Board Game Arena

The game just launched (e.g.; in the middle of a season). While the game play itself has been throughly tested in Alpha and Beta by many players, there was no way to simulate the Arena experience of getting a table to form. Having it configured to 3 players (while generally voted as the "ideal" table size, to be sure) was resulting in longer wait times to form a game. It's worth the wait, of course <grin>, but it's also important to efficiently get players into games rather than have them waiting 5min+.

But it's started anyway. It's a part of next season. There are a lot of in progress 3-player games.

In general I don't think that this game is good or even decent as duel. Some other games use 4-5 players setting for Arena and it's fine if it's the best setting for certain game.

But main here is that there is a rule for Arena that all games at certain season should be played with the same settings - https://boardgamearena.com/faq?anchor=f ... tionconfig.

This was not changed by the publisher/developer, it was done by BGA Admins. You'll have to wait for their response.
