Helper for Board Game Arena games: stats and odds from what's already on the table. Unofficial helper for Board Game Arena. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Board Game Arena. Board Game Arena (BGA) Helper adds a small overlay to your BGA games with live statistics and odds, worked out from what's already on the table. It does the counting and the maths so you can focus on your decisions. Supported games: Flip 7, Flip 7: With A Vengeance, Splendor, Splendor Duel and Can't Stop. More games are on the way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FAIR PLAY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is a helper, not a cheat. It only shows what every player at the table already knows or could work out: • It only uses public information. • It never shows hidden information. • Everything it shows is arithmetic on that public information. With a pen, paper and enough patience, you could keep the same numbers yourself. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FLIP 7 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Draw pile tracker Shows how many of each card are left in the draw pile and your chance of drawing each one next. • Your bust chance The chance that the next card busts you, in the panel and right under the Hit button. The cards you already hold are highlighted in red in the table, so you can see where the danger comes from. If you hold a Second Chance, it tells you that you're protected. • Everyone's bust chance Every player's chance of busting if they hit now, worked out from the cards in front of them. Players who busted or stayed are marked. • Flip Three odds When you're about to give a Flip Three, each player's chance of busting from it appears under their name button, so you can pick your target. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FLIP 7: WITH A VENGEANCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Draw pile tracker How many of each card are left in the draw pile, including The Zero, the Lucky 13, the Unlucky 7, the new modifiers and the action cards, and your chance of drawing each one next. • Your bust chance The chance that the next card busts you, in the panel and under the Hit button, following the special cards' rules: with the Lucky 13 a second 13 is safe, and the Unlucky 7 never busts you. • Everyone's bust chance Every player's chance of busting if they hit now, so you know who to target with Steal, Swap, Discard or Just One More! • Flip Four and Just One More odds When one of them is waiting for a target, each player's chance of busting from it appears in the panel and under their name button. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SPLENDOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Opponents' reserved cards When an opponent reserves a card from the face-up market, everyone sees which card it is, but the game then turns it face-down. The helper remembers it for you and shows each opponent's reserved cards with their colour, level, points and cost. Cards reserved blind from a deck are only counted, never revealed. • Next card from each pile For each face-down pile, shows how many cards are left and the chance that the next card dealt is each colour. The same odds appear as small tags beside each pile on the board. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SPLENDOR DUEL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Your opponent's reserved cards When your opponent reserves a card from the pyramid, everyone sees which card it is. The helper remembers it and shows it with its cost, even after a page refresh. Cards reserved blind from a deck are only counted, never revealed. • Next card from each pile For each face-down pile, shows how many cards are left, the chance that the next card is each colour (including jokers and colourless cards) and the chance it has a crown. The same odds appear as small tags beside each pile on the board, and you can open the list of cards that could still come out. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CAN'T STOP ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Your bust chance The exact chance that the next roll busts, worked out over every possible roll of the four dice and the columns you can still climb. It's shown for whoever's turn it is, so you can follow your opponent's risk too. • What a bust would cost How far each of the three climbers has gone up this turn, per column and in total: everything you'd lose if the next roll busts. • Compare your moves Beside each of the game's move buttons, the chance that the roll after that move busts, so you can see which choice keeps you safer. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The extension collects no data and sends nothing anywhere. It only runs on boardgamearena.com, and everything it saves stays in your own browser: your settings (which games it's turned on for, and panel positions) and, for Splendor Duel, which cards it saw reserved at each table, so a page refresh doesn't forget them. Those are deleted automatically after 7 days. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW TO USE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Install the extension. 2. Open a Flip 7, Flip 7: With A Vengeance, Splendor, Splendor Duel or Can't Stop table on Board Game Arena. 3. The helper starts automatically. Its panel opens in the top-left corner; drag it anywhere, or click – to minimize it. The helper hides itself when the game ends. Click the extension icon in the toolbar to turn the helper on or off for each game, or to move the panels back to their starting position.
