Re: red thumb for renegade

If those opponents can't grasp how your play is correct play, then you don't want to play any more with them, anyway.

The renegade who deserves a red thumb is the one who shoots a weakened sheriff, hastening the sheriff's demise.

Sick and tired of Kingmaking plays :(

I am getting fed up with playing a game, for example, Puerto Rico, and having the person in last place near the end, realises he can't win, and will make a play that doesn't benefit him, but has the sole result of knocking me out of first place and moving the player who was in second place into the ...

Adding variants to Hearts

I would like to request that some common variants of hearts be added. Firstly, I would like to request that common house rule be added, That playing the Queen of Spades ♠ breaks hearts, and hearts can be led thereafter.

Re: No quit, only concede

Occasionally, an emergency will come up and I must leave a game in progress. I will propose to abandon the game collectively. I tell them in chat that I have no choice but to leave. Usually the others are understanding and agree to abandon. Sometimes one player will decide that I need to be punished...

We need to have Table Presentation more prominent

One source of frustration to me is when players join my table and choose to ignore what I have written in my table presentation sentence. For example, I saw in the game of Stone Age, one player put as his table presentation, 'No starvation strategies, please' . There may be other persons not wanting...

Re: Metagaming - one way to reduce it

Well, the same way I can conceal my birthday on Facebook, I would like to conceal my ELO on BGA...and if that annoys ELO point-gamers, then there is certainly no love lost on my end. I would prefer to have the right to be able to not play with persons who play for ELO point-gaming.

Another newbie decides to close his window rather than finish the game

Myself and two colleagues just became victims again of some newcomer who started a game, and rather than complete it, ask for help, or in any way chat at all, simply disconnected or closed his window rather than bother to finish the game. What makes it particularly annoying is that the rest of us ha...
