Board Game Arena

Hi I thought let's make a thread with the purpose of showing interesting games. Either to

• Re-view: For a game that was very eye-pleasing, where an exceptional move was found, very tense till the end or beautiful puzzled by one side or both sides. In other words, a game worth viewing!

• Review: For a game where you don't understand where, when or how you lost. Looking for general improvements. Or maybe you have a question about a specific move in a position

I will try my best to give honest feedback to your question! Within my ability off course. I am currently 700+ but have briefly peaked (lucky fluked lol) to 875 elo. Keep in mind that I also make plenty of suboptimal moves, I just do my best

Let's just start with a game I just played. First half is not so interesting, but I really liked how I played the second half. Giving away the 0-3 but getting everything and a perfect puzzle in return

And yes, If I find a game in which I am severly outplayed I will also post it haha. Not here just to brag This game I won against someone clearly rated lower. However, he is a nice person to chat with, a real gentleman and defo not a bad player!

Here is a fun one. What happens if there are 3 pieces in a row that doesn't fit on your board? Your opponent might just plan out the rest of the game as mostly a series of pass moves. https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=630133915

Your tourney win game vs Pawel44 is interesting as well. The dynamic of excessive buttons vs having more of the board filled and 7x7.

Yeah, it is an interesting dynamic, for most of the game it seems like the board fill path is working, I'm far behind on points when accounting for the extra income that I will have, and he is doing well to keep on taking patches despite his low income. But in the end his board is almost full, and he can't take the high value pieces that let me catch up.
