I wonder why the graphic is different sometimes.

For example: two games on a similar map with the same amount of players.
But in the overview the games-graphics look different.



Could anybody explain this?

Yeah,

when there is no fog, on the thumbnails you can see the entire board. When there is fog, you can see only fog (not even the parts that you can actually see when you click on the game). When you play on large USA, no fog, with a player starting in every territory, the thumbnail looks awesome. It's also cool when you can see your own-coloured territories covering half the board.

There is no fog on the distribution turn, which is why you can see the entire map on those two games. The reason even those two look different is because one appears to be full distribution with the other on warlords distribution. So there are more available (green) territories in the top one.

It's a picture of the actual game. Open the top one and it should look just like the thumbnail (in that one, it looks like a full distribution.)

The thumbnail appears as a spectator would see the game, so fog games will just show fogged territories everywhere. Try looking at a no-fog or light-fog game.

Actually, taking a closer look at the second one, it is just fog. Obviously only the territories are fogged, you can still see the coloured background.

Fizzer gets invited to all the best games.

Your first bloombridge game has started, but is on picking stage - you see territorries in distribution as vivid green. In the second bloombridge game thumbnail, the game advanced, and you see fog and some coloured spots i guess, but this map has so many teritorries, that it's not as obvious and clearly visible as for example the Earth map in the picture provided by Fizzer. It has been like that for a long, long time, or maybe even longer ;)
