Is this game being fixed at all?

I notice that all bug-fixes that have occurred for this game are more than 3 years old, and there are dozens of Open bugs have been filed since then. Is there someone in charge of the game still, who can fix bugs? There's a fairly large bug that has been shared in different forms (points for doing s...

Poorly worded scoring regarding churches and churches-as-buildings

1. Note that the way scoring is explained in the episode guide, we should get +4 points for "4 different buildings adjacent to a well," whilst we should get +3 points for "3 different building types adjacent to each church." HOWEVER, if a certain church is adjacent to a striped b...

Re: REGULAR Reversi season

At the VERY least, the Reversi page should not still have on it that "Last Season" Reversed Reversi was disabled and "This Season" it is enabled. It's very confusing. Some (at least) other games show the correct options each season. I understand that this might be a @BGA issue an...

Previous seasons' results - all games

Is it possible to see a previous season's results for all games? For instance, when I click "PLAY NOW," I can see my status in all current games; that is, I see my rankings in every game (Backgammon, Cribbage, Hey That's My Fish, etc.). However, I can't seem to find a way to see all of my ...

REGULAR Reversi season

I played so many games of Reversi last year that I was on the [whatever you call that small group that can approve changes to the game], and certainly *I* never wanted a season of Reversed Reversi. And if this is not the correct formum for this request, could someone let me know? It's been a few sea...

Tie Break???

I just "lost" game by tying my opponent 6 Books to 6 Books. The rules do not mention a tie-breaking condition. Rather, if a player empties her hand, that is a trigger for the end of the game, and, quite explicitly, the rules state "The player with the most Books wins." Keep in mi...

Re: problems with firefox

I have had problems with any BGA page and Firefox since 3/18/25. Not sure why this should be. I've cleared cache, deleted cookies, restarted the computer – nothing seems to fix it. And let me tell you, BGA is UGLY in Safari. Meh.

Re: Pentaquest in now in Alpha!

I'm not sure I understand this game as a 2-player game. As long as we both can get a card each round, we don't lose and always tie? I've played several 2-player games, and they all end in a 21-21 tie, since used cards don't get subtracted. Am I missing something, or is the 2-player version of this g...

Re: Latest update

Nice job with the doubling cube and the UNDO button, but I have one reflection with doubling, that the player who is 1 away to the score can't double after crawford game. Why should they want to? I think tetrisz meant that the BGA implementation allows you to double even if you are only 1 point awa...

Reversi grid headings

For Reversi, I often help players with lower rankings than I, but sometimes it is a hassle when the columns are not labeled A–H and the rows are not labeled 1–8. Could those be added to the graphics of the game?
