Maybe some of you noticed that game presentation pages ("How to play?") have been improved recently. Many of you are telling us how much this is difficult to learn a new game online. Let's be reasonable: there's nothing like a real game in real life to learn a new game. However, we tried to setup the best available tools to allow you to learn how to play a game online, and thus to discover more and more game on Board Game Arena.
So, what's new? You can now directly see how a game looks like from the game presentation pages. If you click on this small insight, you can watch the "replay" of a game we selected just this purpose. On the other hand, we gave rules video a bigger space, and add a "thumb up" button on each item on the page. Don't hesitate to "thumb up" useful links and video to help players to find the best way to learn a new game.

Some other minor improvements:
- the moderation tool for these pages has been improved. Links and videos that you submit are validated way faster than before: don't hesitate to submit yours!
- we removed the "don't forget to evaluate your opponents when opponents have been all evaluated already"
- players available for a game are now sorted by rank
