Report history
This should in no way be the norm for playing games and having fun.
If you just google "bga hanabi bad" you get tons of results reporting the same issue. Here on BGA the Chat created a very own "correct" way of playing hanabi and everyone who does not play like this gets attacked for it.
Furthermore, as this game is to be played without communication the chat makes very little sense. I have also seen people giving hints via chat.
So all in all please just get rid of the chat in hanabi so that more people can enjoy this game.
(I think the same goes for "the crew" by the way).
Thanks
