Where is the all tables page?

Post by Farsen »

Before the new UI update, you could click on "View all current tables" in the right-aligned user menu where you have your active games. This would take you to a page where you could see all tables on BGA sorted by the most played game. I think this was awesome to get an idea of the current most popular games, and to choose what kind of game you would like to try out next.

This page seems to be gone, or is it just hidden somewhere?

You can use the Popular filter on the game list, it's the same result : https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?isPopular=

Hmm not really. I cant see how many players are currently playing a particular game, and how may tables that are currently playing?

Indeed, and it's vastly harder to search then the old text list since I think the new version doesn't have searching.

And, you have to load all the images instead of a simple text list.

Glad to know I´m not the only one who misses this overview. Maybe we can suggest that BGA brings it back again.

No, unfortunately it's not the same result.

What I am missing is:
1. see how many tables are actually played and a feeling of whether it's more turn-based or real-time
2. see how much more played is i.e. item 1 compared to item 10 etc.
3. see what the order of games in the list is based on (# tables played) --> your tag "popular" gives no clue what metric you use. If tomorrow you decide you wanna boost some specific game and just put it on top of the list I wouldn't know and therefore I just can't take that list serious.
4. being able to copy-paste the list of games as text

No. 4 is actually the most inconvenient for me. I used that copy&paste-option a lot to put the list into a google sheet and compare the list with our potential game pool of the allround league to automatically highlight games that are popular but not yet on our radar. It also helped a lot with spell-checking new games or directly copying the names to avoid typos.

However I do not need a list that refreshes permanently. Is there a chance to get an up-to-date list of the old version on request once in a while when we're preparing a new season of our league?
Check out the Allround-League: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=7870115 --> a league where you have matches of random games vs. other players in your group. Season 9 registration oct. '25.
