Board Game Arena

Lets vote somewhere to change it back.
No wonder i couldn't find players. Everyone hates the new design

I have played over 20 000 games i have membership just for this game and not its so bad. I want my money back.

Worst design decision. The layout is also not properly working anymore. Terrible!

New design is terrible. Change it back

Absolutely awful, my favourite game is now unplayable and I have cancelled my premium membership over this.

So, we're told that even if players are frustrated by the new graphics and want the option of using the old ones, "going back with an option is… not an option." Why? Because "the cards were designed by professional graphic designers" and that "if some of you think you can explain to all of them how to do their job, maybe you should apply."

I can't think of a more arrogant way to respond to players, especially premium members. How about engaging with the concerns? How about consulting users transparently before changing beloved games? How about treating this as a community?

The issue isn't whether the graphics are attractive. It's whether the game is better for the PLAYERS as a result. If you consulted players widely and transparently before changing them, tell us. If you didn't, pledge to learn and do better.

This is bad design for a mobile game. I just hit the game I was playing because I couldn't understand a thing anymore

Nothing dramatic from me, I'll still be here playing TONS of games. But I have removed Lost Cities from my favorites. For all the various reasons above. That said, I'll check back in here every few weeks. I actually have faith that they'll eventually "fix" this issue.

Same, I will quit. It is literally impossible to play on an iPad, there is even no way to fit the cards on the screen! Were these graphics not tested before release?!

I hate how it looks and plays now - I'm not using it anymore - its horrible
