Board Game Arena

Especially now that the game is gone from that other game hosting site, I expect we'll see an influx of more players here since BGA still uses the original board art. I hope we can see all the different boards here soon. What's your favorite version? Mine has to be Pennsylvania and UK (I can choose ...

It’s a map so generally I wouldn’t see a reason for it to be a problem. I don’t know of any political reasons it may be controversial either? But to me if there’s any problem it’s the shape of the highlighted countries. If you think there’s anything reason it might be construed as bad or break the T...

I love that as a house rule! Will have to tell my friend I play with in person.

I was just in a ranked game where someone suggested no placing the robber on someone until they had 3 points. I wasn’t in the mood to chat and also that is more of a friendly play than something to do in ranked imo so I just didn’t respond. This player then runs his clock down to 5 seconds while spa...

This sounds very similar to the other thread you posted: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32221 It's been discussed ad nauseam. You're best bet is to vote for the existing site suggestion to further bring it to BGA's attention. I realized after posting in the discussions forum that ...

Regarding private red thumbs, it is true that they do not directly affect the recipient's karma. However, it's important to recognize that the lack of restriction on public red thumbs raises concerns about their potential misuse and the impact on player experiences. Without any validation or requir...

There needs to be a check before ranked games start, like just a “I’m here” or “accept game start” checkbox before going to the player screen. Kind of like League of Legends where you’re in the queue and you have to accept the game or you’re just booted from the queue if you don’t accept within 10 s...

I’d pick the 8-5-brick port since you’d have pretty strong starting spots and a port of your strongest trade good. You can easily build roads/settlements with that and I’d take the first chance to upgrade the current settlement to a city.

Oh nice! I got this from Kickstarter but haven’t been able to play it much.
