Board Game Arena

My school days are long over, so I will trust you guys on the exact math

But even though the percentage is clearly below 50%, these are the kind of situations which I always try to avoid. Being forced into moves is never pleasant, much so in the last round.

On a similar note, you would also lose the +2 appeal bonus if you cover the observation tower.

As with everything in Ark Nova, it depends on the game state. If you are not sure, I would always upgrade Cards over Association. There are some few games where it is okay to not upgrade one of the big 3 must-upgrades (Build, Animals, Cards), with Cards being the upgrade which is the easiest to forf...

Brass: Lancashire (Birmingham is also fine) Everdell The Gallerist Bitoku Fields of Arle Bonus: the Tuscany expansion of Viticulture...I just can't play without Dune Imperium will get a Steam app this year, so it is unlikely to come to BGA. Suchý games such as Underwater Cities are released on Yucata.

1) Player 1 should take the red and place in the bottom row. I don't see why this is even a matter of argument. The reason it's good is because it makes it VERY hard for Player 2 to both complete column 2 and row 4 anytime in the near future--Player 2 needs to collect 6 red. 2) Player 2 has a few o...

Or we can fill in white in row 3 - this tile is worth 16 points (6 points for the adjacencies, 3 points for increasing th...

I have the opposite problem. I very, very rarely win with Silver Lake (maybe like once or twice) because I feel like my engine starts too slow. My experience with it is that the determination skill is needed to balance the map, but I still struggle every time I get it. I much prefer the +2 enclosur...

Thank you so much Propaganda_Panda and Pellepen for your thoughts and encouragements! Ideas make a ton of sense, I will give it a shot this week, expect the very first "Puzzle of the week" sometime this week on this BGA forum! [Regarding comment 4: theoretically you can figure out which t...

Hey Effgee - first of all, great idea. Love it! That said, the response has been negligble so far. Which is a pity, because your content definitely deserves more engagement! May I offer some suggestions: - 1) One puzzle per day is too much, both for you and the commenters. I would keep it at one puz...
