Board Game Arena

Paris, at the turn of the twentieth century. You are an artist wandering the streets, striving to create masterpieces, embarking on romantic escapades, seeking inspiration and trying to keep misery at bay. Welcome to a Bohemian’s life!
 
As a struggling artist, your stomach may be empty, but your head is overflowing with ambition. You have rejected the monotony of mainstream society to chase the sublime. Your journey is defined by your routine, a fragile collection of habits that either push you toward greatness or trap you in cycles of misery. The game is played over three phases: the Wake Up Phase, where you plan your daily routine by playing Habit and Muse cards; the Day Phase, where you narrate your story, count your earned Inspiration, and spend it to acquire new cards or gain one of the coveted Achievement cards; and the Sleep Phase, where BGA does things nobody else wants to do…
 
You got it right: Bohemians is a card game. Each card you play is a hearbeat, a moment of inspiration captured on canvas, stage, or page, while every hardship you endure serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of your artistic freedom.
 
This is also a game about transformation, where inspiration is your currency, and if not spent immediately, it is stored in the Atelier, a sanctuary where you spend it to trigger powerful effects. Your goal is to become the most famous artist of your time by earning five Achievement cards. Each one represents the peak of your hard work and shows how you overcame your struggles.
 
Gather your courage, perfect your craft, and leave your true legacy. Will you find fame, or will you be forgotten by history?

Thank you to Jasper de Lange, the game designer, and Portal Games for letting us add their game to our platform. And a huge thank you to jafabi, who painted a perfect picture on BGA.
 
This was your Monday release.
Step onto the picturesque streets of Paris and change the world with your art. Take care and play fair…

This looks lovely! Huge thanks to Nekonyancer - the tutorial was excellent (I loved the narration!).

I love this game. Can't wait for the expansion!

Sorry but the game with low resolution assets can't look lovely.

There appears to be an error in step 50 of the tutorial. I tried to report it in the proper forum but since the bug didn't happen in an actual game, I wasn't provided that option. The instructions say to place a habit card in slot three. I can select the card but an error message is throw when I select the spot. Of course, this could be user error.
