Board Game Arena

I still have the winner being declared, but no sounds for winning/losing. And after thinking about it, I actually find the experience much less stressful without those sounds, so I appreciate that particular change.

I have just been informed I have been moderated and followed the instructions to challenge it as I suspect there might have been some sort of error in the process, so that is NOT what I'm doing here. I am NOT an angry player, but a very confused one. I have previously been moderated a couple of time...

I guess my profile was updated not long after one of these bad experiences. :-) Maybe it's phrased too strongly. Removed, at least until I find a better way of expressing it. Using CSS to hide all flags would be a perfect solution for you. It avoids drama and lets everyone enjoy the game. I just can...

I'm puzzled as to why it's perceived as complaining. Rest assured, that if Malta becomes a totalitarian dictatorship with little or no room for difference of opinion, it would certainly change my feelings about the flag I use considerably.

Thanks for the replies. It is a little cumbersome, but now the list is down to just over a handful of people.

I have given a lot of both types of thumbs since I started playing Splendor, but to my surprise, I have not been able to locate them anywhere on my profile. I'd like to do what I do in Dominion, where I blacklist players for various reasons, including failing to play after starting a game. The ones ...

In my opinion, it goes totally against the spirit of the game. As a player, you're working on developing your society, including feeding your people. A strategy that completely bypasses this need takes something away from the game and reduces the fun significantly. Yes, it's an effective way to crus...
