Banlist for 2 players?
Posted: 18 May 2026, 21:44
With the current Arena Season being 2 players, it seems clear that some characters are just way too good in a 2-player game, goign 2nd and gettign first pick just wins the game beofe even a single placement...
Auctioneer: Double property tile bid
Prospector: buy a mine for 10
There are so increadibly strong feels like their option needs to be removed in at least Arena, and possible as a suggested balancing for other 2-player games.
Have anyone else experieced this, is there any stats to back this up? Rancher with the buy 1 ranch is probabaly also too good.
There just doen't seem to be much counterplay to Prospector, You can't pass before them as they need no actions round 1, they can just pass and then get prospector next round too. Same play patterns with Auctioneer, just take some property tiles to completely mess up your oponents initial placemnet, bid 15 and pay only 7. Since you can't even have taken a character to boost your economy there is nothign you could do. If the action at least ahappned after all placements there would be some counterplay.
