Many of my BGA friends use tablets or phones to play, but when they do they don't get mouse hover popup info.

Like what people on computers have access to and thus they become frustrated, because they don't get the helpful info they need to play. Is there a way to stimulate the mouse-hover info on tablets and phones? Or a way to implement it? I know I shouldn't hold my breath. The BGA won't even mandate an "Undo" button (which players strongly want), even for new games. But I'm just curious.

Just long press on the thing, works pretty well except on Safari

My only thing here is that the long press is maybe not as intuitive as it could be. Would it be too messy if a small "i" in a circle appeared over things where there was a pop up text available? With maybe an option to turn those "i"s on and off?

Sorry man! I feel like I've just tried to teach Grandmother to suck eggs (which is a idiom I've never understood how it came it being and may never enquire too deeply...) - I've not tried those games on here yet, but yeah, if it has that effect of highlighting where you can look for extra information I endorse it whole heartedly!

Nope, it doesn't work more often than does. I'm on Chrome on Android, and just today I have three times used a card when trying to long-press it. Only two of those games have "reset action" option, too. It's very frustrating, and it would be cool to see BGA more mobile-friendly.

What are the games ? I never encountered any issue on Android. And the fact that a game is lacking a reset option is a completely different story.

Wingspan, Hadara and Seasons. And if for Wingspan you can just zoom in, in Hadara there is no text on the cards, so if you don't know the card you need that pop-up to understand what's going on. And in Seasons you need to see the other sides of the die sometimes, so zoom also doesn't help.

Long press works one time of three on these, so I basically stopped playing the last two on my tablet, because it's too frustrating.
