Board Game Arena

I've noticed that most players seem to prefer two player games. Any reason why?.

Just guessing:

1. much easier
2. quicker to get a game

As you can probably tell by your lack of replies, BB isn't a frequented game anymore (that doesn't mean it is a bad game) but because of lack of people, most players on the public circuit will only expect to find one extra player. Also, this game gets harder with more players and is exceptionally hard for newcomers at 4.

To be fair, BB does have a playerbase, and you don't really have to wait a lot to get matches (at worst, it only takes 5 minutes to find another player).

Personally, I sometimes find games of 3 players, but I prefer 2 player games because it's less chaotic that way. While I do like a challenge, I don't like getting caught by the guard only because you can't really spread yourself out until you (or they) find the staircase.
