Board Game Arena

I've played 3 ranked games and i've already had to deal with a game where almost every negative effect was used on me (Putting me barely into 3rd place, when i would have gotten 1st) Here is the link.

Literally a 1v2 game almost the entire time.

I personally think they teamed up against me, both working together the entire time (mostly the fault of the person in 3rd place most of the game) But regardless of that, the game is not balanced as a 1v1v1 game, it should either be 4 players or 2, 1v2 is an unfortunate reality that exists the way the game is set up, even if it isn't being done intentionally. You put a ton of faith into the people you play with to not cheat, and it just happens, regardless of if you can 'prove' intent or w/e.

If you're playing a game with more than 2 players and actual real player interaction, it's not going to be balanced. That's just how playing with more than 2 people goes. Politics matters more than technical play. Not going to speak for your specific game, but don't be surprised if you get beaten down on by the decisions of multiple players, whether it's because they're intentionally working together or because they're actually messing up to your detriment. Or maybe you actually are playing better (mechanically speaking anyways) than everyone else, so they're rightfully tearing you down so you don't get ahead, improving their chances.

99% of players who believe this are wrong and just not particularly good at the game.
