Board Game Arena

the last hour of stone age real time was exasperating to say the least due to the constant server crashes.

I didnt see any crash. The table ID would help to figure out what happened.

Not the game mentioned by the thread opener but take for example https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=29832003

Edit: Thread opener has completed 4 games in total, with only 1 being in the time slot he described. So I would guess he meant this game: https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=29827999
