Board Game Arena

On the "Play now" page, it would be useful if there was an option to only display games you can actually join. For example a checkbox that, once checked, removes all games from the list where you can't join (because of rating, reputation or not being in a group). If there is such an option, my apologies, and please point me to it.

For sure. I find I'm actually having difficulty getting into games of (say) Race for the Galaxy because of this. By the time I parse through the requirements for the game to see if I can actually play it, someone else has already joined.

Similarly, I'm not sure how to tell what "level" I am? Is this information included somewhere and I just didn't notice it, or is it hidden?

First, I think someone wrote some javascript that can be plugged in to help.

As to one's level: Beginner and member accounts can check their ELO, and compare it to the breakpoints:
Never won = beginner
<1600 = average
1601-1800 = good
1801-2000 = expert
2001+ = master

For those complaining that normal accounts can't access ELO -- hey, you've played a month, and can't shell out the cost of a couple of coffees? Deal with limitations
