      That would be awesome if implemented. If not a checkbox, a filter perhaps for maps/number of players etc.

        There should be more options in general, like filtering for game type or unit restrictions.

            This sounds like a suggestion fairly simple to implement.

            I have some questions around the details: Basically there are two options:
            a) You hide each single map manually. (e.g. in the games tab right click on the game card -> blacklist this map) This can lead to quite some work over some time, given the almost infinite amount of astro and gap variations out there. Big advantage: No false positives.
            b) You hide games by name using wildcards, e.g. astro, gap , dual. This requires less entries in your blacklist, but could lead to maps falling under a filter unintentionally.

              I believe option a) is sufficient for now as there aren't that many different astro craters used commonly. The filter thing mentioned by others would definitely be a step up but also a lot more work to Implement I believe.

                        Sounds like a useful addition, although the amount of lobbies open at anyone time waiting to be filled are so few, there's probably not much cost/benefit if the developers have to spend much more than a coffee break worth of time on it.

                          Well @Sheikah already started XD but yes since normally all games fit on one site filtering is not really too much of a benifit
