Do you like the 2 current expansions?

I think the expansions currently available on BGA make the game more unbalanced (in favor of outlaws) and more luck based. Do you agree?

If you agree with me and are a guru, could you please vote to remove them from the arena? Thanks

I really think that the problem with arena mode isn't having the expansions on there. I think the fact arena is 6 players tilts game in favor of outlaws.

For me, the key is how many meaningful decisions the game offers. High Noon and A Fistful of Cards add randomness, but also opportunities to plan ahead. Seeing the next event lets you adapt. Paying attention and preparing should make a difference. Mixing the expansions makes the event pool less predictable, but that doesn’t erase the strategy individual events create.

Player count matters for the same reason. I prefer six players because the larger table creates more room for positional play: weapon range matters more, holding Cat Balou or Panic! to cut an outlaw’s access to the Sheriff can be crucial, and the Renegade has more shifting threats to balance. Five players reduces some of that complexity. A more even spread of wins across roles isn’t automatically worth losing those decisions.

Are you opposed to trying a season with 7 players? I agree 5 players favors law, but I think with 7 you get benefits of large table and more balanced win rates.
