I was hooked on BGA for its wide range of selection but soon I realised it took so much effort to learn new games and explaining it to my friends. Is there any advice on how to pick up new games ?

Hey everyone,

Is there an official list or does anyone know current player numbers/stats for which games have the most active Arena queues right now?

Just looking for the absolute biggest active communities on Board Game Arena regardless of genre or complexity. Any data or insights?

Thanks!

I have complained about people playing a regular speed game and then complaining in the chat that people need to play faster.

Today i saw this happen again in a chat and i wanted to report this person for being 1 a dick and 2 for harassing people while no one expired their time or even came close.

When going through the report menu i noticed you cannot report someone for harassing someone about playtime while their within the bounds of the rules, BUT YOU CAN REPORT SOMEONE FOR PLAYING TO SLOW?!?!

What the …. happened in this world?

Does anyone know how long it takes for an appeal to be viewed and if clicking the blocked screen acknowledging the moderation means I lose my right to appeal?

Background - I received a moderation and 10 ELO points for insulting someone in the chat. The lines of text they highlighted in said chat were not insults and dont' seem to align with their own policy. I submitted an appeal via the contact us function but in the mean time i can't seem to bypass the pop up screen on the front page unless I tick I understand to:

"i have read the moderation report, and acknowledge this behaviour will result in stronger penalties if repeated".

We I don't acknowledge the behaviour since it wasn't an insult. So I don't feel i should be forced to tick 'i understand' and wondering whether in doing so it means the appeal I already lodged then gets wiped.

Hi all, looking to buy a tablet mainly for BGA and would love to hear from people who actually play on one.

Mostly 7 Wonders Duel, Azul, Toy Battle and Heat, and maybe something heavier like Barrage later on.

I'm leaning towards the Xiaomi Pad 7 or the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen2, mainly because of the resolution. But I'm open to anything, so if you're happy with yours I'd love to know what it is.

Also curious whether you'd go for a handy 11" or a big 13" if you were buying now.

Any experiences or opinions welcome, thanks!

Hi everyone. I’m looking for a recommendation for a card game to play with my wife that has the following features:

- Cards only (or at most a small board)

- Competitive 1v1

- Somewhat thematic (fantasy or horror; no sci-fi).

We often play *Dracula vs. Van Helsing*, *Radlands*, *Gwent*, or *Deep Regrets*.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Oof.

I find it funny that theyre so fast to respond to false claims and moderate an accout, but all of the suddent they go radio silent when one gives arguments about it being a false report and demands an apology in return. Talking about the web/app itself btw not the Reddit.

I have been playing a lot of Zombicide since it was added on BGA. I have noticed a person who will host several Tutorials simultaneously. They show up day after day looking for 1-2 players. The tutorial is fairly short. Do you think he is doing to for achievements? I can't imagine it would be fun to play the tutorial over and over again. I am not judging, just wondering what someone would get out of plying the tutorial over and over again.
