Thanks so much for releasing the game now. It's wonderful
Why is the Classical Setup (choose one board from two) being used for arena?
The boards are heavily unbalanced. This option takes out a lot of skill and brings in a lot of luck mainly on which boards you are able to draw ("Yay! I drew the best one! I won!" "Oh, I drew the 2 worst ones! GG, wp! I resign!")
There is an option to use identical random boards. Using this option would also mean each board would be played the same amount of times and not some boards nearly every time in comparison to other weak boards. So people would get to play more different boards with an identical board setup.
If you get to choose between 2 bad boards and your opponent between 2 good boards or vice versa it's just so unfair.
Also if two highly and equally skilled players would play each other the winner would be often immediately crowned before the game would even start with this Classical Setup setting. It would take out most if not all the fun for highly competitive and skilled players.
Another question I have is why is the 2019 Edition being used? I guess it is because Ravensburger wants to promote the new edition?
We all know though how unbalanced the 2019 Edition is in comparison with the original edition. All thanks to knowledge tile number 6.
You can fill the whole board with this tile. This has never been possible before and it is not in the spirit of the game. It is so ridiculous. I have never seen anything that broken in a board game and I have probably played 400+ board games in my life
Any chance to switch arena settings to the old edition and to Identical Random Boards in the next season?
