Re: the website says it is my turn at a table where it is not my turn
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.

Re: Please stop putting timers on confirmation buttons
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...

Re: Please stop putting timers on confirmation buttons
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...

Re: Please stop putting timers on confirmation buttons
Thank you so much for speaking up about this. 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. I am convinced there is value to those timers for players who wis...

Re: Mantis Falls is now in Beta!
Mantis Falls was moved back to Alpha at the request of the publisher.
It is still fully playable by anybody who has access or is invited to the "Mantis Falls Players" group.

Re: Major Update - December 2023
It's the turn of Crunchi_sib, who gained two food tokens from the birdfeeder, then activated brown powers on her two birds, Red-Breasted Nuthatch and Barred Owl. When Barred Owl successfully hunted a bird with wingspan < 75 cm, my Black Vulture was triggered to gain one food token. I rerolled the d...

Re: Swift Starter Pack
It would appear that if a game option is introduced for the first time while an arena season is in progress, that option is not locked by the Arena Format, so it can vary based on user preferences when setting up the game. When queuing for an arena game, you should be able to prevent joining a table...

Re: Swift Starter Pack
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...

Re: Swift Starter Pack
The default setting is indeed not to include them in the deck. To do otherwise could have unintended impacts on the existing Arena format and tournaments in progress. I can always change the default setting in a future update, and am considering doing so once the next Arena season starts.
