Board Game Arena

Why is the 2-clue variant inplemented here not offered as an option (for 4-player) instead of defaulting to it? Why was this change even introduced. If the game was implemented as intended (or at least as it is in the box), this question of 'when would you start a 5-player game' not even arise.

Whilst I agree it's an option we may want to play very often, I don't think that's a reason to remove it. I've got four friends who I game with (in person) regularly - we could conceivably want to play online.
If you don't like it just don't play it!
