Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Please make it clear to players that they can't use hyphens or "..."
to indicate where the GUESS WORD should go
Please look at these images to see 3 examples of where players do this.
These images will make it a lot clearer:

They not only use hyphens, but sometimes (less regularly) they use "..." to indicate where the word should go.
So in the list of invalid clues, can you also mention that words with a hyphen or "..." before or after are not allowed?
This happens quite regularly so it would be appreciated if you can please specify this in your dot points under "Invalid Clues".
Thank you
P.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If this is perfectly allowed, then please advise. I will start doing it! :D -

The above link also shows that every round players are shown 4 DOT POINTS for INVALID CLUES.
Can you please put in this list that the use of hyphens before or after the Clue Word is also Invalid?
(P.S. I would also appreciate if you could list here the clues that are VALID too)
I'm not the owner
And I can't make up rules
But I AM allowed to make suggestions.
And that is what I specified at the very top of this post:
It's a suggestion
At the top of the page, you will see these words:
"Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation"
In addition, in my post, you will read these words:
"P.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If this is perfectly allowed, then please advise. I will start doing it! :D"
Best wishes
(By the way, I agree with what you wrote in that forum. And thanks for posting that quote from one of the publishers of the game.)
I realise you may wish for the players to decide for themselves some of the nuances of which words are allowed or not.
However, in an online game - where people don't know one another - like on Board Game Arena - this can easily dissolve into accusations of others cheating or breaking the rules, if the rules are not clear in the first place.
So you have an opportunity to help us enjoy playing the game more, by specifying clearly in the rules whether certain practices or certain types of clues are allowed or not.
This will help to make the game more fun, because then we don't have to debate it in the Messages section.
We can just say, the rules say this - then everyone looks at the rules - and then we all agree and move on.
... of course you can't prepare for every single eventuality - but the more you put in there the more it helps - and you can prepare for the more common types of mistakes that people are doing.
Also, ultimately, since this is categorized as a PARTY game, I'm not really sure why you're in the messages arguing with people about the rules. Party should mean fun. So just err on the side of whatever is the most fun for the most players. And if someone plays differently than you, as could easily happen due to BGA being so vast in its userbase, just let it go since it's ultimately a game and meant to be casual and fun, especially a party game.
