Filter on premium / non-premium

[misterbruno]

There isn't a way to filter for games that are only non-premium, is there? I don't see a way to do it. I'm a newbie and haven't decided if I want to upgrade yet or not. It would be nice if I was not shown premium games since I can't play them. Even if I upgraded, I might want to play with a friend who isn't and I want to search for a game that we can both play.

Additionally I think it could be nice to search for only premium games too, if that's your thing!

Thanks for listening.

You can play premium games even if you're not premium. And if you are premium, you can play any game with a non premium friend

I don't understand what it means to be a premium player with respect to premium games. I'm a newbie so I actually have no friends yet. I've just been joining games and letting random players join.

So what enables me to play a premium game? Can I play a premium game with random players as long as at least one of them is premium?

Premium players are the only ones able to create a table for premium games. Once they have done so, any player can join in, and the game can start as long as there's at least a premium user around the table.

Being a regular user only prevents you from creating tables for premium games. You can still join any game.

You can find a list of premium games (and premium expansions) on this page: https://boardgamearena.com/premium?src=footer

As far as I know there is no way to filter the gamelist page https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist for premium or non-premium games.
