Conceptes bàsics de Board Game Arena

Què és Board Game Arena?

What, you don't know yet? Let's bring you up to speed! Board Game Arena (BGA) is an online board games platform.

With BGA, you can play online, either in real time or turn based, against players from around the whole world. A selection of various board games and card games are available. In order to play, the only thing you need is your browser!

Per obtenir una visió general ràpida, consulta la pàgina "Introducció BGA".

Què vol dir "jugar en temps real"?

When playing a real-time game, your opponents are connected to the game platform during the entire game. They can see your moves and react to them immediately - as is the case in the real world.

Què significa "jugar per torns"?

When playing a turn-based game, players do not need to be connected all the time. They leave and come back when it's their turn to play. Once all your opponents have completed their moves you are notified that it is your turn (by email or on your next visit to the site). Then you can access this game, take your turn, and the process repeats for the next player.

Què necessito per jugar?

Your browser... and that's all! Board Game Arena does not require anything else. This way, you can play from any device, anywhere, anytime!

However, we are using the latest technologies available for the web. For this reason, you should play with the most up to date web browsers to enjoy an optimal BGA experience.

Per una bona experiència de joc, recomanem els següents navegadors:
  • Google Chrome 10+
  • Mozilla Firefox 4+
Donem suport oficialment als navegadors següents:
  • Google Chrome 4+
  • Mozilla Firefox 3.5+
  • Internet Explorer 11+
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari 4+
  • També donem suport per jugar en iPads o tauletes similars o telèfons mòbils.

Puc jugar gratis?

Podeu jugar jocs de taula i gaudir de la majoria de les funcionalitats de Board Game Arena de forma gratuïta. Algunes funcions addicionals només estan disponibles per als nostres membres Prèmium.

Per més informació sobre els avantatges de ser un jugador Prèmium, si us plau, visita la nostra pàgina de 'Pertinença Prèmium'.

M'agrada BGA ! Com podria ajudar-la?

Jugant

Com puc començar una nova partida?

Go on the 'Play now' section, select your prefered game mode (ex: 'Real-time'), find the game you want to play, and then click on the 'Play' button.
  • Si heu seleccionat el mode "Adversaris automàtics", només heu d’esperar als adversaris.
  • Otherwise, you will be displayed a list of table you can join. Choose a game table, join it, wait for players to join, and once you have the players, click 'Start game'. Have fun!

Què passa si ningú s'uneix a la meva taula de joc?

Per als jocs més populars, podeu trobar jugadors a qualsevol hora del dia. Per a altres jocs, si no podeu trobar adversaris en aquest moment, us aconsellem que torneu a l’hora punta (al voltant de les 22:00 CEST).

Consell: revisa el nombre de jugadors en línia/disponibles per un joc abans de crear una taula.
Nota: si ningú està disponible per jugar en temps real, pots crear la teva taula en mode per torns, així un altre jugador pot unir-se hores/dies més tard.

Puc unir-me a diverses taules en temps real al mateix temps?

Sí, podeu unir-vos o crear diverses taules en temps real al mateix temps mitjançant el mode Manual.

This is even recommended to be in several tables, to maximize your chance to find opponents, instead of waiting at a single table.

When one of your realtime table starts, you are automatically removed from the other tables and you can focus on your game.

For example, if you want to play Carcassonne, Keyflower and 7 Wonders, we suggest you to join or create a table for these 3 games, so all the other players can see you are ready to play these games.

Un altre exemple: si voleu jugar a Saboteur, us recomanem que us uniu a totes les taules obertes.

A dalt

M'he unit a un joc. Quan comença la partida?

Per als jocs en temps real, cada taula té un amfitrió que és el creador de la taula. És responsabilitat de l'amfitrió de la taula començar el joc quan estigui satisfet amb el nombre de jugadors que s'han unit a la taula. Si sou l'amfitrió de la taula i no podeu iniciar el joc, la majoria de vegades és perquè encara no s'han unit prou jugadors a la taula.

Per als jocs per torns, el joc comença tan bon punt s'ha arribat al nombre màxim de jugadors. L'amfitrió de la taula també pot decidir iniciar el joc manualment en qualsevol moment després que s'hagi unit el nombre mínim de jugadors necessaris per jugar a aquest joc.

Com puc jugar a un joc en solitari?

There are an increasing number of games available for solo play on BGA. To find these games, you can go to the Games page and filter by "Number of players: Solo."

Per a començar una partida en solitari amb el vestíbul "Manual":
  • Crear una nova partida
  • A l'opció "Mode de joc", seleccioneu "Mode amistós".
  • Redueix el nombre de jugadors a 1
  • Obre la taula a altres jugadors (cap en aquest cas, però encara és un pas necessari)
  • Començar la partida.

