Board Game Arena

So far, I have only played one four player game. Can team mates be paired manually or are they always assigned at random order?
And I get the impression that it’s hard to see what team you are in, at least on iPad. Or am I missing something?

Otherwise it is a great game en it is implemented very well. I’m very lucky my son likes it as well. We like it so much, I already bought the base boardgame and two expansions. And the other expansions are on the way…

Team mates can be paired manually.

Could you tell me how it is done?
It seems I can only add/select friends to the table, but don’t know how to assign them to a specific team/pair.
Thanks in advance!

create a game with 1st 2nd paired and your friend joins in second place.

I still don’t get what you mean here. How do I pair first and second player? It seems to me the players aren’t paired based on the order you select them in game creation. Are you saying they are?
If not, could you supply some sort of screen shot for how to achieve this pairing?

Thanks for the trouble!

something like this:



and you both pick first two places after creating the game.

I overlooked that option before. Obviously it appears after you select 4 players. That solves my problem indeed.
