I really do not get why so many people are seemingly not able to click "Play now". You CAN see players and tables (yes multiple at once), just one simple click. This is the internet, you have to click buttons.

Regarding the "crowdedness" of the site. I think of course there will be less tables open simultaneously just because the matching players to tables is faster and more efficient now. Maybe there will be more tables again when people finally get that they can open multiple tables at once.

Now it's more confusing.
Is any option of back to previous view? I dont like new one....
I agree with Henry. Instead of being able to view all currently available tables, I have to choose a game first in the new format. And since I tend to like games other people don't, I won't find any opponents.... Not a great change :(

I hate it. You can’t see all tables at once. Please restore the prior version. Thanks

Please return to your former room where more is visible as you make a choice on a game and who is playing. If you could design it to where tables were visible with chairs for number of players so that empty seats were visible, etc;.,that would be great.

Terrible UI. It was practical before (see any games of interest). Now there is way to much clicking through to find a game. Who beta'd this?

This lobby is not better, and the sound for people joining your table is gone. The heck, BGA? Doesn't seem anyone actually tried this UI.

Can you make a way to better differentiate between games with available tables and games with none? Like sort games with available tables first, or highlight them somehow? That would be my one suggestion-- otherwise I think it looks good!

Suggestion- Make it so our changes will be saved. I have 24 games in my favorites, all from casual to complex. Sometimes I do not have time for a long game. I like to fill tables and see who is waiting at a table. Many times, I will join a table with someone I know (but not on friend list) because I know they are comparable to my playing level and plans their turns while I am taking mine, or because I know they are pleasant to play a game with. So, the new lobby, I clicked "play now" on each of the games on my play list. This allows me to see all of the games available. However, once I joined a game, the lobby went back to before and I had to click them all open again. Quite annoying. Especially if I jump into a quick game of Can't Stop. Takes me longer to open all of the game tables back up than it does to play the game. I would like to see the game tables stay open, unless you choose to collapse them.

I don't think this was a well thought out change. Did you consult any of your long time players? There are a lot of missing components.

Can't see reputations at tables before joining in the lobby. Can't see how many people are online to play a game. No more "suggestions" either?

It just seems like there are a lot of things lacking. Please reconsider or I might have to ask for a refund on my remaining membership.
