Board Game Arena

I don't think it's account age either, otherwise I should have moved on here in this Kingdom Builder tournament - https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=509692364

Nor is it less ELO or least thinking time

I've noticed around 12:30 AM EST / 5:30 AM UTC that games have trouble starting/loading, chat messages are slow, etc. for around 15 minutes. Is this a daily maintenance period or something along those lines? (this is not a complaint!)

For reference, things that that the app has wrong (but are correct here)

It's also very strong with the Paddock building, usually strong with the Knights scoring rule, and can be helpful with the Discoverers scoring rule

Skill certainly matters more, but turn order definitely is important, and matters more in 4P than 2P. Going later is better for lords, but that's the only benefit to going later, also much more pronounced in a 2P game (and if there's also farmers, the second player is going to win 95% of the time). ...

I also agree with Link that it should warn you. Perhaps something less intrusive, like highlighting the die that would cause the wreck? In the physical game, actually laying the dice out makes the line crossing more apparent.
