In ranked PvP games, players are not going to let you just walk away from a game you're losing. In ranked PvE games, enemies are not going to let you just walk away from a game you're losing. This is really a byproduct of all ranked, all the time, which is how BGA defaults. There is training mode bu...

Hi, I have a very long ban list, mostly from co-op games, mostly Hanabi but not only. As I'm banning, I'm realizing that I'd love to play against those people in a competitive game, and there's no need for a ban from a co-op game to carry over there. With that in mind, a couple of suggestions: 1. Ca...

Given the games I've played, I find it hard to believe all 550 cards are actually in the game, or that the randomization algorithm is working correctly. Maybe just really bad luck. Today was better, maybe they fixed something or it's just luck.

I'm seeing way too many repeats. It's definitely possible with the randomization, but it's extremely unlikely. The physical game has 110 cards, with 5 options each. That makes 550 words possible. I should not be seeing the same word every 2-3 games, sometimes back to back. That's just extremely unli...

This seems like a great way to get yourself some negative karma for false reporting since they didn’t actually abandon the game. If you offer a bribe and they refuse, should the consequences for you be lesser than if it were accepted? Also, whoever was suggesting groups should probably inform those...

I already enjoy the "no abandon" Hanabi group. It's called instantly denying abandon requests, asking why they want to abandon, and insisting on a sensical answer because "we can't finish" and "it's ruined" isn't. The game is obviously still going on, and definitely isn...

Is it possible to have a refresh rate for the game lobby list? If I have several games expanded, sometimes they move up/down rapidly if people are opening and closing lobbies for games above. The list of games moving up and down constantly is visually annoying and it even causes misclicks (something...

Sounds great. Like I said, my experience is that your attitude is more the exception to the rule that if you refuse to abandon, you'll receive red thumbs. I wouldn't be surprised if you receive green thumbs for abandoning as well, but I'll never know. How good you are at playing the game must be irr...

I don't care that much, because playing Hanabi has really shown me how useless the "thumbs" system is, and I have a feeling nothing will change, but I guess I care enough to spend the time to start this thread about it. If you disagree to abandon games in Hanabi, you will receive red thumb...

The best thing to do is to ask yourself why you want to increase a number which has no meaning.
