Can we switch from longest road to most destination for a future Arena Season?

Might mix things up and make it more interesting with people actually having to try and complete destinations for once. Just a suggestion/thought.

Isn't the standard rules just longest route? I don't think you see most tickets without using alternate rulesets like 1910.

Right, that's what I'm proposing. One season using the alternate set/rules, for a change to mix things up and make people try a new strategy/way of playing. Might make it more interesting for a couple of months.

You would need to implement it as a game option first, before you could even ask for it in Arena settings. And is it an official game rule?
BGA says no house rules without explicit formal publisher/designer consent.

It's a part of the 1910 expansion rules which are already a game setting option in normal play. The fact that people don't even know about this just shows we've been playing the same way for too damn long lol.

I think he knew that, I believe he thought you were proposing using globetrotter WITHOUT the 1910 expansion (I was confused also).

So what you are hoping for is just a switch to the 1910 expansion?

I guess. Even just for one arena season. I just find it would be interesting to have to switch up strategies and play the game differently for even a short time.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game and there are lots of interesting ways to play it as is. But I do find it repetitive since its been like this for as long as i've participated in Arena.

Was just a suggestion to maybe mix things up for one season?

The longest route has become tedious!

Given that the guru voting for the new arena season format closed two days ago, it was doubly pointless that you necroed this old thread.

Only one thing that is pointless and that is ---!
