Board Game Arena

Hello,

I’m a player who loves Lost Cities and even subscribed to Board Game Arena just to play it.

First of all, I’m sorry for posting this here as it’s not meant for complaints. I felt it was urgent, and I will delete this post as soon as the issue is resolved.

I agree that the new graphics better reflect the real version and that they are more beautiful. However, I would really appreciate it if you could also acknowledge that the game has become less convenient to play.

Of course, some people may play in a comfortable environment, but in many cases we play during short breaks at work, on the subway, or in between daily activities. From that perspective, the updated version is quite difficult to play on mobile devices. I would be grateful if you could recognize this issue.

Please consider ensuring a comfortable gameplay experience for everyone. You’ve always said that you listen to your users—so if this many Lost Cities players are feeling inconvenienced, what value does beauty alone really bring?

I kindly ask you to reconsider.

+++++First of all, the game doesn’t fit on a single screen and gets cut off. To play a card, I have to scroll down to place it, then scroll back up to check the game state. Considering that there are as many as 20 cards to play in a single round, this is very inconvenient.

I play on mobile only and don't have the issue as described. However, my screen shifts and shakes whenever a new card is played to adjust to fit the newly played cards (or something to that effect). I used to be able to play 10+ games in one sitting but now I feel dizzy after just one game.

Clearly there are many issues to resolve not just those related to the colors and art style of the new edition. Hopefully BGA, despite their connection to the publishing world, cares enough to make improvements.

I don’t think they’ll be doing that.

Have you read their reply to all the feedback?!

THIS!! I was so dizzy after my first play through with the new graphics, it absolutely killed the game for me. Prior to the change, I was playing multiple times almost every day.

my comfort game has been taken from me the only reason I subscribed to BGA
