Deleted Games

Post by Karottenkopf »

Are games sometimes deleted from BGA? I found a Love Letter Tournament that took Place, Butt the Game does not exist anymore…

Yes. There are several threads discussing the removal of Love Letter in the actual Love Letter forum.

Thanks for the answer! Has this happened to other games too or is Love Letter the only game?

It happened to at least one other game. "Insert" was removed, but came back as "Donuts." When "Insert" was removed, not only did the tournament histories get deleted, but it doesn't even show up in your personal game history. It is as if it never existed.

Love Letter has not been removed, it has been moved back to alpha. Only those who have played it before can see it (I'm not sure if alpha reviewers can).

Point Salad was at some point moved to alpha too, but it eventually came back.

Other games that have been moved to alpha after being released, or at least in beta (the ones with a star have a black banner saying that only members of the group can see it):
Apocalypse at the Zoo of Carson City
Duck and Cover (*)
Confusing Lands
The Oracle Babet (*)
Kinapa (*)
Equinox (*)
Mantis Falls (*)
Harbour
Gosu (*)
Tiki

According to the announcement, Fate of the Fellowship is only available for a limited time, so it will probably be moved to alpha or removed completely in the future.

Add "Parks" to the list that was moved back to alpha, then released again.

IIRC Dominion has been removed from BGA per IP owner's request.

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)
