Two cats, Apollo (an orange fluffy cat) and Starbuck (a gray fluffy cat), are shown looking very grumpy in a series of scenes, while off-panel, we humans discuss how modern board game boxes are getting smaller. We praise the change, saying it’s better, saves space, and is good for the environment. In the final panel, we even say that we see absolutely no downsides to game boxes getting smaller these days. In the panel, we see Starbuck and Apollo trying to sit in tiny board game boxes (Deckers and General Orders: Sengoku Jidai) and it clearly doesn't fit and they look rather miserable.

New comic! As board game boxes shrink, we must not forget the unseen victims of this industry shift. 😿

When logging a play, on the expansion selection screen, tap the + button to select any game. Your choice will be remembered.

You can also Edit a game to change the properties to Expansion, but this is not necessary to be able to log it as expansion.

Thanks for offering, but we're currently not set-up to accept outside contributions to the app. ^E

We don't support tie-breakers on score sheets, because they can differ wildly per game and you can already change the winner manually. Answers to this and other questions about score sheets can be found here: www.bgstatsapp.com/score-sheets/ ^E

It's on the wishlist (www.bgstatsapp.com/board-game-s...). ^S

Thanks, I'll look into adding that. ^E

Can you be more specific in which data was lost? ^E

But beware that this will reset all view options you've set before.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This will bring you back to the Games list (if you did not set the grid view for that status). Until the update switching to the list you had when you set grid view is not possible, unless you select "Use current view settings as default" in the green gear icon menu.

2/3

Sorry that is happening, we've submitted an update that should fix the crashing issue to the Play store.

In the mean time, since the view setting is remembered per list, you can go back to the Games list by tapping on one of the Collection statuses under Collection on the Overview page.