Per a començar una partida en solitari amb el vestíbul "Automàtic":
  • Fes clic a l'engranatge per a canviar les opcions
  • Fes clic a "Mostrar les opcions avançades"
  • Tria "Mode amistós" en verd i després "Mode normal" en vermell per a l'opció "Mode de joc".
  • Estableix "1 jugador" en verd i totes les altres opcions en vermell per a l'opció "Número de jugador"
  • Fes clic a "Juga ara"

Què significa el cercle de color al costat del nom d’un jugador?

online_.png : Aquest jugador està actiu. Ha completat una acció molt recentment.
inactive_.png : This player is inactive. He or she is connected to the website but has not performed any action recently.
offline_.png : Aquest jugador està fora de línia.

Què signifiquen les icones al costat del nom d'un jugador?

active_player.gif : Aquest jugador ha de fer un moviment ara.
active_player_clockalert.gif : This player must make a move now, and has used up all his/her available thinking time. Can someone wake them up? ;)
active_player_nonack.gif : This player must make a move now, but is probably not aware of this fact. If the situation doesn't change, it might mean that this player has a connection issue.
: When the 'normal' avatar of a player is displayed, it means that this player is waiting for their turn to play.

Un jugador(a) no està jugant. Què puc fer?

First, please remember that other players have the right to think as long as they need to about their next move... Well, as long as there is still some time left on their game clock, that is. After that, you can use the chat to ask this player to confirm that he or she is still thinking about how to play.

If the player seems to be away, we advise you to wait a few minutes: this player may be experiencing some network problems or have left temporarily. If the player is not coming back, and his/her clock has become negative, then you can kick this player out of the game. The effects of kicking a player out are the following:
  • Aquest jugador obtindrà una penalització de reputació 'abandonar' (vegeu 'Reputació/Karma' per obtenir més detalls).
  • This player will lose the same ELO points as if he/she was the loser (last place) of this game, minus an additional -10 ELO.
  • Whatever happens in the game afterwards, all the other players will be considered tied at the first place for ELO, and will receive a % of the ELO corresponding to the % of progression of the game at the moment the player was kicked out. Ex: if 80% of the game has been played, the remaining players will receive 80% of the ELO they would have won.
  • Es saltaran els següents torns d'aquest jugador.

With this system, we ensure that even if you are in a losing position, it is NEVER a good choice for you to quit a game in progress. This system is a little bit harsh, but unlike many other services, about 99% of games played on BGA are not abandoned, and we are proud of that :)

Com funciona exactament el rellotge de joc?

Before playing each game, depending on the 'Speed' settings, you can see two values: the initial time amount and the additional time per turn.

Quan toca pensar, el temps restant del rellotge disminueix.

Periòdicament (normalment a cada "torn"), augmenta la vostra assignació de temps.

If your timer reaches zero (or gets negative), any other player can kick you out from the game: you should be careful NEVER to be in this situation.

Casos específics i alguns detalls:
  • There is a maximum amount of time for each player. In general, this maximum matches the initial time amount (ie: you can never have more than the initial time).
  • If you get a negative clock at some point during a game, even if you are not expelled, you will get a 'clock' red spot on your reputation.
  • Quan jugues un joc per primera vegada, es doblen els teu valors de temps.
  • Tournaments are using a completely different system ('fixed time limit'): you get an amount of time at the beginning, and there is no additional time during the game.
  • For turn-based games, 'X turns / day' means '24 / X' hours of additional time per move. For example, '2 turns / day' means '+12 hours per move'.

Com gestioneu els elements aleatoris del joc (tirades de daus, barreja de cartes, ...)?

Per als daus i l’acció equivalent a "tria un número", utilitzem la funció PHP 'random_int'. This function has a cryptographically secure randomness, which means that it may be even better than real dice :)

For card shuffling, we are using the PHP method 'shuffle', based on the 'Mersenne Twister' algorithm which is used by most online Poker websites.

Please note that there are thousands of games played each day on BGA, so a rare event whose probability is really low may still happen dozens of times per day on BGA.

Finally, for those asking themselves "But is that random number generator truly random?", please check this page from random.org which is a great ressource to understand the complexity of this question.

Què passa si un jugador fa alguna cosa malament?

The Board Game Arena platform has been designed to encourage players to maintain good behavior. The reputation system allows you to distinguish between good and bad players. Then, it is up to you to decide whether to start a game with them or not.

