Arène saison 15 : En route pour la nouvelle saison d'arène !

[BROT42]

Bravo à tous les participants de la saison d'arène précédente !

Mais d'abord, qu'est ce que c'est que le mode Arène ?

Le mode Arène est le mode compétitif de BGA. Si vous voulez jouer de manière compétitive à un jeu que vous maîtrisez particulièrement bien, c'est LE mode avec lequel vous pourrez affronter les meilleurs joueurs et gagner le plus de points d'expérience.

L'arène est organisée en saisons qui durent 3 mois, et les trophées sont attribués en fin de saison aux meilleurs joueurs.

Pour jouer en mode Arène, cliquez sur "Jouer", puis choisissez "Arène" au lieu de "Simple partie".

En savoir plus sur le mode Arène

Formats Arena et gourous

Depuis 8 saisons, c'est vous (et plus exactement les gourous) qui choisissez le format des jeux en Arène, c'est à dire le nombre de joueurs à chaque table et les options utilisées.

Nous sommes très heureux de voir que cette manière de fonctionner a contribué à rendre l'arène plus populaire : merci à tous les gourous pour leurs suggestions d'options et leurs votes !

Modification de règles

Pas de modification de règles cette saison : l'arène fonctionnera exactement de la même manière. Cela ne signifie pas que nous sommes à 100% satisfaits, mais vous semblez apprécier le format actuel et on essaie de garder un peu de stabilité.

La Saison 15 débute MAINTENANT

Quelques explications à propos des relégations

A la fin de chaque saison, après avoir récompensé les vainqueurs, vous êtes relégué.

Nous devons parfois appliquer des règles particulières pour un jeu (par exemple si le nombre de ligues a changé), mais dans le cas général, voici ce qui se passe :

• Pour les jeux qui ont 5 ou 6 ligues différentes, tous les joueurs descendent de 3 ligues.
• Pour les jeux qui ont 4 ligues différentes, tous les joueurs descendent de 2 ligues.
• Pour les jeux qui ont 2 ou 3 ligues différentes, tous les joueurs descendent de 1 ligue.
• Pour tous les jeux et toutes les ligues, le nombre de points Arena est remis à 1, et votre AES ("Arena Elo") est remis à 1500.

A vous de jouer pour trouver le chemin de l'élite !


Et que le sort vous soit favorable !

ho oui les arenes pour Setup sont descendues à 2 joueurs, merciiii

[Shippolito]

Bonjour,
Je suis surpris de ne pas voir de changement, ni d'annonce sur Race for the galaxy, est-ce volontaire ou bien est-ce un simple oubli ?
Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, merci beaucoup pour tout ce que vous faites ! C'est un plaisir sans cesse renouvelé

[Juliostar]

Jouer au Toc(k), à 2 joueurs ? Sérieux les gourous, je ne comprends pas ce choix... Certes, les délais d'attente vont être moins longs mais les parties tellement moins intéressantes et beaucoup plus basées sur la chance des cartes que sur une réelle stratégie.

J'aime l'idée du 5 pour bouger n'importe quel pion (les siens comme ceux de l'adversaire) mais je regrette et critique vivement ce choix de parties à 2 Déjà hâte d'en finir avec cette saison en espérant un retour à 4 joueurs pour la saison 16

Je viens de publier ce post (en anglais comme demandé par la plateforme) :
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=100998

Je pense en effet que l'on fait face à un biais de représentativité des gourous, du fait de leur (notre... J'en fait partie ou en ai fait partie) sélection.
Pour devenir gourou, il faut jouer beaucoup de parties en peu de temps. Il y a donc plus de gourous issus de parties courtes (à 2 joueurs) que de parties longues. Et comme ce sont les gourous qui votent pour la configuration des saisons, au fil des saisons, les configurations vont de venir de plus en plus courtes...
