@pangloss I don't see how raising a point about game play is 'making a problem'. This section of the forum is for feature requests and suggestions.

@karen-taylor there's an obvious advantage in going first as you're likely to win the game given similar abilities and a fair distribution of tiles - it's first past the post. Players throwing the game after the first person gets a bingo is a separate issue, and one I also raised recently. Have a read through recent forum posts in this section.

@pangloss you've completely missed the point, but never mind

@thatguythere202 thank you for getting the thread back on track! I've often been refused trying to join a game, only to have the same player attempt to join my hosted game a few minutes later. Once a player knows that you regularly host, they will wait to play your hosted games. Random allocation of first play is the fairest solution, and then alternating first turns for any subsequent games played.

@thatguythere202 that is correct. Furthermore, some players will only play a hosted a game because that they know they will always go first!

Hi, when you host a game you always seem to play second. This seems rather unfair given that you have taken the effort to host the game in the first place. Is there any way of alternating this so that you get to play first sometimes if you're the host?

When a player starts the game with a bingo it's quite common (in my experience) for the opponent to delete the game, or wait 3 minutes so the game is automatically deleted. This is very unsporting. Please can you change it so that a game cannot be deleted if the first play is a bingo.
