• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The sliders to change the sizes of the boards seem like a good idea, but my experience of trying to find a suitable size is that the problem isn't the board size but their position. It seems that the boards of the players to my left and right align with the bottom of the screen, and the boards of the fourth (and fifth, if applicable) player(s) go below the bottom of the screen unless using really tiny sizes.
cheddarmonk.org/forumimg/draftosaurus-initial-sizes.png and cheddarmonk.org/forumimg/draftosaurus-aligns-bottom.png show how making the opponent boards smaller pushes them down.
cheddarmonk.org/forumimg/draftosaurus-fixed-margin.png was the best that I could manage to get the boards to fit on screen without scrolling, and even then I had to scroll down a little and lose some of the header. This is with a maximised browser window on a 1920x1080 screen.
For desktop I think that it would work to have just one slider, for my own board size, and to fit the opponent boards into the left and right margins by calculating the scale factor which lets them both fit vertically, and the scale factor which lets them fit horizontally, and choosing the smaller of the two. I've made a mockup at cheddarmonk.org/forumimg/draftosaurus-mockup.png which shows how much larger the boards can be without scrolling. -

Report history
I think laying our the boards in the same way as the game Lucky Numbers would be beneficial, as all of the boards are the same size and can be viewed at once without either resizing or scrolling.
