Terra Mystica

[Rocket Man]

I would like to play terra mystica at the BGA. I like the platform and it´s probably enough to bring Terra Mystica online.

This should be relatively easy to adapt since it already is online where you wait a few hours for another person to take their turn if that could be used here.

A general note that applies to all games, not just Terra Mystica:

Just because it is online on another website does not mean the publisher will allow it on BGA. BGA cannot simply say "oh, I like this game, I'll adapt it for electronic play." Well, actually they can, but then they'll get sued for violating copyright laws, and that would tend to shut down the site.

Also, even if BGA gets the rights to adapt it, and the game has been adapted somewhere else, that doesn't mean that it will be easy to adapt it for BGA. The graphic interface alone will be very different, and it is doubtful the person owning the actual code [who most likely is different than the publisher] would be willing to just give it away to BGA. Even if they were, it could very easily be in a different computer language than BGA uses, so translating (from C to PHP for example) will take some non-trivial effort.

Not to say it wouldn't be great to have this game here, just saying there are issues with getting any game on to BGA.
