The KoT bug issue was the worst bug I have known on BGA. It's hopefully fixed now but I do wish there was a way of drawing mod attention to a bad bug that was quicker than the current reporting system.

On it's own that isn't the biggest issue. But with most Catan games taking about an hour it can definitely start to feel like you are wasting your time with no moves to play. And of course you can't just quit (without a penalty) nor can you be AFK because you have to deal with every trade offer mad...

It feels laborious to explain this every time, so until now I have chosen to not do it. Do not do it, there is no way to avoid this causing offence sooner or later and getting you reported. You are playing a competitive game with strangers and anything that even resembles 'trash talk' is a bad idea...

Resurrecting this to mention a great combination I've just had: Wickedness tiles: Final Roar (if eliminated over 16 you win) and Sonic Boomer (add 1 VP per turn) Costume Cards: Robot (you can choose to lose energy instead of heart) and I purchased Ghost (If you lose at least one heart gain one).

This has nothing to do with "real time play". This has to do with treating people with respect. BGA message said, "a player is not playing, push this button to end the game with no penalty". Obviously there was something wrong on BBA end as there was an ignorant message that sur...

Sometimes on King of Tokyo I will encourage another player to smack or let another player into tokyo so that I can smack them next turn etc - and I see that happening a lot in that game. Particularly as some people's tactics seem to be never to smack, which really throws the whole game off. I see th...

I have also canceled my membership. I wish there was more we could do. This non-response is disgraceful. I have no desire to play with Russian players. I have seen them say terrible things about the war in chat and decided I am done. The fact that we are penalized for that is ridiculous. Their coun...

Great advice there from SIlene. Out of their advice, I'd strongly suggest that you always play turn-based. It is really frustrating for the other players to have somebody just disappear out of a game. A lot of players will only okay with players with good reputation, so if you switch to turn based y...

"needlessly aggressive play" When I started out in Carcassone, I hated it when players blocked me from completing my cities, jumped in on my cities, etc. I found it very rude and I'd choose not to play with them again. Then I got better at it, and now I also do those things ;) Now when som...
