the new chat looks nice, but takes up WAY too much screen real estate. tried playing Jaipur with a newbie today, had to either keep opening/closing the chat window or scrolling up and down to be able to both communicate and see what's happening on the board. is it possible to make it narrower and al...

I don't do this (yet), but often want to - is it ok to play *non-rated* games with yourself, for purposes of 1) figuring out the rules, or 2) attempting to reproduce bugs?

thanks

The original game rules have a bug that makes the game much less fun than it should be - if you have a monster ready but in a lab that's locked by your trail token, you are shafted no matter what you do. Very frustrating. Allow a player to place a token from hand OR from a non-adjacent lab, if one i...

I can never remember how many colors there are for how many players, so having a little graphical aid somewhere on the board would be VERY helpful, especially in cases where one of the colors takes a very long time to come out. "wait, there's orange?" is a bad discovery to make 80% through...

Ability to concede in any time? Cheat people comming :3. what's stopping them from doing it now? yes, it takes a little longer, but not by that much (if the opponent continuously passes or makes short but useless moves, i can probably get more than half of games on this site to 60% in a minute or t...

this is probably a lot of code work, but... the Replay function should support random access - the ability to go forward a move, backward a move, or access any move you like without having to watch the intermediate moves and animations probably the easiest implementation would be: * if auto-play or ...

it's easy to see when you have extra space to play cards but it's impossible to see when you have "negative" space (e.g. you have 10 cards in play but only 9 available slots) since people take FOREVER to play a long chain of cards (i've seen 15-minute turns), I don't bother to watch, and c...
