Board Game Arena

When a Turn-based game ends, and you didn't happen to be looking at it at the time, the game status screen only shows the final scores, and if you want to go into the game and look at the final situation, the only way to do it, that I can find, is to 'replay' the game, and fastforward to the end, which can take a while.

I'd like a button that simply takes me to the final scoring screen, so I can see what all the end-scoring stuff looked like. Ideally, clicking on the notice of the game's ending in my notifications panel should just take me directly to that place, instead of the table status screen, then I could 'return to main site' as usual when I'm done looking at it.

I agree with you !

This was on my list I'd started of suggestions, mostly related to their turn-based mode, but this would be useful for live as well.

I don't just want to see the end of the game. I'd like to be able to start at the end of the game and back up a few moves in case I want to see these moves for some reason. It's a serious hassle having to play through a game from the beginning, especially a longer game with a lot of turns. Yes, there's a place to enter a turn number, but... I usually would have no guess at all as to what to enter there. Actually, the whole play-back thing can be difficult to use.

Yes! I just ran into this issue, and it would be amazing to have this. Otherwise you have to sit through several minutes of watching the whole game be played out move by move in order to get to the final situation. And then if you want to back up a few moves from there, it doesn't seem that you can. You can only go back to the very beginning again.

Completely agree! Would be great to have the ability to quickly go to the end-game state. And as others have stated, being able to go back in a game replay would be nice. I'm guessing there's probably a complicated technical reason in the game framework why this isn't actually doable, though.

While we're on the topic of replays, it's frustrating that several new games don't even properly support the replay functionality at all. A game like EVO can be really hard to remember where you are in the strategy. But the replay last moves button doesn't work well. The pieces don't move correctly and the pieces that were captured in later moves don't appear at all in the replay. Xiangqi is the same way! It's broken and definitely more confusing than helpful.

Love the site but the replays could use some work!

Hi

Thanks for your messages.

Recently we developped an evolution to make sure the final game situation remains available at least 48 hours after the game end, so you can check the final situation.

About fast game replay : I agree with you but with the current framework replays are unidirectional which makes final moves visualization difficult.
