player board unclear for beginners
Posted: 07 October 2026, 07:50
I tried learning this game through BGA and had a tough time parsing the player board. Its quite small on the page, and I have no idea what is beneath each tile on the player board. I can somewhat infer what each piece produces from the shape of the piece, but I feel like if the UI lifted the piece off the board when you hovered over it, it would be much easier to know exactly what you're doing. Many other games on BGA do this when you hover over pieces, I think it would help a lot with learning this game.
Another possible solution would be to give a description or show an icon of what each piece produces when its placed, either when clicked on or when hovered. Also just making the player boards a bit bigger in general would help in my opinion, its hard to even see the worker income numbers on my screen.
This game seems pretty fun! but its a bit tough to tell what I'm doing as someone who hasn't played it much.
