Identifying other players

Post by thomasf55 »

When I play I see the dominos as laid out by other players, but the layouts do not identify who is playing which one. I would find this information helpful, especially when trying to figure out what the other players want. Can their names be added to the display of their layouts?

Thanks

Aren't the named boards and meeples colour coded? I'm pretty sure you can tell whose looking for what.

Update: Yes, I just verified. The boxes around each player board is colour coded to each player name, and placed meeple. (maybe not ideal for the visuals, given accessibility, and ease of distinguishing the line thickness on a phone, especially given all the empty real estate around each board that could have hosted a coloured name.)

They actually are highlighted, but still difficult to distinguish for me. Having them better highlighted, or even including the names, would be really really appreciated. Any chance this improvement can be implemented?

It does seem funny that "Your Kingdom" is shown in the top left corner of your player space, (which for convenience is already larger than the opponents' play areas and located obviously at the top), yet the opponents names are not provided within their play space.

I don't think it would be overly difficult to put the opponents name (colour coded) within their play area, similar to "Your Kingdon."

Perhaps a Bug - Game Improvement Suggestion would initiate a change/update.