If you think a player behaved badly during a game, you can give them a 'red thumb' at the end of the game. Els efectes d’un polze vermell són:
  • Aquest jugador ja no podrà jugar amb tu (excepte si us trobeu en un torneig).
  • Aquest jugador no us podrà enviar missatges privats ni veure les vostres partides com a espectador.

If you think a player committed a serious wrongdoing during a game (for example insulting another player in the chat), please report this player to us, using the 'report this player' link from their profile or by clicking on the 'red thumb' at the end of the game, so that we can take appropriate measures.

A l'utilitzar el lobby en "Mode Automàtic": com funcionen les preferències del joc?

Quan utilitzeu el vestíbul en "Mode automàtic" podeu especificar les vostres preferències per a diverses opcions d'un joc fent clic a la roda dentada.
  • "Em sembla bé jugar amb ..." significa que esteu disposats a jugar amb aquesta opció.
  • `I prefer not to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value... Except if this is the only available possibility after searching an alternative during a few minutes.
  • `I'm reluctant to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value... Except if this is the only available possibility after searching an alternative during a long time.
  • `I never want to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value at all.

Quant temps es manté oberta una taula de jocs si ningú juga?

Quan no es mou ningú cap a una taula de joc durant un temps aquesta es tanca automàticament per a alliberar recursos del servidor:
  • A real-time table is closed automatically if more than 4 hours have elapsed since its creation and if all players at this table are now offline.
  • Una taula basada en torns es tanca automàticament si no s'hi fa cap moviment en 40 dies.

Què són els jocs alfa i beta i per què se'ns avisa?

Alpha and beta games on Board Game Arena are works in progress. Alpha games are in the very early stages of development, so they might be unfinished, and you're asked not to share anything about them. It's also expected that you'll provide feedback to help improve the game. Beta games are a bit more polished but can still have bugs or issues. The warnings are there to remind you about potential problems (like bugs or instability) and to encourage you to report anything you encounter to help the developers refine the game.

El teu compte, reputació i classificació

Com funciona la meva puntuació de reputació (Karma)?

The Karma score (☯) is a quick way to check if a player has a good reputation on BGA (does not quit games, is friendly and fair play, ...).

Depending on your Karma score, you may also be allowed or disallowed to use some features on BGA or to join a given table.

La teva puntuació inicial de Karma és de 75 ☯ (d'un màxim de 100☯). Llavors:
  • Per cada partida que acabis, si el teu temps no ha estat mai en vermell (negatiu), guanyaràs +1☯.
  • If you quit, or get kicked out of a game in progress, you lose 10☯ or even 20☯ if you already quit another game recently.
  • Si no apareixes en una partida de torneig programada: -4☯.

Quin és el codi de conducta?

A Board Game Arena, no hauries de:
  • Esgotar el temps en el rellotge de joc.
  • Abandonar una partida en curs a propòsit.
  • Take an unnecessary and unreasonable amount of time at the end of game in an obvious losing situation.
  • Engage in Kingmaking: enabling another player to win on purpose while there is a better move to make for yourself.
  • Give some piece of information about the current game situation that disturbs the normal game flow.
  • Communicate with another player about the game privately (for example with an instant messenging app).
  • Fer ús de provocació / triomfalisme / derrotisme... qualsevol cosa que no sigui joc net.
  • Use an avatar that may be shocking or offensive to other players (no advertisement, no politics, ...)
Anar en contra d’aquestes regles afectarà la teva reputació.

Per què he rebut un avís d'adreça IP en unir-me a una taula?

When you join a table, you may receive a message informing you that a player is playing from the same IP address as another player. This means they could potentially be sharing information. We've decided to display this warning to let you know. You are free to decide whether or not you wish to participate in this game. For more details please check out our 'Multi account policy'.

Què està absolutament prohibit?

A Board Game Arena està totalment prohibit:
  • Insultar altres jugadors en qualsevol forma.
  • Crea múltiples comptes i juga contra tu mateix per accelerar el teu ranking.
  • Trolejar, admin-bashing, moderador-bashing, crítiques buides o difamació.
Going against these rules can lead to the removal of your account and/or a ban from the website.

Quines directrius he de seguir per comunicar-me?

The general rule you should follow is to talk to people (in the forum, in the chat, ...) as if they were friends that you invited to play at your home: then you'll naturally give them your attention and be kind to them so that everyone feels welcome and at ease. I sempre és genial jugar amb amistats!

You should also be aware that in an international communication context, not everyone has the same mastery of the language being used, and that cultural differences can sometimes lead to misundernstandings. When in doubt, please consider the most kind and well intentioned meaning as it will be the good one most of the time!

And finally, do not use Board Game Arena communication resources to advertise other gaming websites. If you want to talk about your experience elsewhere, please just say something like 'on another gaming website'.

