Some time ago, we asked you to share with us your nicest stories with Board Game Arena.
Today, we publish a story from Riccardo. Thank you for playing & loving BGA!
I am writing to tell you the story of a special encounter I've made thanks to BGA.
Glocko and I (nickname: artax) played together for the first time almost a year ago, on 25 July 2013 to be precise (Troyes n° 4805887). At the end of the game, we started to chat: seeing a Belgian flag next to my nickname, Glocko told me that he was about to move from Australia to Brussels with his family for some time. We then exchanged contact details by e-mail and actually met soon after in real life. I was delighted to have a new gaming friend from so far away and to be introduced to his wife and two teenage children, who also greatly enjoy playing board games. Since then we've been playing together once a week in real life and a few other times on BGA, too. Needless to say, I couldn't have met Glocko if it hadn't been for BGA.
Everytime we meet to play in real life, it's also the opportunity to learn more about different cultures (they are Australian and I am Italian) and to practise my English. I was very lucky to meet these wonderful people, who are now among my best friends in Brussels. So much so that they all attended my wedding in Tournai earlier this year.

And I agree absolutely about BGA. It's great that our accounts are associated with those little flags from our respective countries!
