Board Game Arena

I'm not one for playing competitively in the arena, and have only really dabbled in tournaments, so I want to ask the regular folks just how you feel about the state of this game.

How much of an impact are all these bugs having on your enjoyment? Is anyone exploiting them? Do you secretly hope someone makes a mistake that causes a bug and ruins their turn? Is there an awful lot of group chat or an unofficial rule about what events will or will not lead a game being abandoned, or are games played to the end no matter what?

This game is playable, but it is a minefield. A single misclick is all it takes for the fun to stop, so what keeps you coming back for more?

I'm aware of some of bugs that can be exploit to gain advantage but I don't use them (break on replacement and triple white/orange die in curve).
I saw the first one being used only one time by someone in Arena.
For the second, both me and my opponent discovered it in Arena while playing when he double click to fast on the white die and we reported it immediatly. I never encountered it since.

The only "bug" I'm using is the one allowing you to skip your turn if an opponent is blocking you.
And I'm doing it only when the opponent is not respecting the Fairplay rule and is blocking intentionnaly, by loosing time taking a suboptimal path expecting me to lose more time than him or when he got a damaged car or is slower than me on the time and is not letting a way for me to overtake.
There is nothing abusable with this bug. Rallye is about being the fastest, and blocking is forbidden in reality, so I see this one as a solution to counter an unwanted behaviour than can't be sanctionned in bga as it is in reality.

For the other bugs, like the ones that make you crash with only 1 or 2 danger, I encountered it only once or twince in more than 100 game, so it's not impacting the pleasure of the game.
The only thing I very carefull about, especially on phone, is the bouton that are not always at the same place, so if you are too fast clicking, you could end up ending your turn instead of rolling a die.

1. Exploiting a bug for whatever reason is a form of cheating.
2. I don't know who approved the end of the BETA phase, but they were wrong.
3. If people don't want to play with interaction, perhaps a time trial mode should be included.

Another bug I run into is that "breaking" the car is supposed to set your time to (time of slowest player) + 1 minute. But here it sets your time to infinity.

The only way around it is to remember that it exists and that completely breaking your car is not an option to save time.

"triple white/orange die in curve"
This can also happen with gear die

Can also happen if you've already initiated a slide.

Essentially, it happens in any situation where the next die only has one valid spot to be placed

I agree with what Diana said.
I would use the skip/cancel your move to mitigate negative play.
It seems that is more a feature than a bug for me.
It's about getting the fastest time (over minimum 3 stages)
