A suggestion:
There is no reason Ubongo games in arena mode should ever use the "DEMO" grid set. If you're trying to keep arena competitive, all arena seasons should use the full grid. The more diverse the puzzles, the better.

Seems that the first season always uses the default "recommended" lobby options and then each future season is decided by majority vote between the gurus. Become a guru and vote for your favourite format!

I couldn't agree more. Also, the random scoring is terrible. At this table, https://boardgamearena.com/13/ubongo?table=752309087 I beat the other 6 to 3, but they won with 45 over 42 points from luck of the draw.

Becoming a guru involves actively playing with these terrible default rules, right? Or could one also become a guru by playing simple games?
