Board Game Arena

I remember there used to be an option to host to prevent anyone not over 75 reputation from joining. This seems like an incredible feature for the site to use, but I forgot where it was for Bang. Anyone remember?

It's the same for every game. Do you use the old lobby (Play now page) or the new lobby (Bang game page) to open a table?

Click on the small red door icon (near the top right of the game creation area). This will take you to a drop-down menu of restrictions.

In theory, BGA should remember your settings as the default after you do this once, but in practice it doesn't always happen for me.

Not sure of names, but I've used both the game page where your favorites, etc. are listed and viewed the specific game itself where you can check for tables. The specific game seems to offer more options.

I have a green people door, which offers some options, but only goes to at least 75 reputation. I know at one point there was one that went further and BGA's system was going "we don't advise this... etc." So I'm wondering if there was yet another page I had found before that I'm not seeing now.

Go to Play Now -> Create Game -> Restrict table access, and you should still see an 'over 85% reputation' option.

Sorry for the late reply, didn't see your post. I'm not finding a Create Game option after Play Now. Where is it located?

Sorry, first you need to click on one of your favourited games, then the 'Create a new table' option appears at the side of the game box image.

If you want to start a game which is not in your favourites yet, scroll down. Below your favourites you find a second search bar, which allows you to start a non-favourite game in the "old lobby". Then continue like GeraldineMerida has described.

It will mark the game as a favorite, though.
