Asteroid Mining Consortium

[rambling_coherently]

It's not just Asteroid Consortium. There are lots of cards that literally break the game in 1v1. I have no idea why you would play Mars with 2p other than casually.

This is certainly an opinion.

[FollowFolklore]

Yeah, an objective opinion. Imagine wasting 40 minutes of your life on a game that is mainly decided by who gets the most S-tier cards. Mars wasn't even balanced for 2p, but I don't really want to argue with arena players, you guys clearly have a specific mindset that starts with "a".

Then tell us which player count you think to know this game was designed for.

[stillframe]

The designer has stated that the game was designed around 3-4 players. Card balance makes this fairly evident in any case.

I opine card / corporation balance varies across player counts, sure; I don't see anything in the design that screams to me 'this was designed for 3p or 4p'. Sure all the attack cards are weaker in any non 2p game; some cards and corps are stronger in 3p+ than 2p -there's nothing I can see that points to the game being designed for 3p+.

Of course, I am a Frylexus (spelling?) so perhaps somewhere they have stated this opinion on the game.

you have 600+ games with a 53% wr at 200 elo...Statistically even if you have every S tier card you will struggle to beat good players, maybe focus on your gameplay rather than venting at supposed balance issues that you aren't good enough to properly understand.

[PleaseAGB1]

I'd opine we are better off debating opinions on the game regardless of the ELO rating of the people in the discussion... but hey, internet is internet.

[FrankJones]

Agreed. FollowFolklore is correct, there are some imbalanced cards, especially in 2-player.

That said, the game still plays well with 2 players and is often the preferred player count.

[ArchDevious]

So what is the minimum elo and winrate you need to be able to complain about balence issues in the forurms?

0—an argument from authority is a logical fallacy.
