I'd like to request that we be able to see from the lobby whether a Pandemic game is open or closed hands. In other games, we can see those settings listed under the game heading but Pandemic does not show that in the main game lobby page. It only shows game difficulty (i.e. Standard) and Character ...

I'm in a game of Living Forest with someone and they have the "This is my first game/doubled turn time" message but they also have an ELO of 61. How can they have an ELO for a game BGA says they've never played before?

Eventually I'd like to test out new games as a reviewer. I know you need 50 different games and at least 750 plays. Do games that I've played solo count towards that 750 total? When I look at my profile, some of my plays are in parentheses (i.e. for Ark Nova 21 (+47) Games) with the 47 being games p...

When you're playing solo what is considered a winning score? I had 112 and thought maybe over 100 was winning for solo but it registered as another defeat.

When they concede like that and no one gets to an end score of 100, what does that mean for my stats? I'm bummed. I've only just started playing against others (don't even have 100 ELO yet) and someone just conceded a turn-based game we'd been playing for days. I hadn't triggered end game, score was...

Thank you! I have searched everywhere for settings to do that but couldn't find them. But I always join from the game screen itself, not multi-game area. Thanks again!

I am having the same issue. I am bronze /elo 100 and keep playing with platinum plus with elo 300-500+. I don’t expect to do well in the tournament. I just want to have fun. I wish that this would put me up against people with similar ranking/ elo. If you just want to have fun don't play arena, jus...

Just looked at the glossary for the BP sponsor card and it does say "Only the cards that are below the Association Board count as base conservation projects." Thanks for the clarification. Lesson learned.

Yes it was the Rhino. I thought I could use the marker from BP because it says "when supporting a base conservation project" & Species Diversity IS one of the 12 base projects. But you're saying it only applies if that base project is one laid on the board at the beginning of the game?...

I thought that Petting Zoo animals counted as an animal type for the Species Diversity conservation project but I'm not seeing any bug reports so I wonder if I have that wrong. I had Sea Animals, Herbivore, Bird and Petting Zoo animals. Plus I had a token left on my Breeding Program Sponsor card to ...
