Board Game Arena

Hello I would like to know if it is possible to get a victory in round 3 and if it has already been done
I'm talking about games containing the expansion lux and tenebrae (in arena mode)

Yes, it's possible. I've had maybe 4 or 5 round three wins in about 200 games.

Sure. I just made dragon teeth-infernal machine combo round 3 more than 20 points.

So, I just had a round 3 win in Arena with Philosopher's Stone earlier today. What's crazy about this particular game is I was planning on using PS round 3 and supplementing it with buying Sacrificial Pit, because my opponent was potentially buying up Monuments with C. Dwarven King and I didn't know if there would be enough left. In round 3, I decided to take a chance and go all-in on Stone, because there were 6 monuments left - which would be plenty, right? Well, I drew 5 one point monuments and Oracle! I still pulled it off though, and bought Sacrificial Pit after all.

Most of my round 3 wins have been with PS, because if I get Infernal Engine, I don't use it to combo with Dragon's Teeth or Chalice of Life any longer. I'm not throwing shade at anyone that does that. I've done it multiple times, and it's obviously a legit method. It's just too easy, and not fun for me. I'll still combo it with Imp though - and I really want a chance to try to combo it with an early Windup Man some day.

Here's a link to the game earlier today if anyone's interested.

It is also theoretically possible to get like 25 points on turn 3 with dragon teeth although not round 2.

But not many players can achieve that.

Also I now realize that someone already said that they did it which is impressive. I believe it is possible to win on round two with 9 points and the end first token but I do not know, it is untested.

Win in 2 rounds :

3 round wins are not uncommon, maybe about 3-5% of games ?

Just had a nice one with PStone

I had elvish bow, fiery whip, vortex of destruction and corrupt altar in play at the start of round 3

with reanimate it meant i could sacrifice all 4 to get about 30 gold with the stone ^^
