Board Game Arena

In SETUP, you create a set or sets, scoring points as you place tiles around the board. How many points on each turn depends on how good you are at spotting sequences and by playing a set which will create multiple combinations on the board. Even when it is not your turn, unwitting opponents may gift you points by creating sets using tiles in your bonus spaces, so always keep your eyes peeled to claim those extra points.

SETUP is a game of strategic tile placement, making sets of numbers of matching suits. You cannot always plan in advance though, because the tiles stack, so a sequence you had in mind may disappear when your opponents take their turn.

The strategy is even more intense when you try team play mode, work with a partner to plan your sets together. You will work hard to maximize points, help your partner create sets, and gift each other bonus points. Careful how many points you score because the game ends when the first player crosses the finish line, but being in first place does not decide the win; it's the team that avoids finishing last when the game ends!

The best here is that a tutorial is available so you can learn the rules in a few minutes only!.

The game is available right now, and if you want more information, you can find them by clicking the link below:

We would love to thank GTSchemer for his hard work onto this game, as well as the game designer, Jacob Berg, and the publishing team from BEZZERWIZZER studio for bringing this game to your beloved platform.

And that's it for today.
That's it? Really?
Being the 31st of July, there should be something more.
I see... Sand and sun... Boardgames... The sea... Oh yeah, it will come later today.. It is the beginning of a new SUMMER OF GAMES calendar!
Stay tuned!

Frustrating this applicant isn’t even the top “secondary” article.
If you plan to keep announcing games -and ESPECIALLY things other than games - in such a position in the list, please update the order of content on the mobile homepage and /or revamp how things display on mobile entirely. For example: swapping secondary announcement and the feed would be nice but even that isn’t a great answer because then only the main announcement and top secondary announcement are seen without scrolling, making it easy to think there are no new ones.

You're right! As you might know, we're heavily changing pages one at a time, and this will come at one point.
Note that it's displayed at the top of the page for desktop users. And that for all users it's also displayed as "new games" in our game list page here
...and there's also social networks. Plenty of different ways to know about the latest releases

Just played a game of this. It is very, very buggy on my iPad. Can’t reset if you place something wrong; often can’t place a second tile, or a third. I hard to hard refresh every single turn, sometimes multiply.

Is anyone else having problems with the tutorial? Tile selection and placement are working only intermittently. I cannot complete the tutorial.

I had a big issue today, there was no possible move in my first turn, and there was nothing I could do other than letting time run out, losing a big amount of karma.

You can always swap tiles in your hand

The Flanders in this one was tough but clever.

@Ari Mala and @Charlemagne, developer here. I am very sorry to hear about this! Can you please open a bug report? I have not had reports of either the tutorial failing to work, or the iPad failing to work.

Unfortunately I do not have any iOS device to test on, but maybe I can find a clue.

Also, can you please try turning off tooltips in player preferences, just to see if it fixes the click issues? I did hear iOS users are sometimes seeing touch issues with tooltips recently (in general, not just any specific game).

While the tutorial is worked on there is also a video how-to-play, which will get you up to speed in around 5mins - https://youtu.be/LUTC6ygfYvY hope that helps!
