Board Game Arena

There have been many promo cards released over the years (at least sixty), and some are great. Will they ever be added to the game, or is there a deliberate decision not to include them for balance reasons (though it could be an option)?

There are couple imbalanced cards like Bactoviral Research, Cutting Edge Technology and Orbital Cleanup that is just too broken. I think the best version without rebalanced is just Prelude 1, Colony and Turmoil. We get those in we are golden, we are simply missing Turmoil to open up all the maps.

I don't see why they should not be added. They are nice, they add more cards, busting engines that we all like. Yes, it can bring some imbalance, but there is a simple solution - put promo cards behind the game settings toggle (same like we have for expansions). This way everyone can decide for themselves if they want to play with promo cards or not.

Already, there are way too many setup options that make it really hard to find the games you like. With even more options, one for every promo card, setting up and finding a suitable game would be a nightmare. I advocate, IF promos ever get added, to have an option that includes all promos or none at all.

Oh, I didn't mean to say that 'every promo set' should have dedicated settings toggle. No, one single toggle for promos - and that should enable all available promos for base game and for every enabled expansion (if any).