Torneigs i karma: com funciona?

Hi ha un mínim de reputació a assolir per a jugar a cada torneig (per defecte, 65☯).

If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament for which you registered, you may not be able to participate.

If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament in progress, you may be expelled from the tournament (but not from your games in progress).

Com es calcula el meu rànquing ELO?

The players ELO score on BGA is based on the ELO formula, which is one of the most popular ways to evaluate a player level. Please check Wikipedia if you are interested in the theory.

A BGA, tindreu un rànquing ELO per a cada joc diferent. Quan no hagueu jugat mai a un joc, el vostre ELO és zero.

When you finish a game, the number of points you gain/lose depends on the level of your opponents, and more precisely on the ELO difference between you and your opponents.

The most simple situation is a 2 players game. You will gain a number of ELO point equal to K x (W - p(D)) where:
  • W és el resultat de la partida: 1 per una victòria, 0 per una derrota, 0.5 per un empat.
  • D és la diferencia d'ELO entre tu i el teu adversari.
  • p(D) is the probability of victory considering the previous difference (see Wikipedia for details).
  • K, el 'factor d'elasticitat', té un valor que depen del nombre de partides que has fet: 60 per als teus primers 10 jocs, 40 entre els teus 11è i 20è jocs, 20 per als teus 21è en endavant.

Alguns detalls més i casos específics:
  • A la primera partida que juguis, sempre guanyaràs com a mínim 1 punt ELO, fins i tot si perds.
  • Until you reach 100 ELO (beginner), you can never lose ELO points. And after that you can never go back under 100 ELO.
  • When you play with more than 1 opponent, we consider that you win against each opponent who scores lower than you during this game, and lose against each opponent who scores better than you. For example, if you are #2 in a 4 players game, you gain ELO points as if you won against the 3rd and 4th players, and lost against the 1st. In this case, the K factor is adjusted depending of the total players number to make sure ELO variation are not too important (or too little).
  • When you win consecutively against the same opponent on a game, your ELO gains will gradually reduce. This encourages you to compete against as many players as possible.
  • When your rank is "Strong" or higher, and you don't play for an extended period, your ELO score will decrease over time.

ELO ranking allows to classify players in 7 distinct skills levels: Beginner (0 point), Apprentice (1-99 points), Average (100-199), Good (200-299), Strong (300-499), Expert (500-699), Master (700+).

Per què es desactiven els rànquings i els modes competitius en alguns jocs?

Alguns jocs no són adequats per competir en línia a Board Game Arena.Això pot passar per diversos motius:
  • the game may be a cooperative one, where your rank serves as a rough indication of your level but should not be viewed as a competitive rank;
  • el joc pot haver estat resolt;
  • there may be easily accessible game engines or artificial intelligence allowing players to compete at the level of the engine instead of their own.
In any of those cases, or if a specific reason does not allow for a fair competitive basis for a game, rankings and competitive modes will be disabled (with matching trophies).

Per què no he rebut un trofeu de primer nivell per aquest joc?

To be awarded the top rank trophies, you need to have reached at least 300 ELO (otherwise, the first people playing the game would just get the trophies immediately). Also, there needs to be enough active players (at least 1000/300 in the last two months for the top20/top10), otherwise the achievement would not be significant.

Com puc esborrar el meu compte?

Pren-te un respir... Per què vols fer això? Et trobarem a faltar!
De totes maneres, si ho tens clar, trobaràs el que necessitis a 'Preferències -> Compte -> Suprimeix el meu compte BGA'. Tant de temps, vaquer!

Per què alguns dels meus amics han desaparegut?

Un canvi recent en la manera com es gestionen els amics a Board Game Arena ha fet que alguns amics antics hagin de ser eliminats. És a dir, les amistats no mútues ja no estan permeses.

A partir d'ara, per fer un nou amic, primer has d'enviar una sol·licitud d'amistat a un usuari. Si aquest usuari accepta la vostra sol·licitud d'amistat, us convertireu en amics. Això us permet veure quan els altres estan en línia, així com veure informació rellevant als canals dels altres.

Totes les amistats no mútues que existien abans d'aquest canvi s'han eliminat i s'han convertit en "sol·licituds d'amistat caducades".

Podeu trobar aquestes sol·licituds d'amistat caducades fent clic a "Veure més..." a la pestanya d'amics. Si encara voleu ser amic d'algun d'aquests jugadors, encara podeu enviar-li sol·licituds d'amistat!

Prèmium

Com funcionen els jocs Prèmium?

Només els membres Prèmium poden crear taules noves per als jocs Prèmium.
Un cop creada la taula, qualsevol pot participar (fins i tot membres no Prèmium).

