Games completed by me, but not finished by all users

Post by wannabepudge »

Rallyman GT is my example game, but there might be others.

When a game is completed (I've crossed the finish line) but the game continues to determine finishing order for other players, I would love a way to be able to come back to the game.
In this scenario, the game is no longer listed in my active tables, so it is not easy for me to find my way back to see the progress or completion of the table until all users have finished. When playing turn-based (especially with friends), I would like to go back and see how my friends are doing.

My initial thoughts were to have a completed games section below the active tables, where all games that I no longer take turns at would get listed.

Another option, there is already an option that pops up asking if i wish to stay on the table to watch the remainder of the game, or to go to active tables list. A third option could be added to keep the table as active until all users are finished.

Perhaps there is something I am missing, but among my regular play group, this has been brought up by multiple users.

Thank you.
Thank you

Same issue with Perudo.

A work-around would just be to bookmark it until it's finished. Also, if you know at least one player on the game, you can get to their current games through their profile - but only if they are still playing too.

Isn't a game in progress still shown in the "Your games in progress" list until it is finished? I access this list via the symbol on the top right corner that is right next to the speaker symbol.

If you have many turn-based games, this list can get a bit overwhelming but it never occured to me consciously that games were missing before they have finished. If your unfinished games are not shown there, I would consider this to be a bug and you should write a bug report.

The BGA platform has an eliminate player function for a small handful of games like Rallyman, in which you are not expected or able to take any further actions after crossing the finish line. It is a feature designed with real-time games in mind, where eliminating a player means that player now has the option of starting another real-time game.

For turn-based games, there is a notification when the entire game is complete. Unless a game is missing from your list where you have upcoming turns, I wouldn't consider it a bug, but rather a design decision that may be worth revisiting. I like the idea of a separate category in your list of games.
