Arena Season 1 - Games configuration changed (complete list)

[Sherysasz]

I agree that 7 wonders is far less fun with 3, I'd even prefer it at 4 to 5. and 11 people/thousands players, we can do a better survey ...

Newbie here, where can I find the listing of all Arena games and their configurations (not just the changes from Arena S0?

Agree with Zojangles that Lost Cities 3 rounds is an optimal improvement.

I would agree. Maybe speed to game up a bit (2 turns per day maybe) but raise it to 3 rounds

When on the arena lobby page, you just need to click the "Gear" icon of the game you are interested in to check the options.

Another player who far prefers 7 Wonders at 4 player.s On BGG, 4-5 player have far more "Best" ratings than the 3-player count as well. I really hope this gets changed for Season 2.

It seems most of these changes are focused on the most popular games. I know a lot of the games in the bottom 2/3rds of popularity are good at different player counts and hope they get some consideration for a new setup.

legendary inventors - currently at 3, but also a good game at 2 and 4 (and more strategic at 2)...3 is often a game of choosing which person to mess up
Troyes - currently at 3, but really good at 2 (and more strategic)
Palaces of Carrara - currently at 4, but limits number of matchups due to low popularity. 2 or 3 work just as well. (with 2 being the most strategic)
Tzolk'in - currently at 2. while ideal at 4, trying at least 3 to get more games would be better than the current 2 (which was designed to get more plays in).

I agree with those above who don't like 7 Wonders as a 3 player.

In my opinion, that seems like pandering to the elites who hang out on the forums - Im not convinced that that is what the majority of players would want.

Hello everyone, thank you for the information and the shared links. I'm going to talk about 7 wonders.

Indeed it seems at first a good compromise to switch 3p / 4p from one season to another.
And it is interesting to see how very different the game becomes.
I wonder if people could vote though, would it be 50-50 or a far majority does prefer the 4+ players configuration.

IMO I find the game more complex because more strategic and surprising in a 4 players set, therefore way more interesting and enjoyable.

Cheers!

It is taking FOREVER to find a game of raceFTG in arena. I've had easier time finding games for less popular games.

The BoW expansion is infamous for the prestige mechanism, which many hate. Also, everyone agrees that it is one of the most luck-based expansions out there, if not the most. So, can we have that changed as well? Arena should be for competitive play, having an expansion infamous for being luck-based as its "competitive mode" completely ignores the purpose of arena mode.

Now, I don't dislike BoW that much. In fact, I find it quite enjoyable at times, but:
1. I can't find a single match.
2. It is one of the most luck-based expansions.

A poll would be nice, just like what happened with Carcassone.

I've had a post in the raceFTG forum about that, but either nobody really cares about the game anymore (even though it is one of the most popular games) or nobody just visits the raceFTG forum.

To Greg the president of BGA bcA I did not quit a game earlyif you look at the very end of the opponents said good game the game was over and we both left just look at the screen you'll see that he said good game and I'll lift and this stuff about caramel seriously 14 point is that people have family emergencies people have other emergencies who knows and you're going to penalize them because they leave a game early there's all kinds of reasons to leave the game early seriously I'm not so sure I even left the game early the first time you sent me a warning
and your service may be fine and that's great that your service is fine but I have Wi-Fi and sometimes it's slow sometimes it disconnects it just because people leaving game early doesn't mean that they intentionally did it phone problems other problems can happen
