What is this report about?
What happened ? Please select from below
Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
I understand the game has just been launched into Alpha, however, it would be nice to have options as to how you can decide the layout of the player boards and the main board. As the layout is at the moment, I would say the boards are a little too small and I would prefer to be able to have my board bigger then the other player boards as an option.• What is your browser?

There are zoom buttons (at the top left of the main board), but they only adjust all the boards and pieces at the same time. Having different zoom levels would be more complicated, because tiles going from one board to another would have to be resized each time. I don't set this suggestion as rejected, to see if a lot of players would really want a layout improvement, but please vote for this suggestion only if you think it's important, and if the current zoom feature (and the possibility to change player boards order in one click) isn't enough. (I won't have much time to work on all the bugs and suggestions, so I'll only choose some, so please vote wisely.)

Two separate views are available in the Lost Ruins of Arnak, but on mobile, the game has to be refreshed pretty often because pieces "shift" when resizing (or going portrait to landscape). Playing via computer and mobile, I had no issues with the layout on this adaptation and if options are limited, I would focus elsewhere.

I don't know about deciding between layouts, but the board and tiles definitely need to be bigger. It is very difficult to see the different tiles, and there is at least enough real estate on my screen for the game to be at least 75% bigger.

@ Fluxist: so you didn't see the zoom buttons in the top left corner (and didn't read the game help page ;) ). As discussed in the game players' group, I need to make them more noticeable. I'm thinking of displaying a message at the beginning of each player's very first played game, to help players notice them.

I have the same problem, it is not only way to small but also the design is horrible which is not the problem of the programmer but of the layout of the game itself. So I would appreciate to overcome that to have the option of switching personally between the old and new version of the game layout. In the old layout the tiles can still be recognized much easier and faster as there is not so much "junk" just to let it look nice around it. Straight forward. With the old layout it was nice playing and almost like on the table, so thanks already for the implementation for this wonderful game!
