Players Wanted

I’m the one who created the game so it couldn’t be me

#30

Yeah, I guess it was me—no idea how and why. I’ve been playing other games in the app multiple times per day and never saw a turn notification for that one.

#31

Does the person who started the game always go first? I was pretty sure last time I checked (since I”m not sure about notifications) it had @whovian223 with 3 hours left on the timer.

#32

Is it just me or is player identification and turn order a little confusing (at least on the iPad)? I haven’t actually played an online game yet, but that one I was just invited to didn’t indicate very well what we were waiting on. I actually thought it was my turn for a few minutes and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t make my move.

But I could just be an idiot.

I think it’s pretty confusing. From what I’ve figured out:

  • When a new game is starting, if you see a ?, that indicates a slot that a player hasn’t joined.

  • Once the game has started, if looking at your game list, an hourglass over the player avatars indicates it isn’t your turn, while a series of right arrows indicates it is your turn.

Figuring out if it’s your turn while you’re looking at the game is trickier … it’s your turn if you’re actually allowed to take a move, but other than that … ?

I saw a a question mark and an hourglass each time I checked, which is why I didn’t go into the game

#35

Should we try again?

#36

I’m up for it!

#37

@geigerm @Hardco do you want to try that again?

#38

Yeah, I’m in.

#39

Me too.

#40

Ok, it’s created!

#41

Sorry, now it’s set up. And I see a 72-hour timer!

will it be the replacement for Terraforming Mars in the Decathlon?
or will it take the 10th slot?

in any case i think i should be prepared and start to play.
so take me in for the next game, please.

#45

I’m also open for another one

#46

I don’t think it’s well suited for the decathlon, what with the auto kick after 24h?

#47

I believe it is 72 hours now.

My biggest gripe is the notifications. How long have iPhones existed? Over a decade? Since their inception there have been 3 types of notifications - banners of some sort, icon badges, and sounds. Why is it so hard for anyone to get it right? Wingspan only uses banners so if someone is in the habit of swiping them out or not checking them frequently they won’t know they are up. Minor gripe, I know, but I don’t get it…

Other than that, the game is great. I’d play it for the decathlon. Why would we need it to replace Terraforming Mars, though? I’m in a game that seems to be working perfectly fine.

Are most here playing TfM and Wingspan via Steam or IOS or both?
