Board Game Arena

My primary market strategy is temporarily taking the "dead wood" games' off of Premium to get more people playing them. Then reverting them back to Premium. ... with the consequent outcry of people blaming "greedy BGA" for making the game premium, sudden drop in number of games ...

You have to take your turns in order the action was on you. Maybe you can do the latter, but there's not a huge amount of games I imagine you can do that. BGA does give you games in order of oldest first (I believe), but if you're not late to play on a game, you can skip over it and delay taking yo...

Maybe. I don't know how much flexibility you have, as I don't play turn-based or Arena :D If not managing your turns, you can sometimes manage what you do in the game: concede or rush to game end to finish early, take useless turns to finish late. You have to take your turns in order the action was...

I see; I wasn't taking tournaments into consideration, hence my confusion. The scenario described would be very unlikely in a non-tournament turn-based game. You're right, it would be difficult to prove, though only because it requires subjective analysis. But, based on what you said, that the game...

I had to quit 3 games because of this, or I wouldn't be able to proceed with my other games without using direct URL's ...So annoying, I have 3 penalties now since the server admins are saying there are no issues. It's been like this since the arena update yesterday. there should be a banner up the...

The reason s to reject the dice conspiracy threads here on BGA are "This assertion is not supported by any evidence or facts." and "There is already ample evidence that contradicts the assertion" (i.e. the verifiable fact that BGA uses a known and public documented RNG that has ...

Wait. So, players are out of time because they are not completing the round fast enough? I am confused. I assumed minus 40 hours meant that a move was due 40 hours ago. It's a tournament - so time is fixed and you don't get an increment each time it's your turn. I assume you know how this works (no...

If it is a Friendly game with no time limit, you can quit without penalty.

Are problems with Dark Mode being raised as standard bugs though? There was a closed beta about three weeks ago where I'm assuming a lot of feedback was received. It definitely was not ready for primetime then. Sure, but if I see a problem with dark mode, do I raise it under the game I see it in li...

The main site is ok as you say, but there are problems inside games for sure (Terraforming Mars is a bit of a mess for one). Are problems with Dark Mode being raised as standard bugs though? And then it's up to the game dev to fix them? I know how much work you've put in, and your dark mode is very ...
