Board Game Arena

Why is this option not available? It says that my requirements are too strict but nothing I do makes it available.

What other preferences do you have selected?

It does not matter what my settings are. This software is crap. It should not disallow options and then restore them when I haven't changed anything.

So you don't actually want to figure this out?

It may be that you’ve accidentally gone into Arena mode — it’s confusing because almost everything else looks the same but it locks the menu option but doesn’t tell you that you’re in Arena mode or give you an error — this is what happened to me this past week In case anyone else is encountering this.

Sometimes just complaining is the goal, not solving the problem.

It very much matters what your settings are. You are probably set for Arena mode.

How do I turn offArena mode? I am new to BGA and trying to figure out how to play Mega only or most of the time but most games I get are the basic version where only three tickets are shown initially - I chose “ I prefer to play Mega on the options.

Next to word Arena in the lobby do you see an arrow pointing down? On most modern UIs, including BGA, that indicates that there are options present that will be revealed if the arrow is clicked.
