I've not played it on BGA yet, but Arena is 2 players currently, so it's quite natural for players to select 2 player.

I prefer playing Abyss with just 2 players as it removes the advantage that a player has in larger player counts when a weaker player is in the game. I also find that larger player counts increase the randomness of the game exponentially.

In general I feel Abyss is definitely fun at all players count and will play occasionally especially if they add some expansions. Overall 2 vs 4 players is Abyss is just completely different.

IMO 4 player is a lot more random but at the same time "usually" more fun.

2 player is very strategic and can be fun too but just lacks those fun rounds where you gain 6 pearls because everyone buys your stuff!

Where can we complain about this ?
I will stop playing Abyss in Arena mode, it's too long with 4 people...

4 players turn based games are gonna be endless!

Maybe switch to 3 players so we can keep a balance between strategy and fun ?

You can probably open a thread in the Abyss subforum (https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=348)

Additionally, you can open a suggestion on the bug tracker and ask peoples to vote for it in the thread.

3 players is no good too, because whit 3, there way higher chances of kingmaking if two players were friends and a random player join in, and start doing this.

4 player too, but less than 3, because if there was only 2 friends and 2 randoms join, and see the 2 friends are doing this, they could at least counter-attack this.

If u KNOW some people r friends, avoid playing with them at all.
