Board Game Arena

Please join me in contacting Keymaster and let them know how disappointing this decision is. Maybe if enough people contact them, they'll reconsider. It's a long shot but I'm willing to try it.

I sent a note today! I think it's odd that they pulled Parks but not Caper, another one of their games on here.

I sent an email to "Jennifer" at Keymaster earlier today . . . since I had already had a correspondence with her a couple of years ago when I ordered PARKS plus Nightfall as a gift to daughter and son-in-law.

I used the term "disappointment" in my message . . . that is the right word to describe our feelings . . . eh ?

I asked her if there was anything players at BGA could do to help PARKS return to the platform.

That was a few hours ago . . . no reply at this time . . .

I also sent a message to KEYMASTER GAMES (https://keymastergames.com/pages/contact) to express my disappointment and ask for explanations. BGA players should do the same.

I heard back from Keymaster today...

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We love having Parks available on Board Game Arena, and it's awesome to know that it is how you discovered our games! We are definitely planning for a future full of hiking there, and although we did need to take Parks down for a bit, be sure to keep an eye on the horizon for what's to come! Thanks for your understanding, and please pardon our dust for any interrupted hikes.

Looks like we might be back on the trail soon!

Does anyone know why they had to take it down? There were a lot of artists who worked on it, maybe they didn't get their permission? So curious!

I would expect that it has something to do with the breath of art used and the licensing from 59 parks. In the end it's 59 parks that owns the rights to the art on the cards. I bet something has changed or is changing with the way they license out the art.

If it would be the art wouldn't be the problem aswell the physical copies? Does anyone has heard anything from the publisher again?

Not necessarily, there could be different license agreements for physical and digital production.

The publisher is planning a new physical edition as well.
