All the relevant info when you want to rematch a player is not visible on the entry screen. I cannot see the players, I cannot see if they are joining, for everything you have to scroll down. Why is the 7 Wonders Duel logo so big? Why is the elo ranking so big? Why am I previewing a game? Its not a game I am playing myself? I want to watch a random game?

It's a very confusing screen, none of the most important info that I need is visible. Why would I want the tags of the game to be top right? That's not important info. I already know I am playing 7 wonders duel, I just clicked it. Why does it need to take up almost 25% of the screen?

Did you A/B test this screen versus other options?

Funnily, I wrote a topic on basically the same issue:

What you are discussing is the single-game mode. It is also the one you go through if you try a new game from "the games", as well as if you accept an invitation.
Everything used to go through the main lobby, which was better for me (and others)*, and I think it would be great if BGA gave the option of "changing the default mode", that is to say making them go through the main (original) lobby instead of the single-game mode.

*: I actually think it's straight up better, objectively, as the single-game mode gives you less info and freedom without bringing anything clear, but it's supposed to be easier and more accessible, and was labeled and promoted as such by the developers, and maybe some players, especially the new players, find it that way, so I keep understanding and just call for players' liberty to choose. If possible.

Right. It should not switch to the new lobby for rematch.
