Board Game Arena

You should be allowed 1 per game round indeed. Given the age of this game and how often people make use of this I would be very surprised if it was a bug in the implementation. That said the UI is clunky and it's not always apparent how things work and when you can do things. (You are for example no...

I do agree none of the changes were *needed* because no tile #15 wasn't game breaking but it was good enough that most people still prioritizes it ahead of most other yellow tiles and for good reason. I find it very hard to argue the advantage of picking first was significantly altered by this chang...

not even BGA could stop themselves from going the EA and Ubisoft route, imagine gatekeeping content pieces behind paywalls and making the game generally worse for everyone, I'll just wait another 10 years for the digital version or go back to TTS, this wasn't it As the developer has communicated be...

Interestingly it's actually only a single action missing to be able to fill the base game board. 36 tiles to fill needs 72 actions (take tile and place tile) * You get 50 normally * 3 from castles * 12 from brown buildings * if you can manage to get all 3 mines down the first round they give you 12 ...

As was mentioned in a previous post the simplest option today is to play with 1st edition instead (and is why arena is almost always played like that). For those that prefer the newer tile-themes you can change that separately from the rules edition for yourself. Main downside to 1st edition is that...

It's provably impossible in the first edition simply due to actions required. All board spaces require 2 actions to fill, 1 to pick it up and 1 to place. The castles (dark green tiles) and many buildings give you 1 action back for free but that's still not enough. In the second edition yellow tile #...

Base game with yellow tile #6 from the 2019 edition is enough to fill the board. I've seen it happen in some lopsided games. (Basically relies on yellow tile #14 and boardinghouse giving you workers to buy twice for only one die)

First edition is more or less preferred solely because of the changes to yellow tile #6 which is broken enough in 2019 edition that if you get it early enough you're more or less guaranteed a win in the higher ranks. It also simply removes a large part of the complex decision making about the die ro...

Todays box is shown as opened but it doesn't seem to be working. I can't click on it.

It's not always the easiest but you can often get the hover in the log if you long-press. I can see why some would think remembering this is part of the skill of the game but given the balance how relatively easy it is to view in the log anyway and how hard it is to catch when playing turn-based I a...
