New games : Jump Gate and KQJ

Post by sourisdudesert »

Today, we are proud to announce that TWO new games are joining the Arena : Jump Gate and KQJ.

Jump Gate is a Sci-fi ressources collection game by Matt Worden published by MWG.

In Jump Gate, you are the captain of a spaceship, flying from planet to planet to collect resources and try to constitute the most valuable set of resources. On your turn, you must do 2 actions among the following:

_ research (refill your hand of cards)
_ jump (use one card to jump to any planet)
_ fly (move for free to a neighbouring planet)
_ scan (reveal a resource on a planet)
_ harvest (collect one resource from a planet)
_ land & claim (claim a planet)

Each different resource has its own scoring rule, so on each turn you'll have to evaluate which resource can bring you the most victory points considering the investment needed to reach it. The Dice Tower made a very good review of the game, and we encourage you to watch the 8 minutes video at the end of this news to learn the game and be ready to fly!

We'd like to say thank you to Matt Worden for creating this game and for the authorization to have it on BGA, and we encourage you to buy a copy on The Game Crafter. The adaptation of Jump Gate has been developed by Charles Mead (ChazM) and Fabien Chevrier (fafa-fr) using BGA Studio: thanks a lot for making it possible to play this game here!

KQJ is a trick-taking card game for 6 players by Jacques Dalmau & Gilles Roudeilla

If you like trick-taking games like Belote or Hearts and want to play with 6 players, this game is for you! The rules are very close to "Belote", except that there are 4 new cards (Hero) in addition to the classical King, Queen and Jack (KQJ). The game is played by team, 3 vs 3 or 2 vs 2 vs 2. You can choose to play with or without auctions, and choose your preferred victory conditions (500 / 1000 / 2000 points): as you can see, this game gives you a lot of flexibility to enjoy the best trick-taking games you'd like to have with your friends!

The full rules of KQJ are available in the KQJ "how to play" page (wiki section).

BGA would like to thank Gilles and Jacques for proposing to make this game available here, and Gabriel Sagarzazu who did a great job developing this game using BGA Studio.


Enjoy!
