I'm finding it's taking ten times as long as it used to, and that's on popular games like Catan, Ticket to Ride and (less so) Welcome to My Perfect Home. I normally start my own table, but it's taking so long that I have been trying to join others instead. The problem is, every time I select join, i...

For about a month now I have struggled to get a game of Catan. I don't think my restrictions are particularly severe - I prefer to play with 3 players and around my own level (c300), and reputation 75%+, but recently it's taking ages to get offered a game and even then I'm getting put into 4 player ...

I abandoned Backgammon after the latest update, but thought I'd give it another try tonight. Can't get a game! Used to match within seconds. Has everyone abandoned it? If so, don't BGA see that? Maybe someone needs to swallow their pride and reinstate the original version. I used to love it.

I'm setting up a new group in BGA, for people with 100% reputation and above, called Catan 100 Club. A group for Catan players whose internet never goes down, who never quit, who never take more than their allotted time and who never complain about being 'unfairly' targeted. Complaints about dice ro...

I'm afraid that I do this all the time, because I won't play with anyone that has less than 100% reputation. So many people quit just because they are losing, or take more than their allotted time, and with a long game like Catan that's just so frustrating. I am trying to find other like-minded Cata...

Interesting, why do you feel that way? What problems do you envisage? Chat is the only way to communicate with the people you're playing with for anything beyond just the moves the interface allows. This is important in general for BGA, to do things like ask if other people want to keep playing aft...

I haven't experienced a lot of quitting players but don't you get points either way if someone exits? My thinking here is a little different. I want a way for people to vote to concede (as opposed to abandon where no one is the winner). When it's obvious someone is running away with the game and it...

"Mute the chat is a great idea!" Very very strongly disagree. Just saying that to make sure people here know that the above is not a universal opinion. If mute chat were added as a feature it would need to include the option to have tables where the mute option is disabled, and there woul...

Just had another game spoiled by a moaner who felt picked on by the robber. I already refuse to play with anyone who has less than 100% Karma, because I am fed up with people quitting just because they are losing. If I'm investing half an hour into a game of Catan, then so should the opposition. I ...
