You'll find the current answer a mere three posts about yours.

GTSchemer will you be giving updates as to how many people are Alpha Testing and how many games have been completed. It would be fun to know how everything is going.

I think the information is visible to alpha testers anyway, but some quick stats:

* Over 670 games are in progress, and over 115 have been finished. I am not sure how many finished at full score without quitters, however.

* There are now over 2700 alpha testers, including over 1300 BGA reviewers.

I came here to see essentially this, and how Alpha is going. I have an async game going right now but I doubt I'll get 3 games in before this moves out of Alpha.

Yes. If you meet the criteria to be an alpha tester. Check “help BGA” page from the bottom of any page in BGA and then select “become a BGA reviewer”. Will tell you if you are eligible.

Oh thanks, did not know about that button.
I still need to play 150 games then

I am at 750 games now! Where is the link to join the alpha tests?

Really happy to see that Codices are being implemented. Hope to see a new version of X-89 Bacterial Weapon as well

When will Thunder's Edge be implemented????

I also voted for implementing Thunder's Edge (the second TI4 expansion).

I hope that in the future, there will be a way to join games based on which Galactic Events are in play, as I personally really like the Minor Factions event.

I also would like to see everyting that was ever releaed for the physical game implemented here, but if you take a closer look at the majority of games over BGA, this is rarely the case. Most of them have only the base game and that is it. However, since Codices are already being implemented and GTSchemer once told that the basic lines of program are already done with Prophecy of Kings in mind so it is easier to implement it if this is the path chosen, I believe we will see everything released here one day.

BUT this day is certainly very far ahead. If Thunder's Edge is going to be implemented, I believe this will happen around 2028 or something like that.
