Board Game Arena

It feels like its been way harder to get games than in the past. Is there somewhere that has stats for that?

Population this season feels normal. Did you go from premium to non-premium? That will cause it to take longer since you can't host games.

As for a stats page, there is one:

Current season has 86k games played. Last season had 113k. Still 25 days left, so plenty of time to catch up.

I could see a few skipping it because they don't like random map, but I would still imagine it's quite similar to last season. Couple more unique players last season than this one (6887 vs 6318), which probably won't change that much in the next 3½ weeks
