The main goal of Board Game Arena is to promote board games, and we are always happy to help game publishers in any way when we have the possibility.
One of the greatest possibility offered by digital boardgaming is the opportunity to test a new variant of a board game. Some time ago, game publisher Cocktail Games, game designer Antoine Bauza and BGA agreed to experiment a variant of Hanabi.
This variant is very simple:
_ With 2 players, each player has 6 cards in hand instead of 5.
_ With 5 players, each player has 3 cards in hand instead of 4.
Technical explanations about "why" this variant available here.
To play with this variant, you must select "Unofficial variant => yes" on Hanabi game options.
This variant will be available on BGA until June 9th. After that, we are going to gather your thoughts about it. A cool thing is that depending on the result of this test (but not only), the game designer and the publisher may decide to make it an official variant
Thanks for your help making great board games even better!
