Beginner's question: Can games be saved?

Post by ludopath »

I have just finished a game of "Gyges" and would like to have a look at the whole game afterwards.
Is this possible? Is there a database with past games?
I also play "Gyges" at gyges.com, and there ALL past games, not just my own but of all the players, can be reviewed at any time.
Thanks!

Hi,
to watch a replay of a game that you have played, you can click on your Profile (on your nickname top up right) > click on the button "Recent Activity" > click on the game that you want to replay > click on the button "replay game".

For example : https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=39860773 and click on the button "replay game".

You can also view games of other people. Go to the Games main menu to find the game you want. Then click on Latest Results and it lists the most recent finished games. If you want to do something like look at games of highly ranked players, go to Ranking instead which lists the top people. Then you can go to their profiles and find their completed games, just like you can your own games. If you know a specific player, go to the Community main menu, and type their name in the Find a Player, and again you can look through their games. Everyone's profiles look the same.

If by some slight chance you have the number of a game, you can open any of that game and simply replace the game ID number in the URL with the one you want. (I was thinking there used to be a more direct way to do that but I can't find it.)

But lots of ways to get to games.

EDIT: And while you're in all those places, look around a bit. You might be surprised what you find.
