Board Game Arena

As of a few months ago, I have been unable to view replays of games that I have played in. Has anyone else had this issue?

I only started playing Splendor sometime last year so I don't remember if this changed, but as far as I remember, replays in Splendor here have always been a total mess.

Replay continues to work in most other games I play on BGA, when when I try to replay any Splendor moves, lots of actions seem to happen at once, the sound effects start before any actions and don't seem to correspond, and the face up cards taken from the table don't get replaced in a sensible way, usually leaving an uneven arrangement of cards that makes it seem like the moves replayed did not follow the rules. I think replay in Splendor is just broken.

Does it actually work reasonably for anyone else here?

The replays work correctly for me.

Why you want to watch replays

Sometimes people wish to study a previously-played game to try to improve their skill at that game.
Or, to check whether a bug occurred.

Got it

I play only turn based games, not real time. That means when it's my turn, I have not seen anyone else's turn since my previous turn. I may want to see which card they picked up, what pieces they picked up, and so on. Sometimes the information is in the game log but it's VERY hard to read on this game; even if it were always easy to read it can be nice to just see the moves I missed.

After a game is over, if it was close or if someone surprised me, I may want to see how they built up their strategy from the start of the game, by going through the replay step by step. I can probably remember what I was thinking at each point, and this lets me guess what they were thinking.

Yes, exactly.
