Dobble & Spot-it: The worldwide known seek and find game!

[LightKnight]

I think there should be changes to the patate chaude (idk the English for it) version, reducing the distance between cards or sth, because you can't manage to have them all fully within the screen, in the computer; yet, there is still some gap between them.
Also, the little signal and resetting you get when a player misses it, it sounds like it's the end or a player takes the card, when really it's not. So this as well may be changed?

Dobble tutorial (alpha version)

Thank you to those who played the tutorial and rated it.
Thanks to you, it is highly rated.
If you haven't tried it yet, please play it and rate it.

I tried you tutorial and it is good, just a few points for improvement:
1. You don´t state what the winning conditions for this particular game are (having more cards then your oponent at the end)
2. The mention of the use in anime is unnecessary information, could be removed
3. You don´t say when does the game end in the tutorial (when all the 55 cards are used)
4. You could mention that EVERY card has 8 symbols
5. In the line "there is always one common symbol" you could add "EXACTLY one common symbol", just to make it absolutely clear

In my opinion these things could be improved. Other then that - good job.

I wish to everyone next year to be more normal, with more live meetings and events.
I wish to see here Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, King of Tokyo/New York, Cartographers.

King of Tokyo is already on BGA!

Also Happy New year to all

I'd like a solo mode to play against a timer, and a non-competitive option to just take turns (good for children and people who enjoy no pressure games)

Did not work for me. Just kept saying loading at the top. Had no chat bubble to talk to other players. I was expelled for not taking my turn although the game never gave any option to do anything as it showed as still loading... Now my reputation score dropped 10 points on account of something I had no control over. This makes me hesitant to try new games if I will be treated negatively for such glitches

This game is so frustrating for me! LOL ! Is like BGA is not working! I am very slow playing double! When i click on the image i never get it! TOO SLOW! TOO SLOW! TOO SLOW! Nice implementation tough !

FYI this is sometimes easily solved by refreshing your screen.

As a big fan of Set, the best news here is that dobble is a simultaneous game too that can‘t work turn-based (the first of these on BGA, i think, right?), so the chance to ever get Set on BGA increases.

This said, and having looked at all different modes of Dobble, it‘s almost impossible to play properly (some specific on my iPad, some also on my computer) - it lags heavily; the replacement animations are way too slow and lagging; the animations sometimes just are right out unnecessary and highly confusing; in some modes you can click too early; or click earlier than the opponent and he still gets it; there constantly are BGA error banners popping up, for being too late, for a process running already, for whatever random bga bug; … and the issue pretty certainly is not just my internet speed.

Finally, do I just not see the according posts in alpha/beta sections, or did it go to general availability straight away, in which case all points on the list above would not be of that much surprise, with low hopes to have it improve…

So while it‘s cool to have a game in this direction, i feel that it‘s not mature enough yet, and i‘m not sure whether the bga infrastructure is for this type of game, having in mind that also other games are implemented with the slowest pace seen (e.g. Tichu)…

I have to say I agree with aesche's post, sometimes it is impossible to play this game properly, as there is a lag, and if you click at the exact same time as someone else, you get error messages popping up that then block the cards, making it impossible to see all the symbols on the next card that appears. There are also times when you hear the sound to show that someone has clicked on the card, and you haven't even seen it yet; clearly people playing on a touch screen phone are at an advantage here. Lastly, there are times when I can see that I have clicked on the correct image, but then immediately afterwards the card goes to a different player, even if it is obvious that I clicked first. Very difficult to play this game competitively in the arena when there are so many issues with time lags etc.
