Games wanted for BGA / Jeux demandés sur BGA

[Itziar70]

Hi BGA,

Because we have Kingdomino do you think there is a chance of getting Queendomino? Just got a hard copy for my birthday and have really enjoyed it lots. What I like the best with Queendomino is the extra layers of strategy the game has.

Please, please ask the game makers if they will be willing to share their game in BGA.

Thanks

Room 25 is in beta, and I think forbidden island is in development.

I made this as a suggestion a few years ago but it wasn't picked up then. Maybe some new devlopers would be interested.

I really think that the GIPF games would be a perfect addition and perfect for the BGA format and I'd love to see them here. Starting with GIPF

They are a series of abstract games including DVONN, LYNGK, TAMSK, PUNCT, TZAAR, YINSH and ZERTZ and they are all excellent - nay remarkable. (I think I've played them all). I saw online implementations of them a few years ago so I doubt there would be licensing issues, I'm sure the developer would kill for the exposure at this point

I see only a couple of others have suggested this over the years, but I would love to be able to play Fury of Dracula here. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Usually though it's the other way around, BGA Studio has a list of game licenses that that developers can see which games are good to start developing. *Someone* would need to make that first step to do that. Given they are shortish projects it's likely that they will get picked up and completed in they were in the BGA Studio list.

Well here's hoping BGA can approach the publishers about these. I know there are other games available elsewhere but not here for some reason (Castles of Burgundy springs to mind) so there may be other issues, I guess.

Apologies, I wasn't very clear. I meant that publishers/game designers are usually making that 1st step and approach BGA. BGA usually welcomes them with open arms and the game gets added pretty quickly to BGA Studio. Personally, as a developer those game would be appealing (if I didn't already have a project) but I would be reluctant to go hunting for the license when there are lots of others already to choose from BGA Studio.

But for the big name games, it maybe that BGA are specifically asking the publishers in this case. It's possible they keep their eye on other sites to spy openings. In particular Castles of Burgundy is being developed in BGA Studio atm, but it has been for some time so don't hold your breath.

Thank you - I didn't realise that this was how it worked. Basically I won't get my hopes up for GIPF games (or Castles of Burgundy) anytime soon. Which is probably ok because I'm terrible at them!
