Board Game Arena

Please edit the original post. There shouldn't be an "s" on compete in the first paragraph.

When I counter a hoarding attempt it counts as my turn, does that make sense?
It seems to be that is more of a reaction to the hoarding attempt and shouldn't count as a turn.

Thoughts?

I've played a couple games and it seems at some point it just arbitrarily stops giving us new cards when we play one and then the game ends when our hands run out of cards. This results in a short game which didn't give us enough time to score points. There were still lots of scoring and cat cards a...

I've posted two new videos in the last week. One is a Pacifica BGA replay and the other is a Terra Nova BGA replay. I'm really enjoying playing Terra Nova. The games are always very different based on the scoring round bonuses. Who knows, maybe one day I'll make the jump to Terra Mystica. Come check...

Thanks for the history lesson. Very interesting. Unfortunately, I'm just a guy who likes to play games and wants to talk about it... I hope you'll take a look at my videos, provide feedback and subscribe :) Paul I'll have to look into it. All these obscure references makes me feel like I need to res...

I'll have to look into it. All these obscure references makes me feel like I need to research some of these personalities... Never a dull moment. Paul Richard Feynman was a unicorn. I don’t expect anybody, ever, to be the Richard Feynman of board games. No indeed, BUT in this scenario, I don't think...

I agree that Flip 7 has a significant component of luck, but with that said there is still a decent amount of strategy. For example, considering who to freeze or a take 3 is highly strategic. You want to generally give it to the person with highest score (other than yourself, obv) but what if a lowe...

Thanks for your post. I found it very interesting. I don't think I'm gong to be the phd of games per se but I do think I can be combination of the person who makes games interesting/approachable and Ira Flatow. Let's see where this channel goes... Paul The analogy that keeps coming to mind is scienc...

What do you mean by "good at games" profile? Are you looking for someone who has a very high ELO or highly seeded in the arena mode? I'm not claiming to be a pro gamers, just a guy who likes to play games. Of course I always play to win, but I don't focus on any one particular game enough ...

Thanks for the reply. My initial thought for this channel is to provide commentated gameplay with analysis that discusses the "why did they do that?" question. Perhaps I can focus a bit more on the introductory how-to part of the game for video per game, so if someone wants that they can g...
