Re: Is conceding considered poor form?

If you play a lot of Ark Nova games then you can see when you're about to lose or to win. I don't care about stats in usual non arena games because I can't make it past elo 300 steadily, only sporadically. Sometimes I might concede at the end when opponent tries to sqeeze 1 more point constantly red...

Anyone thinks Archeology is overpowered?

In my real physical games I remove ths card from the game. I saw someone whining about eagles to be overpowered. Well, there is at least 2 of them an...

About income and money for the last round.

How much is enough? I suspect you need around 45-60 to play good big points animals in the last round plus donation on your last association project. Am I wrong?

Btw great post, I've improved my game strategy thanks to this

Re: Win probability calculation incorrect

What is "win probability" ? I never saw it until today when I hover over the results of the game. I'm just curious to know what it means 53% for winning player?

Re: Why do people like 2 player games?

If your opponent is already winning - you can surrender in 2p game. I will never play 4p -- that's too long. This game is not designed for 4p IMO. 3p should be the sweet spot, but it could be too long as well.

Re: Expell Timer is a joke

IIUC, the only answer - play in slow turtle speed to avoid expelling on the very last move when you have giant combo. Does not matter if you played most of the game fast. The only last move will be fatal. UPD: map 4 is especially prone for this - almost every turn you can sell one card, so your move...
