Board Game Arena

Got some fun facts from the first step of the Inaugural BGA Barrage Tournament , You can check my work here (note the second tab with the Excel-generated data. I've not used a lot of Excel sharing before, in a public way, so let me know if this does not work for you. I want to open with the caveat t...

And the first batch of games is afoot. The nice thing about having a full complement of 64 players, across 5 games, is that it's an opportunity to see the same people deal with different starting conditions, which should be pretty interesting. Already I'm seeing some of my favorite XO/country combos...

I decided to put together the first BGA tourney for this game, to see how it goes. I made it 4p/turn-based/swiss system across 5 rounds, and I'm hoping to get at least 16 people in so we have a good rotation.

I just wanted to lead by saying this is probably the best adaptation of a boardgame I have played on this platform, coupled with what is probably my favorite game.

Rock on, see you around the games!

Once and for all: 1) If you win a game, or are about to win a game, happily typing out "Good game!" or "gg" is not appropriate. You're just being a jerk. 2) if you lose a game, it is gracious but not obligatory to congratulate your opponent with "Good game" or somethin...

Why there is so many game for 4-5 players and in Arena you play it as 2-player? Example: Caylus, Keyflower, Tzolkin, La Granja, Spyrium, Russian Railroads. Honestly - I do not play them in Arena just because of that. I prefer playing games with more players when we can. And when I'm not playing it ...

Of all the ways to deal with unsolicited advertisements of other platforms, censoring any discussion of other sites while falsely describing them as intellectual property thieves seems like one of the least likely to do anything but antagonize otherwise satisfied BGA users. I use BGA for a lot of ga...
