Is it always the same Square?

I have had 2 consecutive games with the same square setup. Why would that be the case? There are many different ways to arrange the pieces into a square.

See this bug report, and upvote if you agree: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=71066

The rules state:

"The 17 wooden tiles are placed edge-to-edge to form the game board. For example, players can make either:" and then two diagrams, captioned "An 8 x 8 square" and "An irregular shape of 10 x 10 maximum".

Done.

What happens if there is a tie? I have never seen a tiebreaker rule anywhere, but I would think ties are not uncommon.

I only wee "wins" and "losses" in player profiles. no "ties."

Seems like a tie is just a tie (no tiebreaker). For example, in the standings of this tournament: https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=259340 the half-points must be from tables that ended in a tie, such as this one: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=482510367&nr
