during this game here where a player refused to collectively abandon a game they ...

Re: The BGA Awards 2025: Meet the 6 Winners Across All Categories + 2 releases!

Giving the weird prerequisites to vote, I was unable to vote at all. Most people I know were not able to vote either.

Played over 1000 games during 2024, and I can't vote on any of these lol. Guess I won't vote.

Re: Is trading in a pantry item for one from the truck giving anyone else problems

If a premium market runs out of cards in the draw pile, the truck pile for that group is reshuffled into the draw pile.

Re: Turn-based game speed improvement idea

Because water allows you to look and buy from other markets, unfortunately this wouldn't be feasible.

Re: Helmet of Invisibility?

I have 6000+ games of Dice Forge. It's just a bad feat, and even if it was only 4 moons would still cost too much. Think about it this way: if you are forging the proper way (or balancing moons, suns, and VP) , you don't need a x3 side. If you aren't forging, then getting a x3 won't do much reliably...

Re: SPLENDOR DUEL: When it's time to share a game for two...

Stealing mechanic completely ruins this game. Literally turns into who can get those cards before their opponent, aka whoever goes first. I think one of the big issues with the original Splendor is first player bias, but this takes it up to 50. IMO, at the very least, rules need to be changed that y...

The Twins Card needs to be removed from Arena Until the Bug is Fixed

See title. One of the biggest bugs on Dice Forge is the "Choose Resource" bug (see here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=35664) which generates from the Twins card (spend 3 gold to reroll, then take moon/vp). In real time games, this can be avoided by simply abandoning, but in turn based...

Re: Why is Arena Mode 4 players?

I won my last 2 games from 4th position, and I didn’t feel at a disadvantage at all. In exchange for not getting the first shot at all the location tiles you want, you always know when it will be your last turn, and with Lords, you can get the last word on majorities, which can be huge. Perhaps you...
