Boots are definitely something to play around ALL THE TIME. Experienced players know to set themselves up and finish the game around the summer season. Now, I wouldn't go as far as say that it is possible to play around 2x Boots or 1x + Amsug, though that is a rare occurrence and you probably have s...

One idea I have been tinkering with is to make Fallow Deer bonus into a punishment. Basically, if you paid with 2x the correct color, you draw 1 card. If you don't, you have to discard one card. Still doesn't fix the problem of plopping them for free with the other deer, but it is a decent way to ne...

Playing a lost game all the way until the last turn and then conceding just before it ends is bad sportsmanship. Just end your last turn and let the score count for stats. That is not the situation the OP is describing. "Playing a lost game" presupposes that the player has a bad game and ...

I’m assuming this is a language issue. Quitting a game always has a penalty. Conceding a game does not. If you are complaining about people conceding then that’s just silly. You think it's "silly" to not want your opponent to quit a game that will be over in 5 seconds? Of course it is sil...

Is the idea that you can steadily progress tech levels without having to worry about population cubes? I am definitely not experienced enough to grasp the advantage of the first player.

There is a very good case to be made that you rarely need to know the exact score. Maybe at ultra high-stake games, which the majority of on BGA are not. Plus, when you have the option to do it anyway, you are killing the intrigue in a ton of games where people may prefer to not know. I know this wi...

Some people like it. Arena settings were changed this season so the points are displayed. All information is public, so the score displayed can be manually calculated. We'll see how it goes. I'm personally not a fan of it myself, but I'm willing to see how it goes this season. Have you ever counted...

Seriously, why include this option? There is nothing more demotivating seeing one player run ahead on points. You could say "Well you could just count it anyway", but I don't think many people are doing it. If you are one of them, I am not even going to judge you, but it seems a bit over t...

I hate this stupid game. It's a tiresome, tedious chore. Playing with these trash bird and no expansions after playing so many games with expansion and Oceania and Nectar is just excruciating. I'm tired of trash hands and a useless bird feeder. OF a first round EOR goal that is "birds with ___...
