Board Game Arena

Hello,

First, thanks for this game ! Very nice !

But there is something that is very annoying to me. I constantly need to scroll down to see the cards that have been drawn.

the players cards, with the status card and the gems counter could be very set smaller, or displayed horizontally. It would make the game experience much nicer.
Because now at each card played, i have to scroll up to decide if i explore or if I go out, and then scroll down to see what is the new card drawn, etc...

I am surprised that nobody report it already. Maybe there is an option or a configuration that I missed?
I am playing mostly on a laptop, so my screen is not huge.

Thanks!

Playing in 70% or less on chrome is ok.

Yeah some people with small resolutions may have to scroll but you can easily adjust this with CTRL + and CTRL -

Anyway I'm going to review the css to check If I could save some space on the camps or make them flow under the temple.

The lay out is a bit strange. The most important thing are the drawn cards, not if it is turn 2 or 3. Which could also be just a number at the top (ie: 2/5). And also, the tents could be a lot smaller.

You do need to look Every round which cards are drawn, you do not need to look Every round at the tents.

I agree, but this is really the fault of the tabletop version of the game. The temple is prominent on the table - though it needn't be for gameplay purposes - and the tens are these big ol' structures, to be able to fit all the gems into them.

I think it's just a case of tabletop design not converting perfectly to the screen.

I'm not having to do tons of scrolling cause I'm on a desktop computer, but I do wonder why the cards aren't in the same order they came up in.

But I agree there's a lot of wasted space. I think the temple cards are mostly a waste, even tabletop. I don't know that the tents are too big, but the explore/temple card doesn't need to be so big. I'd rather have the numbers bigger.

As long as you're looking at the game... I think it's important to find a way to mark who has already left the temple, or who is still in it, whichever. I'm in a 6 player game and even if I were playing live I wouldn't do that good at tracking who's left, and I'm playing turn-based so I'm having to put that in the notes, which I think is ridiculous. Seems like it could be marked on the tent area somehow. Talk about scrolling - that would be such a pain to go back and find that in the running log.

If you replay a finished game, you'll see that the 'leave' vote cards stay exposed for players who left the temple. So the fact that those cards are not properly displayed when loading the game in turn based mode is a bug and should be reported as such so that the developer can repair this (all developers do not necessarily read the forum posts).

Ah, OK. Thanks.

I saw this and I'm working on the fix to make the "leave to camp" card persisted over F5 refreshes or turn based games.

Should be fixed this afternoon on new games.
