Board Game Arena

When you play a game, and then it's finished, you can see the "final situation" and/or the "game results" for that game... but maybe I missed this - the actual name of the game is nowhere to be found Normally I wouldn't care, but I played a new Beta game today, and when we finished, I went to write it down to log later in my games played list... and I couldn't remember the actual name of the game (specifically how it was spelled)... and... huh... I could not find it anywhere on that page.

So is it there somewhere and I just missed it?

But if not... I mean, this would be a good thing to have, right? Either off to the right side, or at the top of the page, or just above the winner's name... or something..?

This may not be satisfactory to you, but in the URL of the page where you see the final situation, it should have the name of the game. For example:
https://boardgamearena.com/6/insert?table=328088841

You can find your last game on your profil : https://boardgamearena.com/player?section=lastresults

So first off: it IS there! I finally found it. The reason I didn't see it right away is that for most BGA games you have to scroll down a bit... but... it's right there in the banner above the "How to Play/Options/etc" section. I mean, I knew it kinda HAD to be there somewhere.

And secondly yes, I knew I could find the game name in my profile... and also in the URL (though that's not always the exact name of the game). Those are perfectly fine *workarounds* IMO, but, it just seemed silly to me that it wouldn't be on the game page itself.

And in case anyone wondered (::crickets::), when each game I play ends, I write down the game name and the result so that I can put it into my personal games played db later. And if it's a new-to-me game, I especailly want to get the spelling right. And yes, I know I could write that down *before* I play :p
