so far ive played 30 star challenges and it seems to me the software is much better. i dont seem to see the wild and crazy and stupid bidding i have seen before. of course im not sure if this is right.
maybe ive just been lucky. does anyone know is there is a change?

change compared to what?

Did you see wild, crazy and stupid bidding in star challenges before, or what are you comparing with?

quite literally on the new softward you can select star challenge under challenges. you play an 8 board robot match and then are matched against a star player. really pretty cool

OK, I was confused sorry.

The robots are the same, actually they are basic in the free star challenges, unless you pay 25 cents to upgrade to advanced.

I've been playing star challenges and find the human opponents more consistent than those in arena challenges. In fact, I've never had a Star fail to finish a round. Because the results always return immediately, it seems these challenges must always be initiated, and completed, by a Star before being offered to us mortals.

My question - which I'm sure a star could answer - when star initiates a Star Challenge is that challenge played by only one human opponent or by multiple humans?
