Balancing the game can't stop (2 players > Arena) // Making it backgammon strategic

Currently, the starting player has an advantage. One way to try to overcome it would be to have each player taking two turns in a raw, except for the first turn of the first player. The game would be more balanced, not longer, a bit more strategic, since chances of switching the odds of winning, as ...

Re: Arena and matchmaking ELO huge gap.

When in Arena lobby, by clicking on the cogwheel next to the Tzolkin Icon, you go to the settings -> Extended Settings -> Opponent Level.

Remettre le son pour annoncer qu'une partie est prête à démarrer

Je crois comprendre la logique d'avoir déactivé le son pour les joueurs non premium. Mais c'est une erreur (à mon avis) d'avoir enlevé le son pour annoncer: - que la tables est pleine (il y a assez de joueurs pour lancer la partie) - que la table est lancée (et alors il est important que tous les jo...
