Games that work best on Mobile

Post by kwharvey »

Hello everyone!! I was just wondering what are some games in here that translate well to the mobile version of this site. My group is mainly looking for low interaction games that we can play through over multiple days. We typically play games like wingspan/wyrmspan, apiary, terraforming mars, and Everdell when we can all play simultaneously.

Any thoughts from the community?

This is starting to get frustrating. This same question was asked on the FIRST PAGE of the sub-forum you just posted on, and the response was links to previous times it has been asked. Did you even try searching first?

Wingspan used to work fine on mobile (I wouldn't say well — there's a lot going on and thus a lot of zooming in and out required). A recent change, circa mid-July, seems to have broken this by cashing the game to crash whenever zoomed in too much.

I've submitted a bug report about this: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=235798

I haven't tried other games so I can't speak to that. With Wingspan, it isn't that there is a separate mobile interface; it's the same as the desktop interface, and seems to have been designed with only a large full screen in mind. BGA is an excellent platform for playing Wingspan, however, particularly in my experience over multiple days with a relaxed time control.

While I agree that it would be nice if people could try the search box before posting a new thread on the same topic, I don't see any threads in the first page of topics in the Discussions forum. The two threads you've linked had last postings in 2025 and 2024 respectively, so I can't see that they would be that high in the list of topics - am I missing something?

But yes, search is your friend. If you really care what the community thinks, then try seeing what they've already suggested (and if they haven't, then feel free to create a new topic). The same applies when you have a problem - chances are, your question may have been answered before, so try searching first! You'll get your answer straight away, so it's a win-win!
