Oh I see - that makes sense, yes.

2. Don't be scared of the queen. I can't tell you how many games I've played where people just dump her the first moment they can. When you "don't" pass the queen this gives you unique knowledge they other players don't have. When you pass the queen half of the players know where she is. ...

They won't. From what I can tell the site is almost just left to it's own devices, there is very little infra support or maintenance. The devs cram as many new games as they can on, but don't fix bugs or look at the overall health of the site. There seems to be little incentive to fix games that som...

I'm not sure what you're saying they need to fix here. You mentioned a bug in cribbage, ufm pointed out that games are maintained by volunteers and suggested you either wait for someone to volunteer or do it yourself. That's how the platform works. If a game is unplayable, pretend it isn't here for...

For example, if you ask Steam Support to fix game bugs, your request will be simply transferred to the respective game studio. If the studio is out of business or has abandoned the game, then the request will fall on deaf ears, obviously. Likewise, if you have issues with Cribbage, you have to deal...

"I have an issue with a paid service" and your answer is "Fix it yourself"? To be fair, you don't pay for the service. You pay for: https://boardgamearena.com/premium Which according to BGA covers... "However, to sustain our operations and ensure fair compensation for game ...
