Board Game Arena

In Daedalus (Dédale in French), players work together to aid the mythical architect Daedalus in his quest to trap the fearsome Minotaur within an ever-growing maze.
 
Over the course of 10 original challenges with rising difficulty, players take turns strategically placing labyrinth cards at the center of the table, constructing a shifting maze in real time. The objective: complete the challenge before the deck runs out.
 
Developed in collaboration with the Alchimie du Jeu festival in Toulouse, Dédale celebrates the 2024 event's official theme: mythology. A portion of every sale supports the festival, reinforcing the game's deep roots in community and cultural engagement.
 
Whether you’re a mythology enthusiast or a seasoned puzzle-solver, Dédale offers a unique blend of tactical cooperation and thematic depth—now fully playable on Board Game Arena, solo or up to 4 players - and you can learn it right online:

It's all thanks to Romaric Galonnier & Jérémy Partinico, the game designers, and the publisher Subverti.
That's another game released by BanBan who developed this one, and it runs beautifully on computers, tablets and mobile.
 
But wait, there's more:
Talking about the Alchimie du Jeu festival, which will be held during this week, (from May 9th to May 11th), there is also another title that will soon be available on Board Game Arena, but that you can play live at the event: Abra Chadabra, to be fully released later this year.

That's it for today, see you around next week!
As always, take care and play fair.

As always, please rethink hiding ELO in cooperative games. It is a very useful metric to be able to see how experienced your fellow players are. Removing it helps nothing.

Seriously? Daedalus! In this political climate? Wax wings? Too close to the sun? Outrageous! This just seems like a really bad time for a game named Daedalus. My Uncle Zeek is still menaced by the Minotaur. Maybe after the Phanerazoic Eon but not now.

My understanding is that BoardGameArena calculates the ELO changes for a cooperative game the same way as it does for a competitive game. A cooperative game always end in a tie, so players with higher ELO lose ELO and players with lower ELO gain ELO. It would be useful to see how experienced your fellow players are in a cooperative game, but I don't think ELO does that.

I have played the whole campaign (10 victories 1 defeat i think) a while ago in solo.
Is there anything interesting in multiplayer? Or did I do most of the game got to offer?

If you're going to mock BGA's bad taste, at least make sure your example is comparable. Then again, they did provide a lot of other information in this post not directly related to this game so it's clear they have the ability to.

I think the post you quoted was rather mocking the over-reaction/misinterpretation to a previous release, rather than any alleged "bad taste" in said release.
