Board Game Arena

I agree with a previous posting that Arena formats are unlikely to change much if they are driven by the people who already play them a lot as they like that format; the people who have little interest in the current format would not play and so would not gain the chance to vote and change them. To ...

I don't think it is thinking time (not in the game Carcassonne, anyway): I tied against a lower Elo player and had significantly longer thinking time (displayed in the game summary) in a turn-based game, but it was still me that went through (this was in game #126870492 if you want to check).

While playing in a Rapid Carcassonne tournament, many players (including myself, unintentionally) exceeded their fixed time limit and so gained an unfair advantage. Would it be possible to add an option to have a fixed time allotted per player, where a player automatically loses the game if they exc...

Has there been any discussion in the forums about the upcoming Arena Season 3 game configurations? Can I suggest that there is 2-tier poll for Carcassonne.

When the server was fixed and the game resumed, my opponent must have immediately hit the 'skip other player's turn' but...

I like being able to pre-place my tile, and I find absolutely essential the ability to revert to the original artwork (the new is truly horrific). However, showing only the locations that a tile may be placed has had the side effect of massively reducing the contast around open cities: instead of be...

It seems a little unfair to get zero Arena league points for winning against an opponent 3 levels below you (3 points standard minus 3 levels difference = 0 points). Half of the ten games I've won at diamond level have counted for nothing, which is very frustrating, especially since the current conf...

It would be interesting to know how many competitors there have been for each game. I know there is a 'see more' button to successively see each further batch of 10 players on the leader board, but it gets *very* tedious to try to get to the end (I gave up after the top 9000 on Carcassonne!) .
