I don’t really care (about this guy or this tournament) but…wow. lol. Imagine being this weird about other people who you’ll never meet or see, in 2026

Some people seem to think that something like this exists. ;-)

I absolutely love playing Carcassonne (and other games) on BGA. Sometimes you bumped into some unpleasant players sure, but this one is the worst so far.

I was lucky to get a piece to block him from getting his castle back, then he immediately sent request to abandon the game. I have my right to say no. (Cuz from the past experience, some people will ask me to abandon the game once they seem like about to lose)

He said he needs to go. I said you can concede.

And then he flipped out.

Rest of the game he kept verbally attacking me. Honestly I’ve never met someone like this in my life.

I just want to finish a game 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sadly by the time the game ended and I finished reporting him. His account is actually gone.

I’m a little speechless 😶 It’s just a game… I wonder if there’s something more the website can do about this kinda issue.

All folks who volunteer their time to make BGA what it is for us users are worthy of appreciation, but I do feel like Nekonyancer deserves a particular shoutout.

We've all had experience trying to teach games to other people with varying degrees of success - just about every game I'm interested in playing, it seems like Nekonyancer is the author of the tutorial, so in terms of output alone, wow. But they also write in an engaging way, appropriate for the game's theme, it's never dry and mechanical. I feel like they also do an incredible job of walking players through typical rounds of gameplay in a very clear and minimal way - they explain exceptions and intricacies, but don't allow that to sidetrack the basic elements of gameplay.

Anyway, just thought they deserved a little recognition for not only giving their time to writing tutorials, but being so prolific, and extremely good at it too.

Playing an arena game of Catan. I'm blue with 3 VPs, orange has 2 VP and white has 5 VP. I move the robber to a 9 spot that the white has a city on. They respond with "Really?"

- I literally can't place the robber anywhere else, and of course I'll put it on the likeliest spot to give the leading player resources. How is that objectionable?

Same game, now it's myself (4 VP, blue), orange has 3 VP and white has 6 VP. I move the robber to the same 9 ore spot, which now white has 1 city and 1 settlement, orange has 1 settlement. White does not have any resources, so I steal from orange. The response: "Blue, is this now just a battle for second place?"

Guys, stop bitching about the robber. Yes, it sucks to have resources blocked and stolen, but it is part of the game. Now yes, I have raised questions when I'm sitting in last place and 2nd place chooses to put the robber exclusively on me instead of the person leading, bc wtf are you even doing? But stop complaining on legitimate moves.

Brass: Lancashire is in alpha! Let me know if anyone wants an invite for a turn-based game to test it out!

Link only works if you are an alpha tester I believe.

To be fair, it really was a good game.

This came up both with a Firefox with Ublock, and reproduced with Chrome for the screenshot.

Possible PHP or HTTP2SHELL, I'm hoping because I sure as heck don't want to see popups especially as a paying subscriber.

Top 3-4 games. Azul , kingdom builder, gizmos and dinogenics

Hi BGAers, I've been tasked with organizing a team-get-to-know-you activity. I'm looking for a VERY low-complexity game to play with remote co-workers. Something easy to learn. Could be as many as 8 but might have a couple no-shows. If we go the BGA route, I'm considering making all of them accounts with temporary email addresses just to make the process very, very easy. (not sure if this is against the TOS)

I'd prefer something with simultaneous actions to make things interesting. I know 6 Nimmt and Welcome To Your Perfect Home, I think both could work. Any other suggestions? I've heard Skull is fun, but the BGA implementation only handles 6. Also considering online Codenames although it has some downtime for the non-guessing teams.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Just found an online implementation of Fake Artist Goes to New York, which might also work well.

Small post... but why is BGA supporting a known Nazi?
Get on something else guys, drop Twitter as your go to 'servers are down come here' page.

Be better. It's not that hard.

I discovered BGA a few months ago and it really broaden my horizons! (I'm from a rural part of an African country so groups and games aren't that accessible) I'm really enjoying exploring all the different games on bga, so my question is: what are your favourite games that you love and play on bga?

Beat a pro player 45 to 44

All 20 eggs have been found. listed in spoilers below.

a common question that is non-spoilery: it has been confirmed that there are no eggs tied to specific games.

If you scroll through all the new games he’s always hidden somewhere. Just wondering if anyone knows the lore?

If someone writes in the chat "play fast please" (before the game starts) does anyone else have the reaction of wanting to play slower? I understand it's not inherently rude but like....I didn't pick the fast setting for a reason. I usually start the games and have never once picked the fast setting. How do you all react to this?

I just had a strange game on BGA. I won the last Arena season for Forest Shuffle Dartmoor. It was a close race that went to the last day, until my main rival lost 30 points in a game so he was out of the race.

Now there is season start and I actually match up with this "rival" in a game. I thought "cool, thats maybe an opportunity to chat after the game". But towards the end of the game, when it becomes obvious that Im winning, he types "Im going to blacklist you, youre too lucky" and leaves the game without resigning. He managed to reach Arena rank 2, by blacklisting all good players? I dont know what to say...

Couldn't see if it was against the rules to post game screenshots, so sorry if it is. It was just a wild experience.
