From this file, you can edit the various meta-information of your game.

Once you modified the file, don't forget to click on "Reload game informations" from the Control Panel in order in can be taken into account.

Most information provided in this file are self-explainable. Some information, though:

  • You are not allowed to set the "is_beta" to 0 before the game has been released on BGA and stabilized.
  • "fast/medium/slow_additional_time": please set high values here: after the game has been released, we will lower these value to match the real game duration.
  • "players": during the first step of development of a game, you'd better allow the "1 player" configuration: much easy to start/stop a game this way.
  • suggest_player_number / not_recommend_player_number: don't specify anything here if there is no configuration that is REALLY better/worst than another one. You can check player's poll on BoardGameGeek game page if you have any doubt.
