Five Players is Painful for Getting a Game Started

There, I said it. Dunno who these "gurus" are they've been talking to, but you're all wrong.

Re: olympia = auto loss

It's all just Hali B from here on out. Sorry I was so glib in my first response. The issue with Olympia is that it simply cannot win by just executing its own plan. It ALSO has to significantly disrupt its opponents plans. That requires a little luck for card order and intelligent neighbors. With th...

This is a dumb suggestion but have you refreshed the page before trying? What browser are you using?

Re: Strategy guides for more than 3 players?

Most competitive 7 Wonders players consider 3P the "purest" form of the game and concentrate on that. They tolerate 4P when Arena switches to it, and complain about 5p. If you're that good at 3P/4P and want to challenge yourself, you could become one of the best at 6P and write a guide you...

Re: Strategy guides for more than 3 players?

You have a good win percentage and ELO. If you want actual material, try WonderfulPlays on Youtube (he also has a profile here on BGA).

Re: For the 1000th time, we really need an ELO filter in Arena

I do not like facing 100 ELO opponents. It isn't unreasonable to be able to remove this. There's very little upside for a win and tons of downside for a loss. All risk and little reward compared to similarly ELO'd opponents. ELO won/lost is proportional your probability of winning. So, if you play ...

Re: The new Olympia feels weak

Not sure why this thread was revived, we've known Olympia is trash since it came out. That said I just won 4P by simply... not building my wonder stages. The way the hands were distributed, I couldn't build stage 1 in age 1, and it's pointless in age 2 when I kept getting better cards. Which is more...
