This is an interesting cooperative game, that is easily adaptable in BGA. I donot know how successful it would be. But I just want to bring it to the notice of the community. Here is a link about the game:

Many of my friends who I play in person, enjoy this game.

I love The Mind, but isn't it a classic example of a game that couldn't possibly work played online?
Turn-based is obvioiusly a complete non-starter (you have no idea if other players haven't played for ages because their lowest card is high, or if they simply haven't been able to get online recently). Real-time could in theory, but for me that would lead to it basically becoming a game of guesswork - the game irl is (to me, anyway) all about reading body language to try to figure out whether your next card is higher or lower than another player's. It would reduce a really interesting game about reading human beings into little more than a game of pure randomness.

If a fairly simple game is not on BGA, it's probably due to the lack of license approval.
Also, as above not every game is appropriate for online adaptation.
