I'm only interested in playing public 4-player games with hidden bank cards, either fast or very fast. at high traffic times I'm scrolling through soo many games in the lobby and entering/leaving to check the game set up. Would love to be able to filter games to see only those I would want to play.

Schunkadunka MergedFor those who like 2p & 3p games. If you can see other people in the same lobby (2p/3p), you know others are down to play that game type. Instead of people joining the game then leaving when they see its 2p or 3p.

Esqarrouth Admin MergedWait, what do you actually propose here? There is a max players setting? There is a room name setting?

Schunkadunka MergedCreate different lobbies for those game types. So you know there are other people in the lobby who also want to play 2p or 3p instead of setting up a game and hoping people will be willing to play.

Esqarrouth Admin MergedHow would these new lobbies look?

Schunkadunka MergedSame as the normal lobby.
Maybe below "your name" and above "Players in Rooms," have tabs (or links) to a "3 Player Lobby" and "2 Player Lobby." You can click one of those links and it would bring you to a new lobby that would be set up exactly like the current one. -

GemmaThis would be a great idea. I'm looking for very fast public games, for instance. Currently we need to wade through all the normal, fun, private, etc. Also -- filter out games with 4 people in them that are unjoinable anyhow?

NeilYes, at a minimum I want to be able to filter by game speed (normal vs fast vs very fast)

shiksb MergedExperienced players often want to filter the rooms by "very fast". If we could filter rooms that would make this process easier. Currently we have to randomly go into rooms and check if we like the rules.

ZumorAgree! Normally only looking for fast games, and going in and out of games to see if it's set to exactly that. Also suggest very fast should be 40 sec. it's almost impossible to make trades. It would still be a lot faster than fast games :)

Del MergedSometimes we just want to play Catan and not select 1,000 options! Would be great if there was a “Play now” button that entered you into a pool of standard game players, and put all of the game variants (hidden/not; points to win; color; in a “custom match” tab.
All of these options are great, but starting a quick game shouldn’t always take 25 clicks (especially as new features are added). Having a ‘quick game’ option would allow you to clean up the interface and keep the variants for thos -

Del MergedHacker version of this is to “name” the game after the features selected. I.e. name changes to “Fast, Hidden Game” in real time as those are selected. That way you don’t have to join and quit a bunch of games to play what you want.
