Re: BGA yesterday, now and tomorrow

In response to the sale of BGA to Asmodee and the deceptive way the sale was handled I cancelled my premium subscription. It was a year-at-a-time one, and it lapsed this month. I definitely won't be making a new one, especially based on the responses of the previous owners to all of the questions pe...

Re: Is there any way to go from a game description to Play the game?

Nope, there is no way https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18331&p=72517#p72517 https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=20544 This is a big problem with the advert calendar. You open a present, see a button labelled 'Play Now!', only to find out that the button takes you to the gam...

Re: I'm sick and tired of players who run out of time

The penalties need to be increased. I just played with someone who was constantly out of time. Eventually I skipped + quit them to give them a penalty, but it's barely affected them. They have 29 005 games played, are currently in 211 games, and have 43 quit and 245 timeout penalties on 1366 recent ...

Please unify "gamelist" and "lobby"

Currently the website is split into two sections: The 'Play Now' lobby system and the 'Games' gamelist tab. I have no idea why this is, but I find it really awkward to use. e.g. if I go to games section and use the filters there to find a game, watch a video, read the description etc I can't simply ...

Please add 'report bug' to game's menu

Currently, if I want to report a bug about a game I have to: 1. Copy the URL to clipboard 2. Navigate to Community -> Report Bug -> Search for Game -> Press New -> Paste URL 3. I believe each of those steps to be unnecessary friction that prevents people from reporting bugs, assuming they even know ...

Re: Why is Arena Mode 4 players?

On of the reasons I'm glad Kingdom Builder is on BGA is that a huge number of games will be recorded, which means we can have a definitive answer on how strong the first player advantage is in this game, or if it's more of a fourth player disadvantage etc. Up until now it was mostly speculation base...

What are 'hits' on the 'game history' page?

On the game history page of a profile it lists Most Frequent Opponents. It displays them as 'X hits on Y games (Z%)'.

What are 'hits' (X)?
