Re: Any Hope For Expansions?

As far as I'm aware, there is no current BGA developer for Roll for the Galaxy and there hasn't been for many years. There are still many bugs for Roll that should be fixed before adding any expansions. The bugs are more annoyances than anything, but they really should be fixed. Some of these bugs c...

Re: Training mode after reaching expert or master rank?

I am one of the small minority of players who exclusively plays unranked (aka Training mode) games of Race. I've had my fun with ELO and Arena and have now retired from playing those modes. I personally find playing unranked games more relaxing and enjoyable these days, and perhaps others who only p...

Re: Why are New worlds disabled for current arena?

I expect part of the reasoning is that there is a desire to try and do something different with every Arena season. For various reasons some people prefer particular expansions and settings (for me it's Brink of War with New Worlds and Takeovers on), and some people prefer the vanilla base game. As ...

Re: Good Ol' GalFed

I've said it before in other threads, but I personally prefer playing with all the contentious cards in their current state, including Galactic Federation, Improved Logistics, Pan-Galactic Research, Pan-Galactic Affluence, Uplift Gene Breeders, and all the others. The game for me is not complete wit...

Re: Vote for season 5 expansion!

Galehar, are you able to post how popular each expansion was in Feb 2021? If you're able to share this, that would be interesting to know. I see you posted a number for Alien Artifacts, so wondering what the other numbers were.

Re: Please let me do consume in any order I want or undo the whole phase

Just brainstorming ideas on the timing issue. The need for it is very low in my opinion and perhaps not worth the effort. For simplicity and to avoid confusion, perhaps it's best to just keep things as they are for now.

Re: Please let me do consume in any order I want or undo the whole phase

Ok, I guess we'll all just have to continue to be careful with the consumes then. I'm fine by that. I would agree that the turn order timing issue is low priority. It is very situational. Eventually it would be nice to either have a button to allow someone to force a particular phase or round to hap...

Re: Please let me do consume in any order I want or undo the whole phase

Actually, looking at the rules: "Each consume power can be used only once in a consume phase. Some powers allow multiple goods, “up to” some number, to be discarded, with each good producing an effect. Such powers must be fully used, if possible, when invoked." So, it looks like implementa...

Re: Please let me do consume in any order I want or undo the whole phase

I agree, it would be nice to consume in any order and not be forced to complete the consume ability of a card before being able to consume from another card. I'm not sure how hard this is to implement though. Having an undo for the whole consume phase is probably not possible though as some consume ...

Re: Anyone else annoyed by Improved Logistics?

I personally prefer playing with the whole deck, including all the contentious cards such as Improved Logistics. For me, they are all just a part of the game, and add some spice to it. As I'm sure some of you are aware, the 2nd edition of the base game included adjustments for card costs and powers ...
