Thanks, in a way that's reassuring that I'm not the only one. I have only heard anecdotally from a few players that think it has slowed down recently but not crashing for them.
Seeing as there was little in the forum, still thought that perhaps it could be my phone.

Is anyone else having difficulties loading the lobby whilst using chrome on an android mobile? For the last few days it has been hit and miss whether the screen freezes and crashes. When this happens I can't use back button nor open new tab, I have to close chrome, reload the chrome app and quickly ...

IMHO I would love to see an abandonment rate (games completed versus started) added to the accept start page of a game. This would mitigate some of the frustration Hanabi (and perhaps other coop games) players feel when someone throws a tantrum over a mistake and tries to force everyone to quit agai...

Exactly Yulia, it's like the fable of Peter and the Wolf. If they decry abandon everytime, when there is a genuine emergency we believe their urgency to leave is fake. When I have had to suddenly leave a game either emergency or someone in the real world needs me I usually don't have time to explain...

Would it be possible in table settings to limit joiners to just manual only please. Too many occasions result in players automatically joining who don't want to play. Then as table is full it triggers the game start page, which stays in suspended animation as they don't realise they've joined so you...

Agreed! They also go on about it being their right to quit and being held against their will to play... even though they could quit rather than abandon and take that karma elo hit. I try alas in vain to get them to read the game text telling them it says victory, to read the rules to see only 3 bomb...

Is anyone else stuck in limbo? We have a Hanabi game that was going on during the blip (https://boardgamearena.com/4/hanabi?table=180520481), and it is still ongoing an hourish later but can't get into the game to stop it or continue it. As the game is ongoing we can't join or start another real tim...

I would be interested to hear the actual verdict from the game's author on this question as I kind of feel the game is supposed to be based 100% on non-verbal communication and thus a player makes the decision to call the game done independently without any debate. We can each hold our own opinion o...

I agree with the poster who mentioned how panda objectives have become even more favourable as they are so much easier to fulfil than orchestrating that the gardener be in the correct place when it comes to your turn, or to irrigating/improving a plot - esp when that plot may suddenly turn into a ty...

I tend to call them flams for exactly the same reason, laziness
