Kingmaking

[paolof92]

How to combat kingmaking in a game like hearts where you can decide other's fate?
I just ended a match where a player helped one other to win and then the other helped him get second. Reporting is useless cause no one ever check. So what's the best strategy to avoid things like that?

I am the "other player", the player that won that game. Sometimes there are players that chose to play for the second place. Nothing to say about that. Probably they are looking to raise ELO ranking, or to loose only a few points beacause the leader, in that game, is unbeatable.
Every game has a different story.
So... Paolof92, dont waste your time and try to play better.

Unfortunately, on BGA, you are very wrong about that, just look at all the recent and continous posts about that there only should be one winner.

No clue where this comes from, and how they‘d play this in RL, it‘s not my opinion and I dont understand it, but sometimes the BGA environment just triggers weird stuff.
