Re: I could make my personal record, but my opponent concede victory :( So frustrating

The score doesn't have to be high in order for it to be a personal record. I could set a PR for my 5K and be really happy about it even if it is 6 minutes slower than the world record. Wow, you're fast! :) Yeah, it's for reasons like these that I do not concede games. If my opponent is having an al...

Re: Using AI to review and learn from your BGA Wingspan games

Perhaps I missed it somewhere, but what makes Claude qualified to provide coaching in Wingspan? What makes it an expert? Why are the results to be trusted? Fair question because you are right Claude alone is not that good. If you would now paste your game log in claude or chatgpt it wouldn't tell s...

Re: wingspan unplayable on my phone

I’m not sure what changed, but the interface no longer lets me zoom in so I can see the itty bitty cards, nor does it let me flip the view. Is anyone else having this issue? I play on my phone mostly, and this makes b.g.g. not worth it for me. :| I’ve made a bug report https://boardgamearena.com/bu...

Re: Games that work best on Mobile

Wingspan used to work fine on mobile (I wouldn't say well — there's a lot going on and thus a lot of zooming in and out required). A recent change, circa mid-July, seems to have broken this by causing the game to crash whenever zoomed in too much. I've submitted a bug report about this: https://boar...

Re: Premium players getting advantage on numbers

Catan, of course; it's always Catan Ha! I almost made the exact same comment on one of the other recent instances. I do enjoy the double top secret premium dice feature however. My 100 ELO in Yahtzee proves it. I've had to stop playing Catan, IRL or online. Just too rage inducing for my own good :)

Re: Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game

I am not pleased to be the only one bringing this up here on BGA. Supporting TM or FryxGames in general means supporting people that are actively promoting the usage of generative AI by selling their latest TM themed game which is illustrated by using AI art.. AND are okay with sharing hateful/prob...

Re: Keep AI Away From BGA

Things to not do AI slop - financially funding and partnering games with generated assets instead of artists. I can imagine some scammer putting some game together without any real design at any level and then trying to partner with the site. You gotta be discerning on who you work with. This this ...

Re: Can a Bad Card Still Be Great?

Beautifully written! I had the experience once of an in-person game where the cursed visionary leader was drawn mid-game and somehow dovetailed with an all-wetlands strategy that maxed it out at the end, resulting in victory. It was a lot of fun! I also enjoyed the name of the card and liked picking...
