Board Game Arena

Anybody have an idea of how many people have played Wingspan on BGA? Is there a way to find that on the site?

More than 200000

(Every player who has played the game is automatically added to the group. I believe admins and the developer are also added, even if they never play it. You can leave the group, but I don't think many people bother doing so.)

Using your link I have :

Sorry, an unexpected error has occurred...

You can't view this group: not authorized

>> Get me out of here <<

Is it normal ?

How can we found this good link for another game in BGA ?

Best regards.

I just checked and the link works for me, but I am a member of that group, having played at least one game of Wingspan.

I just tried to find a group for a game that I've not yet played (on BGA), and they don't show up... and I tried multiple titles.

So perhaps this is the reason that you received the (extremely vague—that's BGA for you) error message above.

The "xxx players" groups are private, only visible to members of the group. I assumed the OP (and most people reading this forum) would have played the game and be a member of the group. If you have never played the game, you are not a member and you can't see the group. If you have played the game, but left the group, I don't know if you'd be able to see the group or re-join it. If you have played the game, not left the group, and still can't see it, it may be a bug worth reporting.

I have already played physically to wingspan but not yet in BGA.
That is the reason of the error message I suppose.

Does this link exists for others games in BGA ?
If yes, how can we found it, for example for TTR game ?
Thanks.

Just search for "<game_name> players", but you won't find it if you haven't played the game: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=11342317
(for some games you have to try different spellings/variants of the name).

Ok.
Thanks Jellby.
