Board Game Arena

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".

Formats Arena et gourous
 
Dans les saisons précédentes, 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 18 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 !
