We're live, we're a partner, and we have games!

Today is launching the Spiel Digital, the largest board game fair on earth that's online this year, with Board Game Arena as an official partner of the event.

And we have plenty of surprises for you.

FIRST : The Crew is released!
Yes, you read it right, The Crew, the latest Awarded Spiel Des Jahres game is available NOW on BGA.

You can play missions one-by-one by keeping the same group into play.
You don't know The Crew ? The game that won more than 15 awards since its release ?
Ok, that is an easy one to explain, but not to play...

It's a cooperative trick-taking game.

In The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine, the players set out as astronauts on an uncertain space adventure. What about the rumours about the unknown planet about? The eventful journey through space extends over 50 exciting missions. But this game can only be defeated by meeting common individual tasks of each player. In order to meet the varied challenges, communication is essential in the team. But this is more difficult than expected in space.

With each mission, the game becomes more difficult. After each mission, the game can be paused and continued later. During each mission, it is not the amount of tricks, but the right tricks at the right time that count.

The team wins only if every single player is successful in fulfilling their tasks.
It's intriguing, right ?

Some refers to this game as a really innovative way to play a trick-taking game with missions.

You absolutely must try this gem, designed by Thomas Sing and published by Kosmos.
You can play it here, NOW:

And thanks to our developer Mistergos, the game is quite easy to play and to have fun.

Most of the games will result in time outs.
I selected a random replay and set it to play to the end. It took nearly 7 minutes just to go through all the animations.

The Speil.digital website is a bit of a mine-field, I'm struggling to find anything in English, anybody got any good recommendations on what to do on it?

Really? With more than a dozen open rules bugs? My play group think it shouldn't be out of alpha yet.

I'm excited about the new 7 Wonders Duel expansion, but it seems to be so new that the rules aren't up anywhere! Can anyone post a link?

I think I can work it out anyway from playing the game but sometimes it's good to check first!

Have you guys been thinking of implementing Marco Polo expansion? The first edition I mean. There is MP and MP2 + expansion. We lack expansion for MP1

As published, The Crew with 3 players still uses all four colors (36 cards plus 4 rockets). SO I am baffled as to why this implementation does not allow three players to use all 40 cards.
