Re: Does this warrant a public red thumb or am I too sensitive?

The more important piece of context is probably that advancement in the tournament is between the two of you, the one who finish ahead of the other takes the advancement spot. So it makes pretty good sense that they would target you, and not care much about the 3rd player. This post right here give...

Does this warrant a public red thumb or am I too sensitive?

I'm in a 3p tourney game, near the end. I'm in 2nd place, about 10 points ahead of 3rd, the leader is 40 points ahead. The leader had the opportunity to end the game by finishing the terraforming but chose not to, allowing it to proceed for another generation. Instead they have chosen to take multip...

Re: Brew of Feather Touch and 5th ingredient

Thank you. So the thing I failed to understand this morning was that, after assigning the colours to the white marbles, when I click on them again and the colour-choice menu comes up again, I have to click "select" to get the green ring to indicate that the potion will work.

Brew of Feather Touch and 5th ingredient

Hello, I'm in a tournament game, and I have a Brew of Feather Touch. There is an arrangement where a row of the slide track contains a red marble with a ghost ectoplasm marble either side of it. The rules say that ghost ectoplasm can be used a marble of your choice of color "at any point during...

Re: Portal Rewawrd Ties

He would have been the catcher. When multiple players open portals on the same turn, the catcher goes first to resolve their situation. This means placing bonus crystals (if the completed card does that), selecting new portal card(s), and collecting the bonus awards. Then the next player around the ...

Re: Baroness: look at 1 or 2 hands?

No they weren't. At least not that I remember. And I commented in the chat during the game and that wasn't offered as an explanation. Somebody suggested that maybe I had clicked on the same player twice by accident but again I don't think so, and I don't really want to test that theory in a real gam...

Baroness: look at 1 or 2 hands?

So the on-screen description of the Baroness says "look at 1 or 2 hands". When I've used this previously, I have been forced to look at 2 hands (which is fine) but in my current game I was only allowed to look at 1 hand. At this time, there were only 2 other players in the game so I can im...

Top X Elo not awarded: oversight or intention?

So yesterday after winning a game of Piraten Kapern I reached 6th all-time in Elo (I'm kind of embarrassed that I'm doing so well at a game that is 99% luck while I'm extremely bad at the games requiring skill :D ). Before I played my next game, one of the players above me lost, promoting me to 5th....

Re: Never enough players in Arena

Absolutely. I was about to post the same thing, and I chatted to somebody else I regularly encounter who also agreed. I can usually predict the outcome just from the 6 starting cards each player gets. It's true that I don't have to wait as long for a game, but I'm still playing the same people over ...
