New games list page
Posted: 06 April 2022, 14:05
As you know, last year we started to set up important changes in the BGA UX to make it more modern, intuitive and easy to use.
After the new player panel (top right), the new friends panel, the new design for the mobile version of BGA, and the new rich search bar; today we are happy to introduce a games list page.
It is Fast Now!
If you are a regular user of BGA, it should not be difficult to see the main immediate benefit of this new page: the old games list page was incredibly slow to display, while the new one is incredibly fast. The old page was designed do display ~100 games (which was the number of games on BGA at that time), but the growing number of games made this page difficult to use.
Categories, Tags and Filters
The BGA team also did a full review of all of the games on BGA to associate them with the correct categories ("Party game," "Deck building," ...), and also by adding categories that were missing. Thanks to that, you can now enjoy a powerful "filters" panel that allows you to find the exact type of games you are looking for.
Nicer Game Blocks
The games are now displayed in a way that is consistent with the omnibar search. The quick overview of the game when your mouse hovers over it should be very helpful when you are exploring the games looking for a new one to try. It is worth noticing that their design is still a work in progress and will be improved in the future, but it is already better than before.
Custom Lists (Premium Feature)
You can now create custom list of games using the "Add to list" feature (after selecting the "+" button on a game).
You can for example create a list of games "My best games for Turn-based," or "Games to play with family," or any list that suits your needs.
And More ...
... but best is to try it out yourself
And Now?
We are happy to see that you are already familiar with our previous changes (player panel, friends panel, search bar, ...) and our stats show that you are using them a lot! We hope that you will like this one as well.
As we said in the previous months: this is not the last update, and more changes are coming to BGA to make this service faster, more intuitive, and easier to use. Changes are always difficult, but to see you using this service more and more is our best reward.