This way, you only have to buy 1 Premium membership to play Premium games with your friends (or anyone else).

Per què alguns jocs són Prèmium i d'altres no?

Cada editor de jocs decideix si els seus jocs a BGA han de ser Prèmium o no.

Tingueu en compte que la gran majoria de jocs de BGA són gratuïts per a tothom :)

Vull jugar amb algú del mateix lloc: hauria de comprar 2 pertinences Prèmium?

No: només necessiteu una pertinença Prèmium.
If a Premium member is playing at a table, all restrictions based on location are removed for all other participants at this table.

Per què "jugar des del mateix lloc" està disponible només per membres Prèmium?

Playing on BGA from the same location is not something common since if you are at the same place you can play with the real physical board game. It makes sense to make it a Premium feature, so that using BGA stays a way to discover and enjoy board games with the whole world and does not become just a way to avoid buying the real physical game.

With this restriction, we also mean to limit the possibilities for cheaters to play against themselves to boost their rankings.

Què és el mode Hotseat i com funciona?

Using Hotseat mode (Premium feature), you can play with your friends from the same computer or other device.

Create a simple game table on BGA, click on 'Invite a friend' button, and select 'Hotseat' for each of your opponents.

Com es factura una pertinença Prèmium?

La pertinença Prèmium és una subscripció: es factura periòdicament.

The monthly membership is billed every month: if you subscribe on March 13th, you will be billed on April 13th, May 13th, and so on.

L’adhesió anual es factura un cop cada any. Com que estàs compromès durant un any, hi ha un descompte important en aquesta pertinença.

If you prefer to pay manually for each membership period, we advise you to use the Paypal payment option as we do not renew automatically memberships payed using Paypal.

Com puc cancel·lar la meva inscripció? Puc cancel·lar la meva inscripció en qualsevol moment?

Podeu cancel·lar la vostra subscripció Premium en qualsevol moment a la pestanya "Compte" de les vostres "Preferències".

Whenever you cancel your membership, you always remain Premium for the period you have already paid for.

Com puc actualitzar la meva informació de pagament? Com puc actualitzar el meu número de targeta de crèdit?

L'única manera de fer-ho és tornant a subscriure's amb la nova informació de pagament:

  • Vés a la pàgina Prèmium: https://boardgamearena.com/premium
  • Cancel·leu la vostra subscripció actual (no perdreu els temps que resti que ja hàgiu pagat)
  • Trieu entre subscripció mensual o anual i introduïu la vostra nova informació de pagament.

Note: the payment on the new Credit Card will not occur before the end of your current active membership period.

Què passa si ja sóc Prèmium i guanyo una pertinença gratuïta?

If you get one free Premium month by helping BGA, your current membership period is extended by one month.

For example, if you should have been billed on April 13th, you will be billed one month later instead.

Please note that if you get your free month just before the renewal of your membership, it may be impossible to cancel the next billing so we may have to delay the subsequent bill instead.

Jocs de taula disponibles

Quins jocs hi ha disponibles?

Board Game Arena offers a wide selection of board and card games, with a strong focus on modern ('European style') board games.

Per obtenir la llista completa, consulta la nostra pàgina de "Jocs".

Com feu la tria de jocs disponibles en línia?

Per tal de publicar un joc a BGA necessitem 2 coses:
  • The authorization of the digital rights owner for the game (most of the time, the original publisher).
  • A software developer volunteering the time and skills needed to build an online version of the game.

So if you are asking yourself why one of your favourite games is not yet available on BGA, it could be for various reasons:
  • We never asked an authorization for this game in the first place (of course if the game is popular, there is a good chance that we asked).
  • The publisher didn't reply or refused to grant his authorization, temporarily or definitively.
  • The publisher accepted, but we haven't found a volunteer developer yet for this game, or the development is currently ongoing.
  • L’adaptació del joc està a punt, però estem esperant una hora concreta o esdeveniment per desplegar-la.

Si només voleu suggerir un joc nou per a BGA: La millor manera d'ajudar-nos a tenir aquest joc en BGA no és escriure'ns, sinó escriure a l'editor, i dir-li com de genial és BGA, perquè pugui donar-nos una autorització per tenir-lo aquí :)

Això realment ajuda, si us plau fes-ho! Pots enviar-los el següent enllaç que explica tot el que necessiten saber:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepublishers

I les expansions dels jocs?

Game expansions follow the same selection and development process than games. There can be various reasons why a game publisher doesn't want the expansion online, and sometimes we don't find a developer who has the time to develop it.

Sóc un editor: per què i com hauria de dur el meu joc a Board Game Arena?

