How does a group discover games restricted to that group?

Post by Poddster »

Hi,

Let's say I've opened some tables and restricted them to members of a group. How do members of that group now "find" the tables?

Currently I'm having to post on the group stating "I've opened tables for games, x, y, z" and the members of the group see this, go to the lobby, go to the games, and then "join". It's a bit clunky, especially if they've not played the game before and it's not in their filtered list.

I'm hoping there's an easy, and obvious way, for people to find these games without each one having to be "announced". Perhaps I've missed something somewhere? e.g. Is there a way to
  1. "Invite" the entire group, so that all the players are notified?
  2. Go onto the group page and somehow see all the games currently restricted to that group?
Thanks

I'm interested in this question as well.

So far we've been working around the issue by spamming the new tables to the group message. BGA even helpfully truncates the full url into a shortened version. It's not ideal, but it works for now, except for this bug: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=17588
