Board Game Arena

Hi,

I haven't found the answer anywhere on the forum unfortunately, not even in the bugs related forum.
I play on a mobile phone. For many cards, the text is too long to be shown fully. There is a grey line on the right side of the card that's supposed to allow you to scroll and see the end of the text, but it's absolutely doesn't word on mobile. I've tried everything: zooming, using two fingers, increasing the size of the cards in settings... Nothing works.
It's really impossible to play without seeing the full text of the card during the draft...

Can anyone tell me how I can manage to see the whole text of a card?

Thanks!

If you are playing in English, a slightly rubbish workaround would be to look up the card in Lumin’s unofficial compendium:

As a bonus, you can see if there are any errata/notes on how the card works.

Thank you!
I'm not playing in English but I've been trying to find this kind of compendium where I could search by card number. All the ones I could find online worked by card name which was not useful... So I will use this now, thanks!

Hopefully a more efficient solution exists/can be put in place. It's mostly a case of bad UX.
But at least I can play now

Hi Shyrma, do you happen to know which cards this affects? I know one of the developers once reduced the font size on a bunch of cards to prevent this from happening, but it's possible we've added new cards since then and forgot to give them the same treatment.

Related to this are cards that are played and are action spaces. I don't know how to read the text without placing the person there if it is my turn.

Just use the safe/help mode ?

Hi! Actually it's a LOT of cards in French. I'd say around a third? Words and sentences are longer in that language unfortunately...
I keep playing in Engish for now but I'm lucky I am fluent! For others it may not be this easy

On Android my workaround is to mark the text to copy&paste. While it's marked, it's possible to scroll by fingers

Edit: when I tried it again, I was able to scroll the text even without marking. Maybe the problem was fixed recently.
