Create a multiple game table

Hard to program, probably...

Each time it happens to me that i'm not set for any particular game but for any of the games I like, but I'm forced to choose one.

It would be great to be able to say "new table for Haggis/China Gold/Kahuna" and when the first opponent joins, he select which game is to be played.

Thanks,
H

Could be interesting, if it isn't too hard to program. :)

Hmm... what's the difference with staying in the lobby, waiting for someone to create a table of Haggis/China Gold/Kahuna then join ? :?

The difference is that if everyone does it, no games actually take place. :P

You could also try to make one table for each game you want to play, one at a time. I tried this and I didn't get any bites.

I don't think it's an urgent feature, you could live without it, but it would be cool.

Not a bad idea, but you should always refer to two player games.

Why is that so?

Because when there are three players, the two players who enter must choose and would have to choose the same game. (Example: I start a game: Coloretto 3 pl, Diam's 3 pl, Stone Age 3 pl; the second player select a game, the third player chooses another game that did not choose the second player. What concept is used to know which game start?

In addition, it would be impossible to create items of different numbers of players (Diam's 2 players, 3 players Coloretto and Puerto Rico 4 players)

Hello,

What if we introduce the possibility to tell the other players the "games you want to play now", and display for each game the number of online available players that want to play each game now?

We could also introduce a possibility to suggest to players that "want to play a specific game now" to join the table?

Cheers,

Generally there are not many players like that all games have a lot of players, I wanted to play Diam's when I had to wait over two hours for someone to play because everyone plays Race of the Galaxy or other games.

Maybe not a bad idea that there is a chance that players can challenge a random opponent (users who want this should activate it and say they want to play that attach).
