Revive is a strategic board game for 1–4 players, offering asymmetric player powers, a highly variable setup, and a focus on exploration and development with no fighting or direct conflict.
At the start of each game, players receive a unique tribe board, a player board, and a set of citizen cards. Your tribe board defines your distinct special ability and provides access to ancient technologies you can rediscover as you progress. Meanwhile, your player board is where you will build custom machines and upgrade your card slots, tailoring your approach to fit your evolving strategy.
One of the central objectives in Revive is to reach and populate the large ancient sites scattered across the board. These sites are randomized each game, ensuring fresh challenges and opportunities with every play. They also serve as key sources of victory points, driving competition and strategic planning.
The game continues until all artifacts have been claimed, after which the player with the highest score emerges victorious. With its deep replayability, unique faction abilities, and non-combat focus, Revive delivers a rich and engaging experience for fans of thoughtful, strategic gameplay.
It's not for the faint-hearted, but a tutorial is available for all to grasp the rules in no time. Discover this awesome game right now by clicking the link below:

Welcome to the new 2025 Summer Calendar Special event - 31 DAYS OF TREASURE!
For those who know, it will start this Friday, 1st of August 2025.
The Summer Calendar will arrive on Board Game Arena – even if it’s not summer where you sail from.
From August 1st to 31st, each day unlocks a new game for you to discover – 31 days of surprises, releases, and rewards waiting to be claimed!
Last year, you were close to 80 840 people to participate!
How to explore:
On the homepage, just below the New Releases, on the left column, you will spot the Summer Calendar – 31 clickable boxes, right over your tournaments.
- Each day, click the box for that day’s treasure – featuring independent games, Monday & Wednesday releases, and special surprises.
- Open the first day’s box to instantly win a unique Summer trophy.
- Visit daily to unlock more exclusive badges.
The ultimate challenge: Open all 31 days consecutively to claim the hardest-to-earn badge! (Miss a day? You can still grab the others.)
Time zone note: The calendar follows Paris time (CEST / UTC+2), so be sure to click before the next day’s tide rolls in!
There are a total of 4 limited trophies to win, and it's not an easy challenge.
- One for the first daily box you click-open.
- One for a 10 days streak (opened a box EVERY days for 10 days straight - not forgetting a single one)
- One for a 20 days streak (We told you it's hard, because you also have to click it over the week-end ^^)
-
The legendary one, 31 days, every day for a month, you clicked on the new game release from the calendar: It's the hardest one to achieve, and one to brag about.
It's a hard challenge, but you can also simply enjoy the daily releases included - they are all original games that deserves this time of the year to be enjoyed.
