Re: This game really needs a confirm/undo feature at end of turn

I don't understand. Every time you play you need to first select a card to play, select the cards you want to use to pay, they become grey and then select "play card button". Every time you play you can check what you just did before validate, why would you need a confirm button? To confi...

Re: Can we search games by designer?

Bga will have to look into having more ways to categorize games eventually. I think there’s like 10 new games in beta since I’ve last looked. They will be at the 1000 mark before you know it. Before getting into things like sorting by game designer being able to sort by game stats like luck factor ...

Re: What is the reason for giving points to translator, but not to a person who corrects misstranslation?

While this system made some sense before the alpha and beta stages, now it doesn't make much sense anymore. I regularly encounter games with bad translations (by the one doing the implementation). Those can't be corrected while in that early stage. But games stay in alpha for a long time, so those ...

Re: What is the reason for giving points to translator, but not to a person who corrects misstranslation?

Do I understand correctly that if somebody misstranslated and nobody changed it for 60 days, misstranslator gets the point and no one else can gain any more points? Yes, but it's only 30 days. Or if after 60 days he is corrected, his point remains Yes. Once someone gets the gift point (after 30 day...

Re: What is the reason for giving points to translator, but not to a person who corrects misstranslation?

I think you misunderstand how gift points for translations are earned. Please check the translation rules: https://boardgamearena.com/faq?anchor=faq_translations If you translate a text and this translation isn't changed for 30 days, the translation is considered 'validated' and you get 1 gift point...

Re: Game suggestions for 7 players

You might filter all games for those fitting for 7 players: https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?players=7 You already know 7 Wonders Architects. Cosmos Empires is another light engine builder. If you are looking for interactive games you might try Bang, No thanks, Saboteur or Room 25. If you also li...

Re: Finding out which explorer is ahead on the exploration track.

To me (and I'm pretty sure to most people), the branches start after the fork in the path and they end once they join into one path again. A single unsplit path is not a branch. Thanks for your clarification (I had previously misinterpreted your definition of "branches"). Now I do agree w...

Re: Real time game speeds

Same for me :lol: Thank you two for clarifying!

Re: Allow people to make Tutorials for games in Alpha

I'd like to give a 3. reason: In alpha games the user interface is always in English, which can be very confusing when the tutorial is later translated into other languages. Even in the current system (using beta games) the interface or parts of it may still be in English, which is a handicap for no...
