Board Game Arena

I have been getting into BGA Ark Nova recently. The game is smooth and very very intense and fast-paced at two players. Anyway, I cannot help but feel that the game could be more strategic if I can see the other players' boards and played cards (not just the icons shown on the right-hand side of the screen). Just so that I could analyze what they might be doing better, just like with the physical game. Is there a way to do that? After almost 20 games in, I fear that I might be missing something all these times. Thanks

I'll assume you're playing on a phone, as on a desktop you did be able to see them all on the main screen if I remember correctly.

On a phone interface, there are 2 ways (that I know of) to see your opponents boards/cards.
1 - look at the upper left of your own map. You should see your name with a little arrow on either side. Those arrows scroll through your opponents (i.e. your map/cards/name will disappear and be replaced by an opponent's).
2 - in the upper area where everyone's name/score/summarized info/etc is, there is a little "eye" icon to the right of everyone's name. Tapping on that will cause your map/cards area to disappear and change to the selected opponent's.

Hope that helps!

And yet another thing that is covered by the tour. You should check it out !
