Board Game Arena

31 days, 31 games! We’re not kitten around: a new game every day for the whole month.
 
Yes, you guessed it right, Summer of Games 2026 is back and starting on August 1st!
 
We have many wonderful games waiting for you, and this is the purr-fect moment to adopt these new babies.
 
How Does It Work?
 
A new treasure chest will appear each day on the calendar.
 
Click on it.
Open it.
Discover the game of the day.
 
That is all you need to do. Every day until August 31st.
 
Unlock Exclusive Achievements
If you open the revealed game every single day, you will collect exclusive, cat-themed trophies. So cute…
 
There are 4 trophies:

• One for the 1st day you open a gift,
• Another for a 10-day streak,
• One more for clicking consecutively for 20 days on the front-page calendar,
• And a last one for completing the entire month's challenge.

 
The trophies are unique to this summer event and won’t return. If you miss a day, the streak breaks. It is a challenge, but it is a fun one.
 
Game List
The full game list will be updated regularly in this forum post so you can track everything revealed during the month.
 
Wherever you are, at the beach, up a mountain or even at work, we hope our kittens will bring you joy, excitement and a daily spark of play.
 
Stay cool, stay curious, and pet a cat.
 
With love,
The BGA Team

I know where it is, but you didn't actually mention where the calendar will be located so you may want to update that.

Also curious why there are two seperate threads for this instead of keeping the game list updated as the first comment like previous years?

Hopefully some nice games coming out

Not even gonna try anymore after that last one.

Where do we find the calendar ? Thanks

Calendar is now available on the BGA homepage – just below the slider with newest updates.
Though, first game will be available to reveal tomorrow.

Waar kan je de kalender vinden?

if the idea is to reward engagement and daily visits to the site, then you should also consider putting an option for notifications(if users want to enable it). You can perhaps even put a counter on the News like you do for announcements.

for each of the previous events, I have been visiting the site daily but would always forget 1 day or another to go on the home page to click on the treasure chest instead of the lobby where i usually default to. I am sure there are others like me.
It hurts.

Please stop writing these announcements with AI

How exciting!

My webshop for boardgames opens the same day!

Let's keep having fun playing games on bga and in real life!

Happy weekend everyone!
