Board Game Arena

The issue is that there are players who know they are going to lose and kick players out that are seconds away from winning to avoid the loss. The issue is that there are players who take more time than allowed and still think they're winning. This is the answer right there. If you can't win in the...

I find it quite ugly when - especially winners - vomit a "gg" into the chat. Actually, I also find it ugly when loosers do it. It's a robotic ugliness and I don't think it is a real and honest appreciation. Just vomit. It would be easy to choose one of the prepared statements (with real w...

The fight over the best spaces is why I like 4 player the best. Spot on. The limited space is what makes Catan shine. It makes it necessary to trade and co-operate and it's what makes it possible to threaten and block. Playing 3 players on the standard board is basically just pick the best numbers ...

I have had enough of the poor sportsmanship on this site! In the last month I've been kicked out of probably a dozen games that I was clearly leading often on a final move that would win the game. I understand that this is partly my fault. There have been some poor connections and I've had to refre...

First of all the moderation that goes around BGA is excessive. No warnings just straight to silencing or removal of reputation I said something very similar to this once - they muted my chat for 10 days and cut my karma down to 50/100. I won't comment further as I don't want the same "punishme...

Thank you everyone for the responses. I was under the impression that higher ELO players would still give more Arena points. Clearly that is just not the case. The fact that it is a separate scoring system and based entirely on Arena points makes perfect sense and clears that up for sure! Not that i...

I am super confused by the arena scoring for Catan. It just does not make sense. I played a game where I beat two players who both had higher ELO than me. (I was in the mid 100s, they were in the mid/high 200s) I expected my arena score to go up a decent amount. It went up ONE point for arena.Just o...

I SO wish there was a mechanic in this game to just click "never accept trades" and have all trades auto-declined. I find there are a lot of people who play and ask for trades constantly, like you said, multiple times per turn. Just stop already. "I didn't have wood when you asked las...

I have been in many games where I have first pick and get a spot like the one you note. I even had one not long ago, but was 8/8/6. 8s were wheat and ore, 6 was sheep. I lost that game. There were ZERO 8s rolled. Zero. And only a handful of 6's. Big numbers that game were 3's and 11's, rolled consta...

That's the game. In my eyes he did nothing wrong. If a player asks to play friendly and everyone agrees, then that player robs you anyways, that is just not okay. While "technically" it is not cheating, that is terrible sportsman ship and people like that should receive penalties. If you ...
