This is a real-time table at fast speed, the fastest speed available on BGA. One of the tied first-place players never went overtime; one did go overtime. In such a tie, the time penalty should be a tie-breaker. I'm not asking for the result of the game to be changed, but I think it would be a good ...

In a real-time game that ends in a tie, where one player in the tie has gone over the time limit and one has not, I think the time limit should be a tie-breaker.

This is an incredibly helpful, insightful guide and reference, ufm. A big thank you from me, and I strongly suggest that mods pin this to the Hardback forum, if that's possible. On the BGG forum, the creator & publisher of Hardback, said of ufm's guide: I'm speechless - just incredible all the d...

I'll definitely keep playing the game, but it was fun to have the rankings and rivalries with people like karla and Jack... and ufm, you put so much time and work into this game and sharing your insights with the rest of us. It's appreciated.

okee-dokee. i still don't understand why it makes you so angry that someone passionate about words doesn't like the "dictionary" (word list) you decided to make default, and have been so since my first post. i'm still very glad and grateful that you put this game on BGA, and i'd still happ...

I can't know, of course. And I would take their word for it if they'd say they aren't using assistance in building words. But they haven't responded to my asking if they're using assistance, or ever otherwise chatted. And of course many people have strong word-game skills and learn Hardback quickly....

Not great examples you chose here. "hexane" is obviously specialized scientific vocabulary for a particular field, so it's completely understandable why it wouldn't be included in a dictionary of standard English words. The same is true for highly specialized vocabulary from any field (co...