The main goal of Board Game Arena is to make it easy for players to discover new games, learn to play them and love them. We think that there are only two kinds of players on Board Game Arena: those who already bought the games they are playing online, and those who plan to buy them soon!

For a more detailed presentation or to contact us about licensing, please check out our 'Game publishers' page.

L'Arena (mode competitiu)

Què és el mode Arena?

El mode Arena és la modalitat competitiva més important per a tots els jocs a Board Game Arena.

Playing Arena Mode, you meet opponents in a competitive spirit, and try to become the new world champion for each game!

Com funciona?

El mode Arena es basa en temporades.

Una temporada dura 3 mesos, per tant hi ha 4 temporades d'Arena cada any.

Al final de la temporada, els millors jugadors de cada joc seran el nou campió del món de BGA.

Què passa si no m’importa el joc competitiu?

Arena Mode is 100% optional. You can play on BGA using 'Simple mode' and never care about it.

Que són les normes del mode Arena?

Per començar: les regles del mode Arena poden canviar d'una Temporada a una altra.

To access Arena Mode for a game, you first need to reach 100 ELO points. It gives you access to the lower Arena league (Bronze league). You start with 1 Arena point ('Bronze - 1').

When playing on Arena mode, you play each game with its Arena format. You cannot choose your opponents: a matchmaking algorithm is choosing your opponents for you.

When you win a game in Arena mode, you gain Arena points. You gain 3 Arena points when beating an opponent from the same league, 2 points when beating an opponent from league N-1, 1 point for beating an opponent from league N-2, and so on (and the same for higher leagues).

Quan perds una partida, perds punts d'Arena. No obstant, no pots estar per sota de 0 punts.

(Note: If you play a 3+ game, the number of Arena points you get is divided by the number of opponents. So beating 5 opponents from the same league brings you 3 x 5 / 5 = 3 points).

When you reach 10 points, you are promoted to the upper league, with 1 point (ex: 'Silver - 1'). You get a corresponding trophy, and you can no longer be relegated for this season.

El teu objectiu és, per suposat, aconseguir la lliga més alta abans del final de la temporada :)

Quantes lligues hi ha?

It depends on the popularity of the game: the most popular a game is, the more leagues there are (and the most difficult it is to reach the top).

Què és la 'Lliga Elit'?

The most active players for a given game (especially the best ones) may reach the most prestigious league: the Elite league.

In Elite league, the rules are different: each player has an Elite Arena Score (EAS), which works exactly like a standard 'ELO rank'. Based on this EAS, you get your world rank for this game (ex: 45th) and you can try to become the world champion

This EAS is hidden as long as you are playing in inferior leagues, and is revealed when you enter the Elite league. Basically, if you beat very good players during this season, your EAS will be high, and if you beat weak players your EAS will be low.

Què passa al final de la temporada?

For each game, the best players will receive the BGA world champion trophies for the season depending on their final rankings.

Quan comença una nova temporada, tothom queda relegat a una lliga inferior (i EAS es reinicia).

Què és el "Format Arena"?

The Arena format is a set of game settings that apply to all tables played in Arena mode. This keeps all Arena games for a particular game consistent, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.

Every season, the "Game Gurus" community of each game discusses and votes on the Arena format. These users can propose new formats, and the one with the most votes at the end of the season becomes the official Arena format for the next season.

In some cases, Admins may set a special rotating format that makes game option change each season based on specific rules. This is especially useful for games with complex settings that can create very different play experiences (e.g., battle scenarios, map variants).

Què passa amb els jocs per torns?

El mode Arena és tant per jocs en temps real com per torns.

The only constraint for turn based games is that a turn based game must start and end during a given Arena season to be taken into account for this Arena season.

If your turn based game is not finished at the end of the Season, the player who consume the most thinking time during the game will lose the game.

For a given game, you must also always play on the table where you are the most waited (ie: where it's your turn for the longest time).

Què passa amb les partides d'Arena per torns al final de la temporada?

5 days before the end of the season, it is not possible to start new Arena turn-based games anymore.

If your turn based game is not finished at the end of the Season, the player who consume the most thinking time during the game will lose the game and lose Arena points.

La resta de jugadors no guanyaran ni perdran cap punt d'arena per aquesta partida.

Després, la partida pot continuar, però no hi haurà cap altra conseqüència per als rànquings d'Arena.

Què és un Guru del Joc?

For each game on BGA, the most prolific players in the last 30 days are eligible to become the Game Gurus.
Els Gurus són triats diàriament i mantenen el seu estat almenys un mes.

Game Gurus have special powers, like being able to discuss and vote for the next seasons Arena format.
També són els qui avaluen els tutorials Alpha.

