Why did Arena get changed to 2 players?

I mean, I guess if that's what it is, that's what it is, but I'm kinda bummed about it.

Was excited for arena, but not a fan of <4 players. Hopefully next season is 4.

This doesn't really explain why it changed? I mean, it was 4 players. I currently have two different 4 player turn based arena games and I played at least one in realtime. But later in the day it changed to 2.

Anyway, it is what it is. I'll wait until it's 4 player to join any arena stuff. Hopefully next season.

It wasn't 4 players but rather 'undefined', which shouldn't have happened.
As the result, you can find 2 player Arena games generated before yours as well.

2 player euchre is not fun. Neither is no trump call.

I would tend to agree with the comments here. If it is a settings/software issue for the first Arena season then fine but I was really excited for this to hit Arena and now will not play until it is 4 or more players. I prefer 6, but know that is a regional preference but anything less than 4 is not fun in my opinion. Thanks for all the work on this so far!

Specific table settings/format for all arena games is decided on each season by the game gurus (group of the most active players for said game in arena).

So it should most likely be fixed next arena season at least. When the gurus have had a chance to vote on a specific table setting.

Note: Currently 4-player suggestion is dominating the vote, so you guys don't have to worry, I guess?

Same, i guess we are stuck waiting 57 days before being able to play, but it does seem like if ever a game's settings should be changed midway through an Arena round this would be the time/game
