Board Game Arena

Yeah, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but I didn't see any notice. In any case, I see I'm not the only one who preferred the old setup, and it's always nice to be in good company

Until recently, the BGA forum homepage showed boards for the games that I know, with a notice to that effect. Now it shows all games. What happened? I tried hunting for a setting to change it back, with no success. Any tips?

Hmmmm. Looks like there's a bug. When I do the game replay, it names a winner in one view, while declaring a tie in a different view.

Thanks both! @menettm is correct, the reason I posted is that only one of us was declared the winner at the end of the game. @Jellby, perhaps ranking has to do with the number of points (which were equal) and does not reflect tiebreaker situations on BGA??

Silene, this was excellent use of the term coddled, and I had to post because the mixup with cuddled somehow made your point even more strongly. Way to go with a typo

Either a cancel button, or more separation between the target areas (especially for play on the phone). Go to the link above and give it a green thumb!

Well said

I'm not colorblind but this is a good suggestion in the spirit of good sportsmanship and digital adaptation of the board game. Voted up!
