All competitive games (non cooperatives) are part of the Arena ladder.

For now we don't see any reason to exclude some games, so we go this way.

Guessing it’ll be manually launched sometime during the daytime in france...so as early as 4 hours from now. At least I’m hoping :-) Most anxious to see what the setup will be for the 25 or so games I’d consider trying in arena mode.

Hi. Big THANKS.

I wish Kalah with 6 stones. Why Kalah are only with 4 stones not 6 (it's andvanced), while Go (board 19x19) andQuarto has advanced variants?

Hi,

Game variants used for Arena are typically something that we need to test in order to check if we did the right choices.

For now, we feel that 4 stones Kalah is the best as half of the games played on BGA are played with this variant (only 35% for 6 stones). It may change in the future.

Hi,
I have a problem with Bubblee Pop in arena mode.
When I click on the play button, I get an error message : "Vos préférences de jeu pour Bubblee Pop ne sont pas valables. Vous devriez les vérifier ou les remettre à zéro."
I had no problem playing other games in arena mode.
Is there something I missed ?

My first now new problem is that since I can't play in arena games where i dont have 100 elo (and many games im actually extremly savant in real life i just didnt play them in bga), there are many games I would be willing to play in arena that im pretty savant about, but cant.
So play until you raise elo you say?
Yes, I'm willing to, but when i search for games, i have to choose to either search for arena games, or serach for those games i didnt reach 100 elo. And I prefer to find an arena game, but while i search for arena games i cant search for 100 elo games. which means i have to make the choice, instead of being able to search for both arena games and 100 elo games. Whatever i can find first.

possible solution is that hwen i click search for all my favorite games in arena mode, for favorites where i dont have 100 elo, it just searches me a casual game for those.
