Re: Rule clarifications

Thanks for the feedback everyone, clearly we didn't 'read the rules properly', though those two are buried pretty deep, live and learn... Re the advantage to first player, a counter argument is that the last player gets a bigger strategic advantage by being able to choose their locations together, s...

Rule clarifications

I've played Catan a fair bit offline so when first playing on BGA recently I was surprised that a couple of rules are interpreted differently from the way I'm used to. 1. Turn order. On pg 4 the rule outline a 'Turn Overview' which states that actions may be taken in the order outlined. I've always ...

Re: abuse time limit

I think we should create other incentives for people to play within the agreed times At the moment there is no penalty for letting your clock run out unless someone kicks you out. What about if your clock goes negative at anytime during the game you lose karma points? perhaps lose something like 2-5...

Re: Group vote to kick when time runs out

I agree there are problems with the kick out method of enforcing the clock, but I can see that there are problems with this proposed solution too. Can't we create other incentives for people to play within the agreed times? At the moment there is no penalty for letting your clock run out unless some...

Re: Allow host to rearrange player order before starting game

I agree, this would also enable more efficient ordering of players across timezones. Players in Australia, Asia etc can easily find themselves in games with players from Europe & the Americas. If the players are ordered opposite to their timezones and the rotation of the earth this can really sl...

Re: Ticket to Ride Europe

Yes, Ticket to Ride Europe please!
The high number of six carriage trains in the US version means that you can score better with these than by going for more routes, which I think takes the fun out of the game.

I agree with the need for separate arena's too, partly because of the above.

thanks!

Highlight each players last move

Thanks to those who've made this game available on BGA, I'm enjoying and it works well :-) Could you please add a feature to show the settlements each player added in the last game in a different shade of their colour? This would reduce the need to use the cumbersome replay feature, which can be par...
