When searching for games, you always have the option to press the button to add more flexibility to your preferences in order to find a game more quickly. But for some reason BGA frequently presses this button for me and will search for games with undesirable player counts.
This is a frustration for me, as I'm often playing on mobile, and when it takes me to the "Accept" screen, I have to scroll down to see all the players that have joined. Therefore, it's easy to accidentally accept games I would otherwise turn down. For example, I play a TON of Sea Salt and Paper. I love the game, but only at two players. Adding a third player not only makes the game far less interesting and more random, it also takes a snappy ten minute experience and stretches it to at least half an hour. Several times now, I've had to abandon three player games I've accidentally accepted because I only had enough time for a two player game.
Considering the button is there to allow me to change my preferences anyway, I'm not sure why this is even a feature in the first place.
