Re: So when are we fixing ELO????

This has been mentioned on here for ages. The other big one is the game log showing every trick played which causes some players to slow down play so they can read the log and know what is safe to play. It is quite evident that BGA has no intention to ever change this. I hate saying it because I rea...

Re: Many bugs found

Face down dome tile does not always display what is on other side. Back side in draw pile will show the multi color for a joker plate, but then the tile will be a special plate
