Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
I really appreciate that the game highlights the coasters I qualify for after a roll—it makes it easier to see what my immediate options are. One enhancement that would be helpful, though, is a separate indicator to distinguish all the available coasters on the board. That way, I’d know which ones are still in play and could plan ahead before rolling, or even decide to pivot after rolling. Right now, I sometimes find myself aiming for a coaster that’s already taken, since the cocktails blend in so well with the coasters. Having that extra visual cue would make it easier to strategize between going for what I qualify for versus targeting a different coaster.

Report history
The biggest issue here is that this is not an issue for the physical version, because the cocktail markers are three dimensional.
They quite literally stick out, we've are impossible to miss.
The markers on BGA are small, flat, and blend in, especially on a tile that matches the color.
This is a much much bigger usability playability issue than it might seem
There really needs to be an option for the visually limited, such as HIGH CONTRAST colour options (see Chromino where each user can see their own colours) as well as larger coaster/token distinction.
Thankyou so much! <3
I don't know if it would be too much different from the phisical version, but ita would perfectly work. In fact, who cares to read what combination was under an already taken place? The union of "gigantic" "taken" token and "i can't read what i need to roll to obtain that space" should enough to understand that I can no more take that spot!
Changing that colour for a different one entirely would be my suggestion; failing that making it default to the 4th player rather than the first would solve a big fraction of the problem.
