Board Game Arena

What does everyone else think of the changes that have been made to the interface? I like that a few things have been sped up like drawing planets and trading for points, but some other stuff just seems weird.

Why do you now have to wait for your opponent(s) to follow/dissent before discarding and replenishing your hand?

What is the purpose of the "set aside zone"?

Why aren't the scenario cards shown?

Why can't you just click on a planet to attack it after playing the warfare action?

Not sure about the changes, but disappointed to see that we can no longer play Eminent Domain in "Arena" mode.

I think that's just temporary, until Escalation is up and running.

Yes, it's only temporary, you can check the announcement in the game group:

Set aside zone prevents you from playing with the same card more than once during the same turn. Since you don't shuffle the set aside zone cards with discard cards to replenish your empty deck. The designers most likely did that to prevent infinite loops with the double action card or to have an extra powerful turns when using a powerful tech cards although I think it is more for the former than the latter.

The availability date of the game in BGA is not correct. The game is available since 09/12/2018 and not since 2021 (that's the date when an expansion was added, I think).

Indeed, adding the expansion changed the date. I have fixed it to the proper value. Thanks.

A bit of topic but, how is the interaction value of the game is determined here?

Meta-information about the game is set by the programmer when implementing the game (so the complexity/strategy/luck/interaction values reflect their own evaluation of the game characteristics).

And their own interpretation of what they really mean. It seems there are different opinions about what exactly is "interaction", for example.
