Lake on arena?

Post by YahtzeeKal »

I am a bit surprised to see that Lake was voted-in for the new Arena season. And disappointed. It really ruins it, for me anyway. I feel the Arena should really be the base game, purist, and not sure if I'll play/subscribe further now this Arena season. We'll see. Mini-rant over ;)

Yep, I started several turn-based arena games, and now I have no idea what these extra tile things do.... trying to find the rules online

You can find the rules of any game if you scroll down under the game board. There will be a tab saying "How to play?" and it'll open a drop down menu to rule links in various languages.

Have a nice day!

You know, I was also surprised, but in the best possible way. I MUCH prefer Lake to Base and Base has been the default season after season after season for years now, which is why I necver used arena mode. Maybe give the people who have a different taste one tiny season? This is the first time I've seen lake in six years in arena.

Think about it - why should all the seasons be identical? Wouldn't it be much fairer to give people with differing preferences a season aswell? That represents the big variaty of options this game offers.

Good point. I do seem to be in the minority with my view.

Actually, I also have a games site, very small, and it's an issue we do have - giving enough opportunity for people to play tournament games that suit their preferences, it's tough. So I see your point, thanks.

Fair enough, and probably good for me too because I will get more work done this month! :)
