Board Game Arena

For some reason a 3p suggestion currently has more votes on the guru page even though it is obviously a less competitive mode. But thats not even the main problem: After they turned Dewan premium a couple days ago I've been sitting in queue for 30-60 minutes during peak EU times (19:00-23:00) which will get far worse if it gets switched to 3p. I've seen arena die in other games because of this and it would be a shame to see this game lose it's momentum so early on.

I actually like it better with 3 players than only 2. But I agree that it is more competitive (and cutthroat) with 2. And I don't believe 3p will kill Arena

Competitively speaking FFA is kind of a joke in Dewan. The game has way too many directly crucial placements. No matter how good you are it really doesn't take much for a player to totally ruin your game with nothing you can do to prevent it. It doesn't matter if they are strong or weak, trying to play passive or agressive, bitter/jealous/teaming or good-willing, it can and will happen in countless ways. I totally understand that FFA brings new dynamics and just a generally different feeling, but arena is kinda supposed to be the competitive mode and there are already FFA tournaments for those who really wish to compete in it (and of course you can play more than enough regular FFA games).
