As far as I know, there are no rules or guidelines about what the "complexity", "strategy", "luck" and "interaction" ratings even mean, let alone how the numbers should be set. Maybe the person who set the rating (the developer?) interpreted that there is luck involved in choosing which player goes first, or in whom you play against.
We were talking about this on another post. This same topic is now on front page about 4x. I don’t know which one to comment on

There have already been several suggestions to filter games on BGA according to degree of luck (and other categories).
If you are interested in this feature, please vote on
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=46942
So people have been asking for this for years. Surprising this only has 20 something votes.
There are at least 10 suggestion reports about this, all given in the link above! Alltogether there must be a lot more votes (But not everyone has voted on every report, because they were not linked to each other in the past.)
