Board Game Arena

I thought these issues were important enough to put them forward here, while I preferred to include them in an existing thread, but nothing that I saw matched from the content (or is there a random questions thread?).

First is about the ranking charts... I would favor that you can set whichever you are mainly/exclusively playing as standard. For example I am not interested in Arena-mode yet, but every time I click the ranking I must select 'Elo' anew.

Then another thing about toc that would enhance the convenient handling. If you can't play this move but there is the possiblity to do so in the future the current round it's perfectly fine you discard one card individually. But if it's guaranteed you are out for the whole round (that means you have no piece on the track but on the starting field, have no Ace or King and can't move a piece in your goal by 1 or 2 or 3 spots) it would be more sensible to discard altogether instead of clicking a single card every remaining move. I think the same has been proposed in Stone Age in the past (automatic resource selection in shop card rolls for the second player) and other games that don't cross my mind at the moment.

No big troubles, but both would increase the user-friendliness slightly.

Edit: sorry just noticed that might be more suitable for the suggestions section, but probably too late now.
Second edit... well maybe it's not so fair to discard all card at once in case number two. Because the time point of the 10's discard(s) do make a difference in almost each round. I didnt consider that before, but maybe after the 10s in your hand are gone, then there could be a special button.

Whenever this has been brought up before, the answer generally has been that this was a design consideration. The slowdown in the game has to be weighed against players being unaware of the game situation and the extra programming required to check and see if there are no other legal moves. Additionally, some situations exist in games where if there is only one legal move, it would give away hidden information to automate that move. (Oh, you have to follow suit in Hearts and the game played a card instantly for you? Guess that was the last card you had of that suit...)
