Board Game Arena

Would everyone consider a vote for your say top 3 scenarios..

One approach could be as in RTS such as Starcraft for example, with its rotation of map pools.
Then again, scenarios in M44 have far more impact than mere maps on an RTS.

Limiting the scenario pool to just 3 would be inmensely stale.

So to the contrary, M44 Arena could be more akin to the card pool of a Trading Card game, as HearthStone for example.

They are very aware to avoid stale-ness as a priority.

We will need to find our own equilibrium over here.

But I'm quite sure the more map pool the better, so I envision banning a handful of maps, and have Arenas be played at random among the rest. Certainly better this than just having a few select maps to repeat over and over...
