Board Game Arena

Do you ever dream of being able to play on Board Game Arena anytime, including during one of these boring, endless meetings at work?

BGA is currently working with Microsoft to make this dream come true, by bringing Board Game Arena on Microsoft's smartwatch concept.

Last month, we selected 10 lucky BGA players to test this new way of playing board games, and their were pretty enthusiastic with the new device:

Eric: "This way amazing, I even managed to play Race for the Galaxy under the shower."

Peter: "Well, I must admit that I select the wrong card from time to time, but this is not important, right? This is soooo cute!"

Ted: "This innovation is a major breakthrough. This is going to completely change the way we are playing board games."

The whole BGA team is now working to adapt games for the new platform, so consequently the BGA website will not evolve much during this period of time. But who cares having new games when you know that in the late 2014 you'll be able to bring BGA with you anywhere?

That is so cool! Next step should be to incorporate MTM (Microsoft Time Machine) into boardgaming. Just imagine that you can turn back in time and avoid all those devastating mistakes you've just made last turn....

This is fantastic news!

I'll go and buy my smartwatch today, this news really helped me decide that i need one!

Will it also support chat functions? as its pretty small . Did Peter, Eric or Ted (or some1 else from the testpanel) mention anything about it?

Its a bit a shame that we cannot expect more new games during this year, but well it is for a good reason! Besides, there is already a very broad collection of games so i guess we can survive a year without getting bored from repetition! (playing boardgames on such a small screen will provide a whole new challange anyway!)

i'll rush out to the store, so i can be the first of this month, to get a MS smartwatch!

greetings,

PS: nice one! ^^

well you can play but some things don't work. i.e. in some smartphones you cannot discuss, in some others cards games don't dispaly correctly etc.
