Re: Please help

If you go to the game page and select ‘real time’, you will see a bell icon. Just click on it so it’s in the ‘off’ not-ringing position. I tend to turn mine on when looking for live games but agree it can be irritating when in turn mode/mood.

Re: Option to not play against players from certain countries

Honestly, I find something sinister in such requests. On one hand it's low-key virtue signalling about politics, on the other it's xenophobic through it's categorising an entire country (millions of citizens) with one brush, and finally on the (third!) hand it's irrational given country choice is a ...

Re: LLM-Based Players

Pocc, I'm curious how the AI code reads game state from BGA w/o access to underlying game code that drives each move. And could it actually make a valid move as a human would or does a human need to curate the desire of the AI by 'pressing the button' on the BGA site for the opponent?

Re: La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War

A very "Leave the gun, take the cannoli" themed game. Appreciate the publisher, designer, and developers bringing this to BGA. Nice to see some heavies here.

Re: Can we have the board the right side up?

When you have the board in front of you (including in a replay), click on the three grey lines in the upper right corner. The options menu will open and the last entry gives you a choice to play Nixon either upside down or right side up. I too found the upside down Nixon a bit jarring but opinions v...

OriProf (169) vs. Automa (102) https://boardgamearena.com/6/gaiaproject?table=823203507 2nd attempt - hopefully with the right map this time! Took a bit more time before going for PI (my usual) and tried research station instead. Had a few poor choices of booster tiles but made up for it in the end....

Re: #28 Solo Challenge [March 2026]

OriProf (146) vs. Automa (108) https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=820159973 Early PI and focus on Gaia and Navigation. Probably should have done more on research but sourced good size power token bank to build large federations and lead on tokens. Nice to see the solo challenge return - apprecia...

Thanks a lot for looking into that - indeed it seems it may be the same prestige bug.

Prestige play with Improved Logistics - misunderstanding or bug?

Would someone be able to explain how I managed to receive two prestige in the sequence below. I had Improved Logistics in the tableau and played Information Hub for one prestige (Move 287). But subsequent to another player conquering a world, I gained a further prestige, which seems unwarranted. Wou...
