Board Game Arena

I've tried to start a TM game a few times and never had a single player join, and I've never seen a game of TM waiting for players. What's up with that?

To be clear, the system used here is not actual ELO. The people who want to switch to ELO are asking for actual ELO, not a switch to BGA's system.

Years ago I saw an article that analyzed thousands of games of Diplomacy based on the opening moves of each country. Turkey wins 5% more often if it moves into the black sea on turn 1 than if it doesn't, etc. I would love to make similar charts and graphs and tables about games on BGA. Is there a wa...

Last april, yahoo took down their card game community games. Before that, I have been playing spades on their site for over 10 years. I was very happy to see hearts on here and that is what made me come here to play to then discover other games. I guarantee that if you guys put up a SPADES game, yo...

I had an idea to make a userscript that does the opposite of this. I don't want to hide clues. I want to show MORE information. So, when a "2" is clued, every other card gets marked "not 2", etc.

I'd also appreciate if someone with a little time and experience could just give me some hints on what the admins are looking for, regarding polish. The games on the site already seem to have a wide variety of levels of UI development. Is Hearts "good enough"?

I've got a simple card game fully implemented, but the UI needs work. I need some CSS and HTML/template development, as well as probably some rearrangement of the JS and event handling. Anyone out there want to join forces?

I don't think the source to other games is available :( I'd be happy to share mine if I could ever get some feedback from the admins on what I need to do to get it publication-worthy. Sadly the admins/devs for the site are very busy and don't have a lot of time to spend on us studio devs. Regarding ...

No, that has nothing to do with the slowness.
