Board Game Arena

After using several platforms and trying this one, I have to say that the biggest and easiest improvement to BGA would be (Imo) to add 'Confirm' and 'Redo' buttons to pretty much every game at the end of turns. This would eliminate misplays by accidental clicking or whatever reason and allow trying things out without committing.

'But that would make turns and games longer!' you say? Just the opposite I say. In a simple game like 7W, it's not going to take more than 5s to pick another card if I tap the wrong one but I will be happy to be able to fix that mistake. In a heavier game, it would actually make things faster to do trial-and-error on the BGA platform rather than having to figure them out perfectly (sometimes on paper!) before implementing each irreversible step.

All that being said, I am quite enjoying the site.

Where possible there normally is, in 7 wonders just click a different card.

In Russian Railroads and Through the Ages you can play almost your entire turn and still get a redo.

A lot of games you may uncover hidden information during your turn, so an undo is not possible then.

On a few games, there is a confirm mode in the game settings. I think Hex has this.

Some game miss the undo feature (Seasons, for some action and activating cards, for example) and it would be a great improvement to add these features.

I guess it's dependent on the dev(s) who made the game available on BGA.

A good solution to avoid longer wait time'd be an undo/redo button with a timer. (Some games has this kind of feature)

Yes 7W bad example. The games where I noticed it the most were Keyflower and Caylus. Hold on a tile to see what it does and accidentally select it? Too bad, that's your turn. And in Terra Mystica, each little step is reversible but the whole turn isn't so you have to get it just right. As I said, it would be faster to figure out my turn using the BGA platform and redo as needed than to figure it all out in my head or on paper first.
