Add an option "Disable multiple transmute bonus" ?

[Want_You]

No doubt multiple transmute bonus should be allowed by official rule. In former years, BGA rules was buggy. Only the first transmute bonus is effiective so the bonus could be +1 for each element at most. Latter the bug was fixed, then a booming strategy become very strong so than other strageties all drop their win ratio. That's good, but for nostalgia players ( me for example ), will there be an option to enjoy the old buggy version ?


Will it be possible ?

+1
using three +1 transmute bonus in a single turn is a devastating way of play for the game, since this is a card game and combo between card brings most pleasure.
Now no other stragies can be a compete to the 3-transmute-bonus one, sadly.

I doubt they will want to spend time and effort doing this. The main concern for them would be to have the game working exactly as it should following the rules. While it's a very powerful strategy you can still beat it, seasons has a big luck factor to it. I've had some games where my opponent used all three bonus for transmute and still lost.

Devs/BGA are also not allowed to implement non-official rules/variants.

The publisher would have to agree that it needs changing and either issue official errata changing the rule or officially sanctioning a variant for it to have a chance of being implemented on here (then a dev would have to want to AND have the time to change it).

I never played that way. Is this a bug to allow that? Or is it fair?

Huge transmute is a basic winning strategy in this game and to be efficient relies on multiple cards combos. If you aim 200+ points, you should build your deck thinking how you can actually earn that much cristals.

Hello,
after nearly 10 000 games, I have to admit that I'm quite tired of this way to play.

I don't have exact stats but, if I have to give my subjective feelings, I would say that :
1) something like 70% of my losing games are due to multiple transmute bonus during last round.
2) something like 20% of my losing games are due to multiple Boots.
3) only 10% are due to other strategies (and I love to lose that way, still learning new cool combos).

On the other way, I have to say that I am not totally proud to win according to multiple transmutation/Boots (which are also the huge majority of my winning games).

I loved Seasons, still appreciate it. But I think that it could be a real "fresh breeze" to add unofficial modes, such as "no multiple transmute bonus" (or even more difficult : "no multiple bonus at all") and "no Boots deck".
