Board Game Arena

I'm, finding that around half of C&K games are ruined because players are accidentally getting into them when they don't realise the difference. They usually wan to escape after the first couple of turns, and the game has to be abandoned. A very bad experience for all players! Would it be possible to highlight the "Cities and Knights" part of the brief description under "Open for Joining"?

Or even add an extra sentence " Make sure you understand the rules for this version"

Im experiencing the same. You can tell with the initial settlement / city choices that someone does not know they are playing the extension. It starts them at a disadvantage and I agree they often quit.

I noticed this when I first started playing C&K here, so I started putting messages warning about that this was a C&K game. Now I just use the game preferences with the automatic matching and set the expansion to "I'm okay with C&K" and "I never want to play Base Game".

agree

I found that quality of players in C&K version is pretty bad. Most of them have very low reputation and half of them willing to quit the game before it finished.
It could improve the situation a lot if you could make Arena for C&K version, allowing only players with reputation 65%+ to participate.

Same problem was playing Tranquility with <100 elo players. That was a total mess of players not knowing there was another objective on the game.
