Which game would you love to play here?
@Sjepetok Food Chain is already playable on another site fyi!
Eclipse - implementation should be easier because the system is very similar to Gaia, although there are dice rolls... Not without errors, but a nice (basic) version of Eclipse existed on Steam (with interesting variant: a game without rockets), unfortunately nowadays can't play it online.
@cneessen The same polish company had an app and a game on steam - they closed everything around two years ago.
For all those interested in FCM mind that it is already playable online for free so i don’t know if it makes much sense to make another implementation
@stross and spirit Island ? Not competitive, but a great and complex game !
Löwenherz (Klaus Teuber) Version 1997! Lionheart :-) Should be very easy to create a digital version.

There are a lot of games that I would dearly love to see online implementations of. These are the ones which top the list:
- Amerigo
- Anachrony
- AquaSphere
- Barrage
- Bora Bora
- Dominant Species
- Evo
- Francis Drake
- Grand Austria Hotel
- Last Train To Wensleydale
- Madeira (the implementation on BGA has painful issues which they do not intend to fix. It's a crime for such a fine game.)
- NMBR 9
- Pipeline
- Silk
- Sol: Last Days Of A Star
I am a software developer professionally, and I'd be glad to try and help implement one of these games. However, I've never done web development or worked with GUIs. My career has been spent mostly in the Unix/Linux world. Most recently I've been developing in Python and Go, but historically I've also worked in C and Java. But I'm always happy to learn new languages and skills. If you have any pointers on where to start, I'd be happy to see how I can help.

I had a colleague once who loved to remark that many programming projects were easy until you were the one who had to do them. :)
- Barrage (only played a handful of games, but love the interaction in this one)
- Bora Bora (my favorite Feld, lovely dense euro, shame there's no place to play it online yet)
- Dominant Species
- AquaSphere
- Spirit Island
@mitcharf https://www.boardgamers.space/docs describes how to add any javascript-based boardgame to the platform, but it's still a bit complicated
I know what you mean. It's easy to say that it's easy. ;-) But in relation to Gaia, Löwenherz is really easy. It has a simple board. The rules for placing on the board are simple. There are no player-boards. There is only one ressource (money). You play in simple order and there are not too many options in a single move. So let me say: Löwenherz is much easier than Gaia! :-)
Barrage is my #1 and Brass: Birmingham is #2. Would love the option to play without advanced tech tiles for Barrage as well.
Barrage! With expansion as well. The only game close to Gaia complexity and replayability atm.
Great Western Trail Forbidden Stars Tyukuyiumi Full Moon Down Mage Knight Twilight Imperium 4
I recommend to implement those games that there is no implementation elsewhere.
My vote would be:
- Kemet
- Great Western Trail
Thanks everybody.
Site's been revived, any new suggestions welcome!
