I played with some friends unil one made a mistake resulting in two beggar cards. So we agreed to abandon the game and restart with the same seed. However, in the replay at the end of game statistics etc won't show. It is permanently loading. So how can I get the seed of the game?

That is the game:

I am not sure if I understand you correctly.

You gave us the link of the abandoned game. Obviously you cannot see any game statistics there since the game does not count to any statistics. That is the reason to abandon a game in the first place.

But your goal seems to open this game again and play a rematch with the same seating order and the same starting player? Or what else do you mean with "seed of the game"?

In a rematch you would keep the same seating order but you would have a different start-player.

In any case: If you start the game again, it is a new game - so enjoy it!

Agricola has the option to input the same "seed" as another table and get the exact same cards dealt out. It is one of the "draft" options.

The issue is the seed is only written in to the game code at the very end of the game, so I'm not sure there is any way to get the seed for an abandoned game like this. Perhaps the developers should add the seed to the game log in situations where all players agree to abandon. Regardless, at the moment it does not, so I think the OP is out of luck.

Thank you for this interesting information. I might be incorrect but this may be one of the many things on BGA that are not very well documented.

Perhaps I should have found that somewhere on my own - but I don't even know where to look. If you go to a game then you usually only find the official rules but not anything more (this is not unique to Agricola).

I have now found where to retrieve the seed (replay a game).

What exactly will happen if I use this seed with a new game with new players? Is this possible? Will the startplayer be determined by chance and the startplayer gets the same cards as it was the case in the seed game?
