Sounds...change my mind!

I changed the default sounds long ago to distinguish from when my wife plays, but they have stood the test of time.

Here's your settings for sound:

I find when playing a lot of Simple game with friends or in Arena that the first five sounds are worth changing to shorter, less obtrusive sounds.

Setting: My Choice (Default)

• It's my turn: Collect Coin (Star)
• Someone speaks in the chatroom: Button 2 (Plop 2)
• Someone makes a move: Tap (Friction)
• Someone joins the table: Button 1 (Knock Knock)
• Game is ready to start: Alarm (Star)

Everything else is fine except for:

• Clock negative alarm: Hint (Countdown)

The most important is "Someone makes a move." I use Tap because it's the sound I'll hear the most; I could be convinced of Button 2 or Click 3, however.

And if I don't have something the grabs my attention for "Game is ready to start," I often miss when an Arena game is ready to begin.

Change my mind!

I am on a MacAir and use Safari. Sound settings say I want all sounds turned on at all times, yet BGA defaults me to silence every time, every game. I have to manually turn on sounds or I don't hear anything and if I switch browser tabs or go to the next game, my sound is back to being off..
