Board Game Arena

It's true there's nothing more aggravating that stopping a moon with a high heart and having the queen dumped on you. Sure to earn a red thumb if the dumper wasn't in a bind. But I'll always take 13 points versus 26 points and will hold and eat the queen when required.

Ah, I guess I had this wrong. I was assuming that the Draw offer/acceptance was a global function endemic to BGA as a whole, rather like an object in Objective C or Swift. I gather from your post that it's implemented independently by each game. Thanks.

Thanks all for the replies and suggestions. I'm not interested in taking the time to pursue any more arcane paths to penalizing this player, I'd rather be playing myself.

Not sure why this would be more useful on the Hive forum, it seems a potential problem endemic to two player games in general. I'm suspecting this is not useful on this forum either but there appears to be no other recourse on this site.

What does "count hand scores" do?

Wow The annoying point value box cluttering the board center is gone! As are the drop shadows. Thanks. Highly meaningful to those of us "on the spectrum"!

I think it is a bad idea to add options. I think that adding options tends to make a game less popular by making it harder to find the particular game that you want to play. It can already take a considerable amount of time to find a Hearts game during certain times of day (late at night by U.S. Mo...

Sometimes a person's comment in the chat window is italicized and in blue with some large quote marks to the upper right. What is this about? This occured again in the last game I played and the poster, when asked, knew no reason for it.
