Please keep things positive. Best advise I believe is to try out different sites. Find what works well for you. If you don't like it, don't go back and try another site. Nothing says you only have to play on 1 site. At one time, I played on about 6 different turn-based game sites.
BugCafe has come along way since it first started with just Scrabble.
It has now introduced Mancala & Dice Poker (Bugzee as they call it), so now has all types of games & more than BrainKing does, just not all the variations.
Its a lot more basic than here, but very playable
We had a burst of new games at the start of 2007, BECAUSE of all the Black Rook memberships.
When will we get something new now, even the most basic sites are leaving us behind now
