It would be great if we could add a remind button to games that go longer. So if you do a game with friends with no time limit, it would be cool to be able to prod them once a day after some time. Nothing too drastic or annoying but if you only play one turn based game at a time and you miss or accidentally delete the "your turn" email then you may never remember lol.

Actually by default you get the "daily report" email everyday that reminds you it's your turn.

And if you ever go to the website you have a "It's your turn to play on X table" banner.

(And if you play with friends they can also gently reminds you that you stopped playing)

Yeah it's a niche need for sure, but if the guy turns off his daily reminders and is only playing one turn-based game then he has no idea what is going on. Even if you were playing a timed game in this they wouldn't receive a notification until they were almost completely out of time.

Again, it's a niche thing but would be nice.

A playing hours period is a 12 hours slot, for example "10:00 to 22:00".
Okay, I understand boardgamers must sleep sometimes, but didn't they need to work (sometimes), too??? :geek:

I don't like to play during working times, so a 12h slot would be by far too long. :roll:

Of course I understand, when playing with someone with a complete different slot (like 22:00-10:00 in your example) everybody can do only 1 move in his slot, because there isn't any answer.

Hmmm, maybe an option to create a game with ANY time slot, where all players have to accept the SAME?
So maybe I can start an "evening-session-game", every day some hours, maybe 18:00-22:00.

Why does the time never go down on my tournament games now? It always shows 2 days and a crescent moon. Here is my game number 48407856

W sabotażyście gra w czasie rzeczywistym to okropieństwo, powinna być możliwość +10/15 sekund na ruch bo i tak widzisz co grają inni gracze....

The game I'm in has been decreasing players' clocks during the night portion.
