Board Game Arena

Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying some great games on BGA lately! I was watching something interesting recently and am curious to see what others think about the topic. The board game strategy video-maker No Wonders just released a YouTube video discussing a recent decision by BGA admins t...

My memory from when this was first implemented is that the person designing the BGA implementation checked with the publisher and the clarification was that only things that are visible count, so the covered up or discarded keys do not count for the bonus card. It would be ideal for the publisher to...

Should we expect a feedback from BGA at some point or is this hopeless? After this much time has passed with no reply, it seems likely that one of two things are the case: 1. BGA staff is concentrating all efforts on fixing broader website issues and so is not paying attention to this issue for the...

its networking peering. all BGA's websockets are broken through my ISP xfinity, because the server's traffic through the websocket never reaches my browser. somewhere along the line, the traffic is being dropped. because of peering agreements among various carriers, internet traffic in the two dire...

I notice that in both Terra Mystica and Russian Railroads we also see irregular arena starting conditions (some players start in gold league without relegation). I also notice that this same problem occurred at the beginning of previous arena seasons. Could the site leadership review these cases to ...

Withholding content to make the physical version more appealing? A short-sighted decision imo. I agree that it's irritating and borderline antisocial behavior in my view. I suggest writing to the publisher, seems fair for us to let them know that as a customer of many of their games we find their d...

I suggest changing the decision making process in the future. The best would be consulting the player base before applying any changes in the future. I agree with this suggestion. BGA is more than just a content provider, it has been the genesis of many communities of users with shared interest, an...

Perhaps since Asmodee owns BGA we could contact leaders at Asmodee to tell them we are concerned that these changes will damage the site's value if they drive users away. Probably a long shot but if enough people contact them they might ask the BGA leadership to take a second look at the proposals? ...
