31 games is an enormous number of games to release in a single month. I hope it's not 30 different flavors of Mahjong and one legit game. But still, even if BGA only releases a few respectable games and the rest are filler, that's still a pretty awesome month for BGA! I'm excited!

Have a lot of games that I want to play that are not in the site. And if only get games beta and alpha we are never going to see new games added to the site..
What ? You know that couple of new games are added in alpha each week, right ?

I'm excited!
Maybe this time I will finally be able to open all the windows. Last time I missed one day. I hugely regretted that there is no option of joker for 1 day.... ;)
The BGA team does a tremendous job for us. I don't understand the complaints of others that the calendars show only weak games. I think that inserting a package of all hot titles here would force a change to a paid service. Instead of complaining, we users should be the ones engaging with the BGA. Wouldn't it be a great Christmas present for the admins if at least every second player bought a premium account in December? ;)

PS. The calendar graphics are beautiful!

Thank you for including the count down timer, as I missed some in the summer by not understanding what time zone it was in. :D

Here's hoping it's better than the shovel ware fest the summer one was

That's it! Winter has come!
That is why we decided to release a LOT of GAMES that were simply waiting for you. Like with the last summer calendar, we're back with the Winter of Games 2023!

31 games, one released every day, for 1 full month.

Releasing 1 or 2 games each week is too weak of a rhythm for us to show off all of the wonderful games we have in stock.
That's why starting from the 1st of December, you will be able to discover ONE new game A DAY.
And by new game, we mean games "that were not OFFICIALLY RELEASED." (Beta or Alpha, we see you. Yes you...)
Everyday, on the right part of the front page (or below the newsfeed if you scroll on mobile) you will see a list of Gift boxes to uncover.
You click on it, it opens and shows the game release of the day.
That's it.
BUT.


If you click the newly released game EACH day on this calendar, you will unlock achievements to beautify your account. Unique. Beautiful.
Will you be able to collect them ALL if you miss a single of the 31 days? Nope.
That's a challenge.
It's all up to you.

NB: the calendar is on Paris time (UTC+1). When you click on a gift that's not yet available after opening the gift for today, you see the number of hours remaining till you can open the next one.
The game list is going to be refreshed weekly during the event in this forum post, so you can keep track of the games that have been released.
And that's it. ;)

List of released games:
1st December : TBA

That's pretty much it!
Thanks for your time and enjoy your daily gifts :)
