Board Game Arena

One thing I struggle with in BGA is getting other people to play. Once they sign up it's all gold, but getting them there is hard. Wouldn't it be cool if you could send them a URL that signs them up for an account under the auspice of them also having been pre-invited to a specific game with you as long as they use the same email address to create the account. Thoughts?

I can totally relate to your problem. And I think it would be a cool feature indeed.

What I already succesfully did: Use the BGA game tutorials (you can access them without registration!) to "trick" someone into BGA. So I had one friend who likes boardgames but he did not want to play online. Then I pointed him to a BGA tutorial of a game he considered to buy, so he could try out how the game looks and works first hand. As a side effect, he saw how convenient it can be to play on BGA and now he joined the party.
