How would constructed decks work on BGA?

Assuming that some expansions are coming, by the rules that would give players the option to create their own decks by swapping out certain cards for expansion cards. How would such a thing work in BGA? Could we have saved decks for the various factions and pick which one we want to use? Are there e...

Re: Imperial Settlers: Empire State of Mind

This is one of my favorite games of all time! So psyched to see it on BGA. I agree with other posters that the name is unfortunate and weird. I assume it's called "Settlers" in an attempt to get on the Settlers of Catan bandwagon? No idea about the "imperial" part - there's nothi...

Portal Games licensing and Imperial Settlers

I was thrilled to see 51st State on BGA since my understanding had been that Portal Games wasn't interested in licensing their games.

Re: Uptown is now in beta

Myself and my friends are enjoying the game but we find the blue and green colors too similar looking to each other when there's a mix of them on the board. I would suggest that one of those colors should be darker than the other or maybe there could be a new color. Hi, David. Thanks for the report...

Thanks, Juergen. I've created a bug based on your suggestion:

Uptown is now in beta

Hi, folks. I'm happy to announce that my adaptation of Kory Heath's excellent game, Uptown, is now available in beta. Uptown is an abstract tile laying area control game. It's quick to learn and quick to play, but involves interesting strategic choices. If that sounds intriguing to you, I encourage ...

Re: preserveArgsInHistory argument to notifyAllPlayers

Lol, that would do it ;)

Is there a good way to keep up with changes to the API? Thanks.

preserveArgsInHistory argument to notifyAllPlayers

Hi, folks. I'm using format_string_recursive in my Javascript code to replace text in the game log with images. I'm encountering a common problem - not all of the information in the original notifications is replayed when the game interface reloads. The problem and its solution are discussed here: h...

Re: About BGA + Asmodee

I'm pleased for the founders of BGA. They've put in a ton of good work on this site, and I'm happy so see them getting rewarded. As a volunteer developer, though, I have mixed feelings. I love BGA and was happy to contribute my time and effort to support an independent site by and for gamers. Now th...
