acknowledged: Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it

What happened? Please select from below
Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
The 6 gold die face is ridiculously overpowered in 2 player games and needs to be removed from the rotation. The game is pretty much over if someone gets it on their first turn and doesn't horribly misplay afterwards.
At the very least, an option needs to be provided to remove it (and it should be enabled for Arena games).• Which browser are you using?

I'm sorry, but this is wrong forum for this suggestion, unless this is an official variant.
Jul 6th 2021 22:57 • KongKing123 • This suggestion has not been analyzed by the developers yet:
It is not the wrong forum and also doesn't need to be an official variant to be implemented.
As I said: BGA was open to the idea.

How about using newly added 'game guru' BGA feature then? If the suggestion gets enough votes then it might be implemented.

BGA was open to idea, if the publisher agrees and it becomes an official variant. BGA doesn't implement house rules.
Jul 7th 2021 17:32 • KongKing123 • This suggestion has not been analyzed by the developers yet:
It does not need to be an "official variant", since it does not alter existing die faces or rules, it simply removes one unbalanced face from a specific setup. The publisher just needs to agree to this.
Tzolk'in has an "Uxmal corn limit" rule option implemented purely on BGA. This is the same thing.
@ufm: indeed, the Game Guru system could take up this suggestion further.

Hi
It has been discussed with the publisher, they are afraid that this is wished only by part of the population of players, and others won't be happy.
In order to vote for the change, i have created a new proposal of arena format in the Guru section. Like this, Gurus (that are people that can influence arena format) can vote for it.
I posted something on the wall of the gurus, and for the moment the format has 0 vote.
The publisher asked for this specifically, so in the mean time I will close this suggestion.

Thank you for following up on this.
Sadly I am not a Guru, but if it were just made an option at table setup that defaults to "include 6 gold face" for Simple games but is set to "exclude 6 gold face" for Arena, I don't see how any player could be upset by this.
It would affect only Arena players, who play for the competitive aspect and desire a balanced game.

Any news on this? I can't even count the number of games this face has ruined anymore.

Hi,
Sorry, with the Gurus input, publisher agreed. It will be rolled on next arena season.
