Turn-based games Priorities

i suggest the turn-based game queued for play when a player logs in are prioritized by it's time remaining..
The one close to getting time-out should be given higher priorities (especially for games that has quicker turn requirement + fewer players) for making a move.

Currently i think it's queued according to the most recent move made.


My 2 cents,

Currently it's ordered by creation time. You play older games first.

Good to see I'm not the only one wanting this: I actually have created a thread asking exactly this a couple of weeks ago (http://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewtop ... =9&t=10023), but my post got no apparent interest.

Hope they implement this.

I requested something along these lines sometime ago.

But after experiencing a bug in a game this afternoon that wont let me progress (have posted bug, hopefully admin will fix).

In the meantime it would good to be able to skip this game till bug is fixed and progress to other games 'In Games In Progress' queue.
I will probably have to quit the game tonight to prevent risk of time penalties in other games.

Actually would be really good to know in the list of the games you are playing in which ones it is your turn and how much time is left for you to play. Maybe a green indicator when it's your turn and a counter for the time left.

Sometimes I have only time to make a few plays, would be great if I know which are the most urgent to do. Some other times I don't want to think for a big strategical game but be ok to play a few turns in more "easy" games, would be great to be able to go directly to the right game.

Another solution would be to have permanently a button "go to next table" in the games so you can browse quickly all the game where it's your turn to play.

Yes, agree completely; would be great improvement!
