Looks interesting, is there any possibility of a "guest" account that can see a sample in-progress game?

Or some other way to sign in that does not require Google?

Hi, I'm a dev on Backstabbr. At present the only way to access anything is to login, and the only logins we use are Google accounts. We have talked about making a demo Sandbox available to guests, but I'm not sure when we'll get around to that.

    Thanks for your site, and thanks for letting me steal some karma despite having nothing to do with it. :)

    Our group started on playdiplomacy a few months back, but migrated to backstabbr for our games shortly after. PD's good too, but responsiveness, clean visuals, easy sandboxes, and strong mobile support were huge draws for backstabbr.

    I think we originally tried PD just because after a 20 second review of each site, it looked like you had to have a GM on backstabbr (not true at all, adjudication is easily fully automated, we realized after a longer look). Also, the google login requirement kept one friend from joining our game, but most of us saw the google login as neutral to a perk.

    I've been really impressed with the site, really hope it takes off and you all find some way to get handsomely compensated.

      Hey, thanks for the kind words! I'm really glad you and your friends are enjoying the site. It's been really gratifying to see so many people enjoying our work and also to watch new players discovering the game for the first time.
