Board Game Arena

My game group is trying to not have members of the group constantly having to learn new games every time we get together. The idea is that we play several sessions of a few games before we rotate a game out of the queue and replace it with another one.

This has me wondering: could BGA be updated to allow each member to have their favorites as well as a number of other "groups" of games. The name of each of these groups would be set by the user (so I might create a new group and call it "Current Queue"). I could then add and remove games from this new group independent of the favorites list.

Just a thought. Thanks!

Is it possible to show this list on the PLAY NOW page? I only see the FAVORITES list on that page and no option to add/remove others.

We wish, but IIRC they have said they do not want to develop the play now page and eventually force everyone to use the awful new game page lobbies instead. Like most people you find the original version preferable once you become familiar with it. I really don't know why they can't understand that the majority of users prefer the old site, and just update it with the basic improvements people suggested before the awful new lobby pages were developed.

This function already exists. On this page https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist you can create custom lists. For example, I have a list of games that I've seen reviewed that I want to try. To create a list, mouseover a game and on the pop-up click the + symbol, then click "Add to a list."

As far as I can tell, I can't seem to find a straightforward link anymore. I simply put /lobby after the url for board game arena and there it is, the "hidden" page.

i.e. www.boardgamearena.com/lobby

I have yet to find it. The game page lobbies can let you see some of that but only for that specific game and not in as nearly as much detail as you can see at a glance on the "play now" page.
