Re: "Switch" variant

It's an officially listed variant on the wikipedia. It makes Crazy 8's a much better game since playing runs and melds gives the player more agency, and makes the picking up of cards less punitive

Re: CLASSIC COLLECTION 2: Games you may already know or not!

Spades, Hearts, Canasta, and a host of other games. I hope they put a little more effort making it possible to create communities on this site. Many of these classic games were driven off other sites by trolls sabotaging game play and rankings. It is great there is so much novelty but these classic...

Re: BGA forcing a new username on me

And, I get it. That is technically the word for a female dog. But it also has other meanings and they seemed like they were uniquely pleased to say it. 100%. Even if the original user had intended it innocently, you have to ban it because you don't want people who wish to use it with bad intentions...

Re: Disconnected from server

It has happened on a few rare occasions, for me it related to my router at home. If you're connected wirelessly, maybe play closer to the router?

Re: Is this rude?

It will most likely be seen as rude, whether or not it's your intention. Of course, even looking it up doesn't answer your question as they could have played a bunch of times, just not here. Maybe, if you want to give them some pointers, you can wait until after the game. Even waiting until after t...

Re: Most complex game in BGA

My point is just that, indeed, here at BGA, the difficulty rating seems to be far less accurate than on BGG. Or at least has to be interpreted in a different way. Honestly I give very little credence to the 'weight' rankings on BGG anyway - part of the problem is that heavy gamers tend to play heav...

Re: Auto translate for forum posts?

Thank you. It's a pity, I spent a while playing State Of Survival, and that had a live translate option for chats which although it was a bit sketchy in places (English-Russian translation seemed very dubious at times) it was at least good enough for people to mock it together which objectively mean...
