Board Game Arena

To all RI Arena players, I want to open up a discussion on the current RI arena format. Over the past few arena seasons, it seems like RI is getting more and more players (which is great). But it’s the type of game where it’s not difficult to become decent in a short amount of time. This is leading ...
