You are a person of great taste - the top 4 are my top 4 as well

I assume the original poster is thinking of tournaments, since regular or arena don't have a tiebreaker. I agree that the tournament rules for breaking ties in bracket tournaments where the top 1 or 2 from each game advance are confusing. That's a BGA question rather than a Russian Railroads questio...

Does BGA have outage issues more the past year or is it just recency bias?

Thank you so far. Is it also possible to take a disc away if it is not needed for a delivery but for a new station that you reach with your train? To clarify: I am interessted how this issue is dealt with in the BGA-Adoption. As far as I found out, in the Original game, if you run out of discs you ...

(I am having this issue on US West Coast, but problem is also happening in Canada from what friends tell me.)

I was going to say that, but afraid I'd be crossing whatever line led to the mod edit in the first place. I don't know which BGA staffer is tasked with editing people's comments on the forums, but in recent years I have noticed they are rather quick to push the button. It doesn't always seem sensib...

I do not enjoy the game as much as some people, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but there are some parts of the bidding system I think are not great. Often the final player on a round can set up a very strong move for the first player on the next round. Then the opening bidder on that subse...
