Concise description:
Simplify the "Start a game" screen to show just a few predefined combinations. Those combinations are settings that work well together and are different enough from the other predefined combinations. The current "start a game" screen would still be available through the "Advanced" link.

Specifics/Details:
There are many complaints about having too many options that can overwhelm new players, with the potential for this situation to get worst if/when new settings are implemented. The fact is that not all options are the same. Some make for very different games and some others for small variations. The new basic screen would have just one drop down to choose, with a set of predefined settings. Some examples could be:

• Classic: Creates a game that is Standard, Flat Rate, Sunny and with unlimited reinforcements.
• Fog of war: Creates a game with the special gameplay fog of war and the settings that best suit with it.
• Escalating: Creates a game with escalating cards and the settings that best match with it.
• Trench: Creates a game with trench and the settings the best match with it.
• Free for all: A game with 12 players.
• Random: A game with all random settings.

The above settings are just an example, but I hope they are enough to exaplain what I mean.

Users would be able to configure the "advanced" screen to be the default screen for them, but new users would have the basic screen as the default one.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Would prevent players from being overwhelmed with so many options. Specially new players.
Would make possible to introduce new choices as long as the are different enough without complicating things.
Would unify games as most settings combinations would only be available through the advanced screen, speeding up joining process
It would really show that CC can be played in different ways, because a new player that only used the basic screen would get very different game experience from each of them, as opposed to getting almost the same game experience when you change a minor setting.

MERGED Start an advanced game

Why was this merged? Both ideas are different.

Because of this post you made in Oliver's thread, stating that it was the same...

Oliver, took my suggestion here.

It says nothing of the sort.

If you read olivers thread, you will see he says my idea is different from his. Even when Blake posted in his thread, he called it different. So as to not clutter up his thread, I took my suggestion to a different thread (a brand new one).

Oh. Ok. I misinterpreted. That's my fault. I work on separating the two suggestions.
