Board Game Arena

Other players can not do what? Other players cannot somehow dilute the deck. Let me try to explain. Imagine there are 40 cards in a deck. This time, the bottom 10 cards happen to contain "the good cards", whatever those may be (maybe 4 copies of Vendor!). If 3 other players all redraw the...

3 things IMO: 1. The implementation of ELO is quite swingy on BGA, which contributes to this 2. Over the large number of games some swings are expected or almost guaranteed and the human mind mostly remembers the swings 3. When being on a downstreak you tilt playing worse making it even worse, when ...

I can understand that Gurus want to select different things for Arena each season and try something. I can respect that. But I think it's already safe to say that 4P is a failed experiment.

I could see 6P (there is a red triangle problem, but to be honest, which player count doesn't have it?), but 7P is a big no, no: 1. Games are quite boring, because everytime all the wonders are present. The strategic aspect is greatly reduced. 2. There is not enough brown resources, a lot of wonders...
