A year ago, like many, didn't know BGA even existed. It was a magical time, when we could get together whenever we wanted for board game meetups. We could attend conventions and see new games and meet new people. But when that stopped being an option, BGA rose to meet the challenge of gamers, worldwide. I own Tabletop Simulator, sure...but nothing beats BGA for playing games remotely with a minimum of fuss in real-time. I became a Premium member almost immediately (as did my wife). It's introduced me to games I'd never played or hadn't played recently and made playing some classics and favorites a dream, both with friends and gamers we'd never met.

We have weekly meetups on BGA and have choices for every skill and taste. Something quick and fun? Games like 6 Nimmt, Incan Gold and Papayoo are ready and waiting. Want something that's quick but has more strategy? Tokaido, 7 Wonders, Dragon Castle and tons of others are there for you. Want to get into some solid heavy board gaming: Teotihucuan and Yokohama are right there. Want something new? How about the Crew? Want a classic? Alhambra is an all-time favorite. There's something for everyone here.

I have gone out and bought several games thanks to BGA. My wife sought out a German copy of Palaces of Carrara when we couldn't find one locally. 6 Nimmt and Incan Gold are new favorites. Some are just waiting for the pandemic to ebb: like Marco Polo. And some we're hunting, like Dragonheart, which my wife has fallen in love with.

And now you tell me you're adding a game every day in December? AMAZING.

BoardGameArena has become our lifeline during the pandemic, but we're not going anywhere once it's over. It has made it easy to play some games and turned some games into casual quick fixes: I laughed out loud on our discord channel when, during one of our first BGA meetups, one of my friends (who is several hundred miles away) thought a game of 7 Wonders would take 45 minutes. He didn't understand yet how BGA makes it so you can play three games in that time, easily. And that is one of the reasons we'll remain when this is all over: BGA allows me to game with distant friends with no effort. It allows me to play asynchronously from any one of my devices. It allows me to easily teach games online. It allows me to connect with gamers from all over the world.

Thank you for all you guys do. BGA is a lifeline to gamers all over the world and you should be exceedingly proud of what you have acocomplished.
