Board Game Arena

Usually we don't communicate very much about BGA - we prefer to work on new games and improving the platform. To fix this we decided to launch a questions&answers about any BGA related subject (how it works? why it works this way? who are we?...).

Please ask questions about BGA on this post comment, and we will select the most interesting one and publish an answer. Please avoid questions that are already in the BGA FAQ.

If this idea is successful, we will repeat it regularly.

Important: 1 question per member. You can ask the same question than another member to make it more popular and increase its chance to be selected

What are your priorities now, eg.
- fixing bugs in game
- "improving games", eg. streamlining turn-based games.
- improving your computer infrastructure
- getting more games

Are any games in the "Most Wanted Games" box on the home page, currently being developed and if so, any scheduled to launch this year?

I very much like the turn-based game mode. Do you plan to introduce faster turn-based game speeds?

Are any games in the "Most Wanted Games" being develop?

What are you doing to address server lag? I've gotten a number of "out of time" marks because of how slow the server response time can get. Is there any way you could rig it so that time waiting for a response from the server doesn't count as used thinking time?

Are you planning mobile version of your webpage or aplication for Android? Desktop version does not work steadly on mobile phones, there are olso bugs in some games (e.g. Through the Ages)?

The same question - are u planning a mobile version?

And also, it's not a question, but big thanks for this website. I think it's pretty uniqual in web, I like very much your work

I would like to know how many players play a single game. I see the new groups created for every game and from there I can read the information but a player can go out from group and the information will be lost.

Have nice rolls!

I'm a game designer who would love to see his game appear on BGA. What's the best way to go about it?

(I tried the BGG list, but it's so full of big IP games that would never get made on BGA that it's mostly invisible.)

The developers are self-directed volunteers, right? Is there a way to let them know that my game is an option for them?
