This is a common occurrence that has to do with synchronization between the turn-based game server and the main site server. It is usually resolved within an hour when they are synced.

The strobe light analogy has perfectly illustrated the problem with the purported compromise of a confirmation timer. It doesn't really satisfy what either side wants and instead creates a new condition that many people are finding particularly disturbing. As I said before, 5 seconds has a completel...

Maybe the word "misplay" in GTSchemer's response should be "misclick", at least that's how I interpreted it. If you win because of an opponent's misclick that ruins their game and dramatically improves your position, is that really a victory and cause for celebration? If you lose...

This is the exact reason I've been advocating as a developer against countdown timers on confirm buttons on BGA as a default or only option since they started becoming a trend around 2020.

When queuing for an arena game, you should be able to prevent joining a table...

That's exactly what it does.

The Swift Start pack is a promo that was released in late 2019 that contains 10 new bird cards and guides for new players to walk them through their first moves. Once players are familiar with the game, these cards can be shuffled into the deck. All printings of Wingspan after the promo pack was rel...
