Board Game Arena

Since Can't Stop went premium I'd been struggling to find a game (searching for 0 players)

Today I decided to take off my +/1 level restriction to see if it would help, and to my surprise it did.

I've been watching the tables created over the past few days and every one I loaded was hosted by an elite player, so within my restrictions, but I was unable to join the game.

After changing my settings, I got matched against an elite player, so also within my previous restrictions.

Unless it's a question of when I joined the queue, which would ask the question of how I then got in a game now.

(Turn-based game btw, is been sitting searching for the past 4 days)

it's a bug. been that way for ages, even after they fixed the initial problem where you never got a game if you did any level restriction.

I believe their fix was to allow people to join your table, but you can't join another table if your table requirements don't meet their table requirements (even if your level falls within their level...this would work for 2p games but may fail for 3+ player games if it allowed you to join the table. Of course for 3+ player games it seems near impossible to get a real time game going if you restrict level b/c so few people restrict level that even if you get a table open (by being premium or playing a non-premium game) any players that join won't stay very long b/c they will almost always have another game start that didn't have the level restrictions.
