Board Game Arena

Hello,

There is a trend for many games to converge with 1 vs 1 games, even when it is not the recommended settings for that game.
There are many reasons for that : people want game to move fast, they want the settings to be simple to avoid chance (bad starting position) "spoiling" their performance, and so on.
Since the players playing that way tend to have more games played than others, they tend to become gurus and impose this format to many arena settings.

But there are many other players that would rather play on the recommanded settings, in a competitive way as well, but with more variability. I see there are complaints and arguing in many game dedicated threads.

I suggest to have 2 arenas (or two leagues, or whatever), one for the 1 vs 1 players, one for the game recommended settings player.

There are also games with different settings that never get chosen for arena. I’m in favor of having two arena seasons.

I a! For this as well.

Sushi go is a great example for this.


Bids, another example, I would like to see two arenas for this game. One with color bids(current) and one without
