The vast majority of my board game nights have 5 players, so any games I pick up that are best with 4 but not with 5 (or don't support 5 at all) tend to only get to the table when someone can't make it.
So, when we are missing a player, to select something for game night, I set up filters for own and recommended for 4 players, then open games looking for one where it's recommended for 4 but not recommended for 5.
It would be nice to have a way to use filters to accomplish this combination, but you can't add multiple rules of the same type, and there's also no "not recommended for" filter
Selecting player range doesn't really help with this, since unless you choose 'exact', a search would still include 5 player games, and if you choose exact, then 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, and 4-player-only games would not be on the same list.