En el futur, es confiaran poders més especials als Gurus de Joc.

Com esdevenir un Guru del joc?

Your karma must be at least 90, and you must have been registered on Board Game Arena for at least one year.
The players who played the most (non-training) games in the last 30 days will automatically become gurus. (limited to 100 players)
Once a player is a guru for a specific game, they will keep their status for at least 1 month (unless their karma drops).

Problemes tècnics

Què puc fer si tinc un problema amb el lloc web?

La majoria dels problemes d'aquest lloc web s'han de resoldre amb una actualització simple de la pàgina web (o 'F5').

If you experience a persistent issue, the first thing to do is to use our troubleshooting tool to check if everything is fine with your configuration.

If you are not correctly logged in for a game (spectator instead of player), please come back to the main site and log out then log in again to refresh your authentication cookies.

Then, you can browse our bug tracker: check to see if someone has already reported this issue and upvote it, or create a new report if that's not the case. Please take the time needed to describe the problem in a clear and precise manner so that we can quickly reproduce and fix it.

Per què encara no s’ha corregit aquest error?

Arreglem molts errors, constantment. Però, per descomptat, hem de fixar prioritats:
  • We give the highest priority to recent features and recent games, because the most important bugs are reported fast.
  • We give the highest priority to the bugs that gathered the highest number of upvotes (green thumbs) in our bug tracking tool.
  • We usually fix bugs in batches for better efficiency. So if we decide to fix an important bug on a game, there is a good chance that we will fix some other minor bugs at the same time.

BGA is known for the quality of its adaptations, and if you look at the bug tracker, you will see that - considering the number of games and the size of the community - there are not so many really important bugs open with a lot of upvotes.

Please also remember that a lot of BGA adaptations are realized and maintained by volunteers on their free time. Finding and fixing bugs is neither easy nor really fun, so the best way you can help is by being nice and giving precise information in bug reports.

It can also happen that the original developer stops maintaining the game after a while for some personal reason. In that case, remaining bugs can stay open a long time, until another developer interested in the game volunteers to take over, or for more popular games, until the number of votes attracts the attention of an admin on this bug's relevance to the community.

Jugo en un dispositiu mòbil i tinc alguna dificultat: què podria fer?

BGA was designed with desktop and laptop computers in mind. Then we updated the layout to accomodate mobile users, but while some BGA adaptations run perfectly on mobile, some others are not designed well for small screens or touch screens. This can come from the complexity of the game itself (big board, lots of elements) or from the choices made by the developer.

Thus, when you play from a mobile device, we advise you to choose games that won't be too difficult to play on a small screen, and to pay extra attention to each of your moves to be sure to trigger the correct action: zooming a lot really helps!

Per què tinc problemes de connexió o un rendiment lent a BGA?

We are constantly monitoring our servers responsiveness. Sometimes incidents occur, but most of the time BGA is responsive. Usually, less than 2% of game moves takes more than 200 milliseconds to process, and less than 0.2% takes more than 1 second.

The main BGA servers are located in Europe (France), but we rent relay servers all across the world (in 30+ locations) so that big files (essentially images) are loaded quickly even if you are far from us.

Please be aware that very often, performances problems can come from your internet connection or from your computer system. We advise you to try to connect with a different browser / computer / internet connection to troubleshoot the issues.

As a rule of thumb, if you are finding out that BGA is not responsive enough for you on a given day, you shouldn't start or join a game since there is a risk for you to get clock penalties.

Guies de traducció

Què pot ser traduït?

The collaborative translation system is meant to make it possible to translate Board Game Arena into any language, in order to enable more people to discover and play board games.

For example, if you want to play 'Dragonheart' with your 10-year-old nephew and he doesn't speak English yet, no problem! Just help us translate Board Game Arena into your language!

Every string of text for the main site and for the games interfaces are 'internationalized' and can be translated by the player community. News announcements displayed on the BGA 'Home' and 'News' pages are computer translated first, then the translation can be improved by the community.

Qui hauria de fer les traduccions?

This is important: only translate text into a given language if you are a native speaker of that language. When translating a game, the translator should know the game thoroughly and if possible have a box and rulebook of the game in the destination language to check for consistency. Translators should take into account the level of language and the formal/informal pronominal rules usual for the gaming audience of their country.

The source/reference language for translation is English, since the site and games development is made in English.

English is not necessarily the mother tongue of all developers, so fluent (and preferably native) English speakers can submit requests for change to be validated by developers or adminstrators. It is necessary to be very careful when modifying the English texts as this affects the translations in all languages!

Què he de buscar quan tradueixo?

