Changes to Hearts interface are very unpleasant

I enjoyed playing Hearts... until today. The new interface is ugly and awkward. It is not as easy to use as the previous one, but for me it is more the aesthetics - basically, I liked playing the game before and now I do not. If there is any way to put an option to allow the previous user interface,...

Re: ShyChat: No more shy when playing on BGA thanks to OpenAI

I hope there is a mute option. I don't mind a greeting or two at the beginning of a game, but for the most part I prefer opponents who are silent and want to play more than talk. So I don't want my chat box filled with some player's AI making ongoing commentary.

Re: Cubirds: Hold the line!

A game about birds isn't exactly a novel idea - not with Wingspan already out in circulation...

That said, I will give this game a try - several people seem to like it, so maybe I will as well. There can be more than one good game about a theme, after all!

Re: Soon...

Maybe it is a trick question? Maybe it finally IS 7 Wonders... and they're just trying to be clever.

That would be, ahem, wonderful...

Re: Why are people giving thumbs down when beaten!

I think red thumbs provide valuable information -- if I don't enjoy playing with someone, for whatever reason, it's good to have some option way to keep track. Sometimes a player is very slow -- not slow enough to get time penalties, but too slow for my tastes. Sometimes a player simply plays by a s...

Re: Introducing: prestige and tournaments

If I understand clocks, 21:00 CET is about 3:00 EDT (or 12:00 PDT) for us in the United States. Is there any chance a similar tournament could be created for, say, 22:00 EDT or something similar?

Or, better yet, will it be possible for players to create their own tournaments?

Re: A new architecture for BGA

I'm on Safari 4.1.3, and it's difficult to play. I need to refresh nearly every time an event happens, which makes some events tricky (in Dominion, I can't figure out which card is destroyed by Swindler, for example). It is also pretty much impossible to post a message, because I cannot get it witho...

Re: China gold: make just changed markers persistent

This is my chief complaint with the game... you have to pay close attention during their turn, because if you miss the change, you will never know what they did. Maybe a button to click that highlights the previous player's move?
