So, I was grinding the Pandaria game board earlier this week, and it finally hit me like ton of cardbacks: these game boards are like 99.9999% RNG! The three watermelons are always there at the start, but there doesn’t seem to be any skill involved to being able to squash them and get them to grow up all boots, or the elusive golden turnip. And don’t even get me started on the teleporter on the GvG game board!! The pros all like to mess with the levers, but it too is just a slave to RNGsus!
I don’t know if I want to spend anymore time or money on this game. There are so many other great game boards out there like the BRIO wooden labyrinths that have ZERO RNG and are all just about your own skill.
Ugh! I don’t even think there’s a standard order to which teams show up on the new Rastakan’s Rumble game board when you tap the button in the middle of the roof in the top right corner. Yet ANOTHER expansion where we can’t expect skill to play a role!
I only play on my phone. Can't really see it or interact with it anyway on a phone.
I'm not playing or choosing to not play HS because of their game boards. If the game ever gets too much RNG, then I'll consider spending time elsewhere and it's pretty darn close. Do a search in your HS card collection for the word "random". See how many cards are out there.

And somewhat worse than RNG, some game boards have just no replay value. Take the Stormwind board for example (the normal, not the Old Gods one). You can break a bunch of things (boxes, sign, windows, well, ...), but then they stay broken and you can't do anything with them. Sure there's still the clock that moves (sloooowly), the bell that can ring and you can open/shut the door, but that's so ridiculous, it becomes boring after like 5 seconds ! All that's left is the Griffin, and even that is not really entertaining. What am I supposed to do, play with the griffin during the 10+ min I'm roping my opponent because I don't like his deck ? Come on Blizzard, give us some more interesting boards !
The OTK game board (Un’Goro) is just so broken! Talk about “fun and interactive”! I know that my opponent just has to tap a drum, a leaf, a shell, and then two more leaves and there’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN DO!! On his screen, he is seeing the volcano erupt all over the place. Great job, Blizzard!

Yeah and to make matters worse my opponent can cast Volcano while erupting their volcano for a double eruption!!! I can't believe blizzard would ever let it get this far

No RNG happens.
I need to try this. This isn't netdecking, is this ?

Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!

Net...boarding?
And I don’t understand why people complain about netboarding. After a new game board has been out for a few weeks, the community has figured out which bits should be fiddled with and in which order. I don’t have the time or money to try to come up with my own ways to fiddle with these game boards! So it makes the most sense for me to have somebody else tell me how to play with these little fiddly things.
DUUUUDE i feel your frustration!! I wanted to play on the pandaren board but i only got frozen throne 5 times in a row! 5 TIMES IN A ROW!! This game is rigggged!! REEEEEE!
We need more board features like the laser/rocket combo in GvG. No RNG and it's only limited by skill cap. I've practiced it about 100 times in casual (I didn't want to risk failing in a ranked match), and I'm proud to say I can now pull it off over 95% of the time.
It seems to me like the developers are running out of ideas for new game board mechanics. The Frozen Throne game board had two elements that required a long press (the chain to open the door and resetting the ice sculpture), but that mechanic was first introduced back in the Naxxramus board. And now Rastakan's Rumble has the secret sequence to give the idol golden teeth, but is that really all that different from the sequence to make the volcano erupt in the Un'Goro board?
Now that Ben Brode is gone, I don't see this game lasting all that much longer, as you can already see the creativity hitting a hard wall.
Is the golden turnip in the teleporter rare cause I got a screenshot of it cause it looked odd
Sounds like you are meme-boarding there. That's fine for later in a release cycle when things start to get stale. Also, the GvG board is a Wild board, and I don't know why they allow or encourage fiddling with Wild boards at all! Almost no one fiddles with them anymore!

Wait how do you give the idol golden teeth? I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS.

Well, I don't know about giving the idol golden teeth, but yesterday when I clicked green mask-->gate-->drum-->red mask-->tooth-->tooth-->green mask-->tusk-->spear-->drum-->purple mask Anduin came riding out on a unicorn. I tried to repeat the sequence today and it didn't work. My theory is that you determine the sequence based on a cypher related to the day's date, but I haven't been able to crack it yet. I'll keep y'all posted.

100% Win-Rate Top-Legend Gold Teeth Sequence:
1: Tap on teeth repeatedly until they no longer come back
2: Tap on the golden part of the head of the statue

Confirmed. It's actually an algo based upon UNIX time (number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970).
Timing very important. Can't disclose full details due to NDA with Blizzard but happy to give you guys a pointer to getting those Unicorns!!!

HS community you have something to learn here.
Keep it up PneumaPilot
There's a game board? JK

You know this thread is a joke right?
Yeah, I totally agree !

Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
