There are also people who don't want this. Not having it should be the default option, with a user preference to turn it on. Many pretty common medical conditions result in unsteady hands, so this comes down to an accessibility issue for me. Not having a useful feature, while also basically putting...

Nothing about the system enforces a 2 day time limit. If you are bothered by losing games on time, only join tournaments with time limits long enough to ensure that that doesn't happen. I don't join anything under 7 days each, except Tash-Kalar which I'll go as low as 3 per player because of the sma...

Good luck!

Well, I can see your perspective here, but I disagree. I think we just have different ideas about what a 'variant' ruleset is. If I can do something on BGA that is prohibited by the games rules (e.g. stall and time people out in Puerto Rico, instead of taking turns in order when requested), or if I ...

Well, as far as I can tell the official stance of the site seems to be 'defend the status quo regardless of whether it makes sense, to avoid doing more work'. They are running an unofficial variant of Puerto Rico too (https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10575) but refuse to...

I will make some game of "hive" but it doesn't seems a game with a lot of possibilitys and freedom of strategy. Hive with tournament opening and all the expansions might be deeper than chess even, and is definitely more complex than checkers. Pieces are never even captured off the board i...

+1 More timing options are badly needed on this site. A faster timer would be nice, a setting where you could just put in your own turn time limit would be great, and seems so obvious that I can't believe it isn't available. Would also like options for other types of timekeeping, such as differentia...

Hello Hive fans, it's that time of year again - time for the annual Official Online Hive World Championship! In addition to the usual first place trophy, this year's tournament will also feature more prizes. Twin packs of codes for Hive on Steam will be given to the top 30 finishers in the Swiss sta...

Yes, some tournament players try to exploit their time, but as Jest Phulin said: Every tournament clearly states how much time is allotted per player for the game. Most games have a fairly narrow range of moves to make. Divide one by the other, and figure out how often a move needs to be made (on av...

I believe that was the wording even in the original rulebook from 2011, but it is vague - which is why Panda objectives were specifically mentioned in the FAQ to remove all doubt. Edit: aren't there also cards in the expansion that have plot requirement in addition to a bamboo requirement? Do I thro...
