I was happily going to log onto and play on one of the other platforms I use, which we are forbidden to even mention, when I had regrets about the great offer that BGA has here. But then I remembered that it's only true if you do not seek Real-Time games... I then remembered I had tried to do someth...

Now, not wikipedia, here: Jamais deux sans trois: https://www.europe1.fr/societe/pourquoi-dit-on-jamais-deux-sans-trois-3996874 Supporting Nullzone's comment. And what about, I hear you say: "...

Le roi est mort, vive le roi! This is not a criticism, it is meant as an opportunity for change (this is a historical reference, for the unawares: https://www.unifr.ch/alma-georges/articles/2019/le-roi-est-mort-vive-le-roi#:~:text=Le%20vieux%20proverbe%3A%20%C2%ABLe%20roi,la%20mort%20d'un%20monarque...

Hey nik592, thanks for your answer. I think you are assuming a lot of inaptitude (as in "not capable to..") on behalf of BGA's leadership. I say: "Gimme the keys to the car and we'll drive it to Botswana if we want to!" Different perspectives, I prefer mine. BGA can act to improv...

I wish this weren't about me, and it's not! There's at least you! If I'm not choosing super popular games (Azul, TTR, Carcassone, etc.) and/or have lots of time to sit around and wait, that's about what I expect to happen. It'd be great if people who want to play the same games as me were online at ...

what would be nice is if a player can title their game with a short limited "title" or "summary" You got that done! Into "Play Now" (until they withdraw it) you have the (no presentation yet) [modify] thingy-dingy that allows you to do exactly that; look under the game...

Thank you all for the ideas! OP doesn't want this to be about OP, but I did start the thread circumscribing its scope to real-time playing. In that, I have found that there is a disproportion of games being "played now" in real-time, probably at any given time, favouring a limited amount o...

I already told you. The matchmaking system for RT (and for TB) is pretty simple. As soon as enough players for a game are requesting said game at the same time, the players get matched and the game starts. And yes, that means for unpopular games that just no one is there when no game starts. That s...

i don't agree with your conclusion : The data only shows that at any given moment about two-thirds of all available games aren't played. That doesn't mean that they are never played. [...] Personnally i only play TB games and it happens regularly that tables need hours or even days to be started or...

I've finished my samples of RT, times for EST (Eastern provinces of Canada): # tables 10/5/2023 @ 8h28 11/5/2023 @ 14h53 12/05/2023 @ 5h55 12/05/2023 @ 16h18 13/05/2023 @ 8:48 > 100 tables 4 5 2 5 4 > 50 tables 6 5 3 6 6 > 25 tables 13 19 8 18 9 > 10 tables 24 26 22 28 30 > 5 tables 33 32 22 40 27 >...
