Kingdom Builder suggestions

Hi, I usually play BGA on the iPad, and there is no reliable “hover over” function. I tried a lot of “tapping” to see if I could get it to pop up with the info, but it just doesn’t work. When I play on the BGA app on my android phone, tapping the symbol does pop-up an explanation. Maybe if you put the info for reference, down below the cards for this game’s goals? Thanks, Ellen

What about a long tap on it ? I usually tap and holds for 2 seconds to display tooltip on mobile.and it works quite well.

Noticed something similar... not really a bug (it doesn't happen all the time, and it's not very annoying, just frustating as you have to wait) but still...

When you end your turn, you get the next card of the next player displayed. So you can try to figure out what he will probably do. But when you come back for a second look, it has disappeared.

Edit. Having watched it again, it's only a matter of card display as you can read the next card in the center.

I dont get it, as long as he is playing, you should see its current card

Sorry for my english.
I meant I can't see the next card of my first opponent while I am waiting for him to play (once I have finished to play). But it's a very minor thing, not a problem.

I'm still not sure of what you are saying. The flow should go like this :
- during my turn, I see my card and everyone else also see my card
- at the end of my turn, a new card is drawn for me and I am the only one who can see it (I am also the only one seeing the notification about it)
- at the start of my opponent's turn, I see the terrain card he is using during his turn (it's also written on the page title : "... must build on a ...")
- at the end of my opponent's turn and until it's next turn, I only see the back of card

Which part seems broken for you ?

[CaKtus]

Nothing is really broken.
It's between your lines 2 and 3.
When I end my turn, I can see his card and the terrain he will have to play is written, even when he did not start playing (I am not playing RT).
So i go looking at other boards. Coming back for a second look, I can now only see the back of the card.

Thanks for the clarification, so the issue is when leaving and coming back the page on opponent's turn. That's indeed a bug, please fill a bug report so I can track it

The long tap did work! Thank you so much and sorry for the trouble! So far, I am enjoying the game! Regards, Ellen

I‘m relative new here, how long are games usually in beta? I can‘t wait to play it in arena mode, nice job developer

Who is usually deciding how many players arena mode will have, is this a discussion or somebody just decides? I usually like playing with 4 players but its also very hard for the 4th person to compete when you have a round with really good players. The first player advantage is pretty huge in this scenario.

It depends on the agenda of releases of BGA, about ~1month in general I would say. This one should get off by the end of September in principle.
For my previous games, the BGA admins usually ask me what the arena should be. I would say 2 players is the best in general for these kind of game (to avoid the "who is gonna tackle the player who is winning right now eventhough that means losing lot of points"), but I haven't played it a lot so I'm open to discussions.

Don't get me wrong, the game is really cool with 4 players, its just so bad to be last. Maybe 3 players is perfect? I don't like 2 players much because basically everybody can get everything and its to much space for everybody. So no real puzzles to solve.
