Hidden tiebreaker?
Posted: 26 May 2024, 16:57
I just played a 2-player game where we tied on points, but my opponent was awarded the victory. Not a tournament. Is there a hidden tiebreaker - the rules do not indicate one?
The rule MasterMar stated is explicitly in the rules, at least the English version:
Add up all the points you scored throughout the
game, including completed Lucky Box cards.
Whoever has the biggest Mega Total wins! In the
case of a tie, the tied player with the most Moon
tokens wins.
Post a link the game please.JeshuaMorbus wrote: ↑30 May 2024, 10:55 It happened to me and the real tie-breaker was the number of stars. We had same points, same moons but different number of stars: that was made me loose.

The only difference between my score and my adversary's was the number of stars (both of us summed 9, but i had more? I can't remember well).Meeplelowda wrote: ↑30 May 2024, 18:51Post a link the game please.JeshuaMorbus wrote: ↑30 May 2024, 10:55 It happened to me and the real tie-breaker was the number of stars.

It says right there on the game results page that you are both 1st. It doesn't do that if a tie breaker resulted in a different place. BGA doesn't have a different sound for a tie for 1st vs. a solo win.JeshuaMorbus wrote: ↑31 May 2024, 02:00https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=519131319 <- i'm pretty sure i "won" this game (at least, it was celebrated with the winning fanfare, if not with ELO points xD).

In the stats, the only clear difference is that i had won more lightning bolts than my opponent... heck, it's almost a mirror match XD
Why do you give more credibility to the sound effect than to the final result (where it says both players are 1st), the Arena result (you didn't win or lose any shield), and the elo exchange (if you hover on the elo, it clearly says you both tied)?JeshuaMorbus wrote: ↑31 May 2024, 02:00 i'm pretty sure i "won" this game (at least, it was celebrated with the winning fanfare, if not with ELO points xD).
