I'm looking for a good three player game to play with my two adult sons. We will not be playing live. We lean towards Ameritrash, but are flexible. Thank you!

I like to try really hard games but I'm not very good. I'm a paid subscriber now so have started "friendly no time-limit" games to try to get the hang of them. Is this a good way to go about this? Should I limit who can join me ? These are tough games my family plays so I do prefer to try these games specifically rather than easier ones, thanks for other suggestions you may have too! I find the tutorials are really nice but I just can't get the hang of things without really doing it myself.

Don't have any friends to play with. What are the top "must play" games that you guys recommend for solitary?

Sometimes I'm playing against someone and they have something up that says it's their first time playing so their turn time is doubled. They also have ELO in the game. I assume I'm misunderstanding something, is ELO for all games played on BGA ? I thought it was to a specific game so you could have a low number in one game and a higher somewhere else, thanks for any info.

Just curious what people have discovered and are playing on BGA lately.

I've recently been trying to play train games and am really enjoying Railways of the World. Unfortunately they're not super popular on the platform, so it's difficult to get real time games.

What are you playing these days?

I was just wondering how BGA works on an iPad? Which iPad are you using (Mini, Air or Pro)? Anything you wish the iPad you have would do better to work with BGA? Is the iPad to Mini too small for BGA? Especially for those of us with older eyes. haha

I am thinking of getting an iPad and trying to decide which version to get.

I recently play White Castle and Harmonies solo as well as multiplayer on BGA. It seems that solo games count as non-won games towards the winrate.

So my winrate in Harmonies is obnoxiously low (11%) because I played many solo games and only few multiplayer games. Same for White Castle.

Has this issue been discussed? I think solo games should be excluded from winrate calculations.
