Taking notes is not cheating. There is an embedded notes section provided by the BGA website itself, presumably to be used for ... taking notes. So if you take notes in a memory game like trio, orwhen you simply can't look at the discarded cards like Heat, are you afferming that it's not cheating? ...

If beating your friends is an indication of how good you are at this game, consider yourself doing well for being 150, and not just a flat 100. Online play is filled with players who beat their friends... and are still at the lowest rungs of rated play in casual sites. That's normal. Heat has playe...

Hi, do you think is there a way to cheat at Heat pedal to the metal? It's absurd to see everybody playing perfetcly in any game, even by 150 elo players! When I play live with my friends I end P1 or P2 most of the times, while here it's been two years since I can't reach 200 elo again (while in 2023...

This is a very bad idea because it would influence the game a lot, giving the neighbours of the out player an advantage about red cards, or a huge advantage to the mausoleum, et al.

I was about to ask the same. Almost any game with explicit information on the table shows the real time scoring, even terraforming mars has this option by default in the arena mode.

How can you cheat in agreement with a friend to both level up in a competitive game? You can help each other to get more consecutive or total victories, but elos and arena scores remain about the same.

I remember that coop games had elo but it was removed. I think it's because it's easy to cheat with your friends to get free points for everybody. For the same reason I don't give too much importance to achievements about consecutive victories even in competitive games: what can prevent us to decide...

What is a lobby page? Never heard of it.
Anyway the players joining a table but never confirming the start of the game ara a plague and there's the urgent need for a solution.
It's not that difficult, why don't just add a 20 s limit with auto expulsion after lagging for no reason?

Hi there, I don't know if someone else has already talked about this. By the way, this is the problem that I often encounter: there are some games that I like but it's very difficult to find other partecipants, so I try to open more tables at the same time in order to hope that at least one among th...
