Board Game Arena

Just a thought, would being able to see all pending tables help you find a game quicker. Maybe with filters for played and favourite games?

I often don't mind which of a few games I play, so would like to just jump in and crack on

Go to the Play now page https://boardgamearena.com/lobby or to your list of favorites https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?menu=favorite, which both show all your favorite games, or the list of games you have played https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?isRecentlyPlayed=. The ones with open tables have a thin blue frame. If you click on that game icon, you might see and join the tables, if they match with you (real-time or turn-based, normal or arena, language, player experience etc.).
