Game Finder - sort results a) 1 more player, b) group by map

Game finder :
  • Allow for alternative organization of Game finder results

Specifics/Details:
  • Allow users to sort by the number of open spots in a game (1 open first, 2 open, ...)
  • Allow users to sort by game board (all NYC together, all Feudal together, etc

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • The first suggestion is for when you are eager to join a game and just get started.
  • The second lets you quickly skip over boards you know you don't like, focus on ones you do and investigate new ones when they show up (it would be really great if instead of alphabetic, this sort was based on the number of times the user has played that board) (

I don't know about the first part, but I wouldn't mind the second part at all. It's much better to sort by map than game number.

great idea, especially part 1 (1 spot left)
grouping by map can be done with the game finder, no?

No, map grouping can't be done unless you only search for one map. Currently the maps are sorted by game number, and that is all. It would be great to have different sort options for the game finder. Sorting by map, style, spoils, etc. However, map grouping is the best of all the options. If only one gets done, do it.
