top 2:task 66: I will win as many tricks as captain(4/3/3) This task needs everyone to accurately control the tricks they take, especially when there are some other tasks about the number of tricks. And the task is full of uncertainty since the taker doesn't know how strong the captain's hand is, n...

top 1: task 17: I will not win the first 5 tricks(3/4/4) The difficulty is confusing: for 4/5 players, task 27:I will win 0 tricks is only 3 points of difficulty. Why is task 17 even harder than task 27? This just doesn't make sense. I'm guessing because this task can end up combined with other tas...

I just assume the win rate does not reflect your total games. But your most recent x number of games. While the number of games do show your total history.

Otherwise the win rate might not accurately reflect your current skill level.

Why are you saying people are just using red thumbs and not actually reporting the issue to BGA for them to take actual action? Someone else said that "All you can do is RT". I don't know what reports people have sent. But I do know that a few seasons ago. The same thing was going on. I s...

You can "collect" evidence in the form of suspicious game activity. And report the offending accounts. Bga moderators won't notice these things by themself. And actual Action obviously has a high bar for evidence before something can be done. If nobody bothers to put in the work. Nothing c...

I'm sure this must happen on occasion. I've not noticed this being an issue much in Arena at least.

But as suspicious as that seems. Don't forget that players simply making terribly risky nil bids, is much more common than players cheating.

And every so often those risks do happen to succeed.

Arena settings are decided each season by the game gurus. A random selection of the most active players for that game the past season.

If you play enough, you can get a chance to vote.

Hi, so from the rules: An important rule of The Gang is that you are not allowed to freely discuss the cards in your hand. You are not allowed to show, say, or hint which cards you have in your hand to the other players. Additionally, if you know something about another player’s hand only because y...

Hi, Where would you put the hands A4/A3/A2/JT initially at 6 players preflop, and where would you put the hands QJ/QT at 5 players preflop? Please answer, then read the second post, thanks :) Ace-low I would start by taking the highest (6) token. But would not fight for it if taken away. If 6 is al...

Because my intention seems to be a unclear for some people. Firstly you can still forfeit gammons and backgammons if you simply want to continue and end the game early. And, as soon as you've taken your first pawn off the board, and gammon is impossible. You can still forfeit a single point to end e...
