Board Game Arena

I would like to play turn based tournament games on my phone but I am unable to see what cards other players reserved.
Does anyone know how to see the reserve cards? (not the hidden ones of course). This is critical for the game.
Thank you

U can't. Have to memorize

Maybe you could take a note on the game notes

This is frustrating. Even on the web, having to go through the move history to find each card one by one is clunky and annoying.

Since you _can_ always know what cards others have reserved if you just wrote them down yourself, I don't see any reason for BGA to make it hard. Why not just let you click on the tiny reserved cards icon on another player, and show you all of them?

Can anyone think of a reason why the game shouldn't have a feature like that?

Good luck to memorize it during turn based games where people can reserve cards while you're not even online to begin with. Especially, when it's their first move of the game and you haven't even seen the board yet. I often have to login on bga on pc just to check what they have reserved.
While memorization may work in real time, in turn based games it doesn't.

It's not always the easiest but you can often get the hover in the log if you long-press.

I can see why some would think remembering this is part of the skill of the game but given the balance how relatively easy it is to view in the log anyway and how hard it is to catch when playing turn-based I also would prefer it's just shown in the interface directly

Somewhat related, when playing turn based, does anyone know if we can somehow see what card a player reserved? The game log just says "player X reserved a card from row 2".

The game already allows you to see which card was reserved within the game log when you are playing on a computer. You simply hover over the underlined "visible card". If there isn't a "visible card" underlined log message, that means the player reserved a non-visible card and thus you can't see it.

I agree that mobile should be able to see this info. However, BGA's biggest fail on mobile is hover tooltips since you cannot hover on a mobile device. More devs need to remember to do focus as well as hover.

This means they chose to reserve the top card of the row 2 deck. So, no... you aren't allowed to know it.

They reserved a visible card, but I couldn't see it on my tablet. Works on pc, thank you!

Rotate the screen on your phone, then game interface looks same as on pc,check game log！
