Re: Players who already lost should not score points if someone else leaves later

Furthermore, abandoning the game should not be allowed at all, as I suggested in an another thread. This may be an issue that requires more work on the BGA side, not just in this game. Anyway, when a player's timer reaches zero, they should automatically pay their blinds if it's their turn to do so,...

Re: Castle of Burgundy - Option without yellow tile 6

The best option for now is to message you opponents before the game starts to see if they’ll agree to treat Yellow Tile #6 as if it’s the original (can buy tiles from any depot, but still requiring 2 coins). That way, you get the benefits of the good changes made to Yellow Tiles #15 (3 8==~ 2 point...

Re: Castle of Burgundy - Option without yellow tile 6

In a four player game every yellow tile appears, so if one is missing, that means there will be an empty yellow spot on the last phase; that would also be unfair.

Is it possible to keep quitting players in?

In BGA any one player quitting a game causes the entire game to void all scores and changes to rankings, including for the players who wanted to remain. This is frustrating but often inevitable, in many games it is mathematically either impossible or at least silly to keep playing if the number of p...

Re: Tie instead of Win

Apart from opponent conceding the game or going over time (which can happen in any game in BGA), there is only one way to win a game of chess, and that is making a checkmate, which you didn't.

Re: Is An Anti-Deadlock Rule Needed?

This sounds so unsportsmanlike that maybe they both deserve to lose.

The one doing this is obviously losing (otherwise they wouldn't do this) and the other has played bad enough to allow this to happen.

Pay in non-gold by default

The game could go a little faster, if any purchase available would be paid by non-gold jewels (or minimum possible amount of gold) by default. Of course, the player should still be able to change it, but there wouldn't be necessary extra clicks if they didn't want to. There are situations where a pl...

Re: Is this kosher?

I'd say it's all a part of the game, as long as it's not attacking the players personally, like, say, "because he's from that certain country it's ok to rob him".

Slower start

In the beginning of the game, I would like to have a good look at all my cards. Even if I had the 2-of-clubs, I wouldn't want to play it before becoming familiar with my hand. When the card is played automatically, I need to consentrate on the opponents' cards on the first trick as well as my own ot...

Maximum possible score

First things first: this post is entirely useless for any strategic use in the game. It doesn't require opponents to be stupid, on the contrary, it requires the opponents' full and careful cooperation to assist one single player to get this maximum score. However, it was fun to do. If you spot any e...