When translating, please always stay as close as possible to the original English text in meaning and style. Translating a software interface is not a literary exercise: please do not try to transform Board Game Arena into a book. Practicality, clarity and homogeneity are the most important.

In particular, you should respect the final punctuation (or lack thereof), the specific words capitalization choices and the use of digits instead of words.

He arreglat algunes traduccions, però sembla que no s'han canviat a la web?

Translation files are updated nightly, so you just have to wait until tomorrow for your changes to appear on the site.

Quant de temps és possible canviar les traduccions?

The first translations may not be perfect. So they can be modified until they are 'validated'. Validation occurs when a translation has not been modified for 30 days straight. It is then considered stable and valid (golden icon) and can only be changed by 'seasoned' players.

Computer translated text is never validated until it has been proofread by a member of the community and either "confirmed" or "modified". Afterwards it is considered to have a "human" level of trustability like other translations, and will follow the same rules for validation.

Veure la llista de jocs amb un tutorial

Com puc crear un tutorial per a un joc?

Tothom pot proposar un nou tutorial per a un joc.

Aquesta pàgina explica com crear un tutorial

Quin és l'estat Alfa/Beta dels tutorials?

Quan proposeu un nou tutorial per a un joc, té l'estat ALPHA.
Tothom que tingui l'enllaç del tutorial el pot revisar, donar comentaris i valorar-lo.

El desenvolupador del joc (o administrador de BGA) pot seleccionar el vostre tutorial i moure'l a BETA
A tutorial in BETA is proposed to English speaking players on the Game Page, so it can be tested on real conditions.

Si el tutorial té bones estadístiques, el desenvolupador del joc (o l'administrador de BGA) el pot fer OFICIAL.
El tutorial OFICIAL es mostra a la pàgina del joc i està disponible per a tots els jugadors.
Només hi ha un tutorial OFICIAL per a un joc determinat.
El tutorial OFICIAL també està disponible per a la seva traducció.

Com s’avaluen els tutorials?

Tutorials are evaluated by game developers and BGA admins based on statistics (ex: ratings, ...).

They may compare several tutorials statistics by making them available at the same time: if several BETA tutorials (with/without an OFFICIAL one) are available, players are redirected randomly to one of them.

Com puc traduir un tutorial?

Els tutorials estan disponibles per a la traducció ~ 24 hores després d'haver estat OFICIAL.

Després, es poden traduir com qualsevol altra part del joc.

Com es concedeixen els punts de regal als creadors de tutorials?

Quan el vostre tutorial esdevé OFICIAL, obtindreu 100 punts de regal.
Afterwards, each month, you get 100 additional gift points as long as your tutorial remains the OFFICIAL one.
Hi ha un màxim de 600 punts per a cada partida.

On puc veure les meves estadístiques del tutorial?

What can I do if the game adaptation does not allow me to create the right tutorial steps?

Because of bugs or specific choices made by a game adaptation developer, it may be difficult or impossible to:
  • rejugar una partida sense errors
  • demanar al visor del tutorial de fer un moviment en lloc de prémer el botó de «Continua»
  • establir un comentari de tutorial al punt exacte on t'agradaria.

In that case, it should be reported as a bug for the game in our bug reporting tool so that the developer can fix it. When reporting the bug, please indicate to the developer to check the tutorials checklist page where the most frequent errors and problematic cases are described.

After the issue has been fixed, you should be able to create a tutorial without problem, by using the replay of a game played after the new game version has been deployed.

Gent rere Board Game Arena

Qui ets?

This website has been created on their free time by two IT professionals passionate about board games: Grégory Isabelli and Emmanuel Colin.

BGA is a community website that exists in its current state thanks to the wonderful contributions of passionate players throughout the world.

Per conèixer la llista completa de col·laboradors, consulteu la nostra pàgina d’equip.

In 2021, BGA joined the Asmodee Group (read full announcement).

Com us guanyeu la vida?

After more than 7 years building and managing BGA on their free time, both founders have been working on the website with a full-time salaried position since early 2018. This was really required by the growing audience playing on this website, and has finally been made possible by the continued support of our Premium members through the years (thank you again!).

But actually, there is so much work to do to run BGA that two people working full-time is clearly not enough! This is why we intend to preserve and expand our "community based" approach to give to every interested player the possibility to contribute in order to keep this service running as good and smooth as possible.

Com et podria contactar?

For general questions concerning the website, games or the community, the best way to reach out is by posting a message in our forum. This way, anyone from the community can answer, and everyone benefits from the answer.

To report issues or suggest new features, please use our bugs & suggestions tracker. Please make sure to check if there is already a report dealing with the subject before creating a new report: upvoting existing reports allows us to identify the subjects that are considered as the most important by the community.
