Detaljerad beskrivning
• Var vänlig klipp och klistra in felmeddelandet du ser på skärmen, om något.
On the game detail page (example: boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=kingsguild), there is no button to start playing the game! This is incredibly annoying. The big button is "Add to Favorites" or "Remove From Favorites". I don't want to mess with favorites, I just want to start a new table of the game right away.• Varsågod och förklara vad du ville göra, vad du gjorde och vad som hände

Rapporthistorik
(The OP in a different suggestion suggests clicking the "add to favorites" button to shorten this, but why would I do that? It's not one of my favourites yet; I haven't even played it yet! And even if this is the intended pathway, that's not *obvious* to someone on the game page who just wants to play the game—nothing about the "add to favorites" button suggests "psst, if you want to play, you should click this button".)
BGA team, you must at least give a big "play now" button on this page (if you don't want to give a "create table" button because you're trying to encourage the automatic or arena mode instead of manual mode).
Now, it is also not normally a problem to make a move on a "Turn Based" game and to go back to the start page, but in this instance, the person whom I was playing was online, and we began to play the game in real time. The next problem that occurred is that there is no prompt that an automatic "Real Time" game, whether "Arena Mode" or not, has started when you are currently playing another "Turn Based" game. If it is a "Simple Mode" game, then the game just won't start. However, if it is an "Arena Mode" game, it starts automatically, you are removed from the game, and receive penalties for abandoning the game.
I am including a screenshot of the notice that I received of my loss in Battle Sheep as soon as I finished my game of Nine Men's Morris.

There was no way for me to know that the game began, until I had already lost.
One of the primary goals of "Arena Mode" play is to foster an environment where people play games more freely. I assume that is the reason that players are not allowed to leave "Arena Mode" games. To prevent players from being able to screen their opponents.
There is, however, an alternative. If the names of players were not displayed until the game actually begins, then players would not be able to screen their opponents. This would allow the standard "Real-Time" game features to be implemented in "Arena Mode."
Currently for "Real-Time" games, if a player does not start the game, there is no penalty, because the game does not start. The same could be done in "Arena Mode." If a player does not choose to start their game within a short time period, they could be replaced with the next available player. If there are no other available players, then the table could just wait for the player to return.
Now, the other players also should not be penalized, if this turns out to be an extended period of time, so all players should be prompted to start the game again, if it takes more than a minute for the game to begin.
That is how I feel the problem should be resolved, but in the mean time, if you allow a player to go to a "Turn Based" game from the "Play Now" page with pending "Real Time" games, you would either prompt to cancel the games, or open the "Turn Based" game in a new tab.
FYI:
There is also a bug report that suggest not penalizing players who do not start a game. Fixing this bug could resolve this issue.

There is another bug that suggest anonymous play throughout the entire game.

Anyway, I agree that having to add a game to your favorites just to play it, from the description page seems a bit odd (because maybe it's not a favorite game), especially because it didn't always used to be like this.
After having looked up a game that looks fun you currently either have to go:
"Play Now" -> "(scroll to) 'Find a game'" -> "type its name" -> "Play Now!"
OR
"Add to Favourites" -> "Play Now" -> "(scroll to find it in) Favourites" -> "Play Now!"
Neither are good UI.
Surely it wouldn't take that much effort to put a link to the lobby page with a query variable attached (e.g. /lobby?game=loveletter or whatever ID is most convenient) and then in a tiny piece of JavaScript detect if the variable "game" is found and just follow the identical process that would be initiated if the "Play Now!" button were manually pressed from the lobby system directly...
#gamepanel-module #create_new_table {
display: block !important;
}
Or if you would like to be a Guinea pig for a lot of my CSS tinkering... github.com/paul-norman/bga-css (can't promise that everything will work, just improving as I find issues).
Except for Rodney, not because he disagrees with us, but because he went off on other problems that should be in another report and have nothing to do with this issue.
And Paul, thanks for the info - but everyone doesn't know what to do with what you're doing. (And we shouldn't have to fix their code.)
I was linked to a game page and wanted to play it and it was a lot of work to go back to "Play Now" and find the game to play.
A direct link from the "Game Detail" page to the "Play now" page with that game expanded would be awesome!
