Is there a way to see all tables are currently waiting for players?

I seem to only be able to see the tables from one game at a time (the game I'm currently looking at). The problem is I tend to visit BGA during quieter times and it takes too long to find a table with an open seat.

I guess there's that General Messages chat in the corner but that only shows a few messages back and that's not the best way to browse for what I'm looking for.

It’s a little hidden, but it is super easy to see all the tables for your “Favorite” games that are looking for players, and then from there you can get to a listing for all other games.

At the top of the screen, click “play now”. Go to “Simple Game” and either Real-time or Turn-based depending on what you like, and then “Manual” for the third drop down. Now you can see all the games with open tables. Below that, finally, is a button for “See all available tables for all games”, if you really want to do that…
