Board Game Arena basics

Hvad er 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!

For et hurtigt overblik, se venligst vores BGA introduktionsside.

Hvad betyder "realtids spil"?

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.

Hvad betyder "turbaseret spil"?

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.

Hvad skal jeg bruge for at spille?

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.

For den bedst mulige spille erfaring anbefaler vi følgende browsere:
  • Google Chrome 10+
  • Mozilla Firefox 4+
Vi understøtter officielt følgende browsere:
  • Google Chrome 4+
  • Mozilla Firefox 3.5+
  • Internet Explorer 11+
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari 4+
  • Vi understøtter også spil på iPads eller lignende tablets eller mobiltelefoner.

Kan jeg spille gratis?

Du kan spille brætspil og nyde de fleste funktioner på Board Game Arena gratis. Nogle ekstra funktioner er kun tilgængelige for vores Premium medlemmer.

For mere information om fordelene ved at blive Premium bruger henvises til vores 'Premium medlemskab' side.

Jeg elsker BGA! Hvordan kan jeg hjælpe?

Tak skal du have! Board Game Arena er faktisk en fællesskabsside, der eksisterer og er vokset på grund af bidrag fra mange lidenskabelige spillere.

Du kan bidrage på flere måder, såsom:
  • If you are a native speaker in another language than English, you can help us translate Board Game Arena in your language.
  • If you are a web developer, you can help us implementing new games on our BGA Studio development platform.
  • If you have the means to support us financially, please consider becoming a Premium member to keep the website running and expanding!

Spillende

Hvordan kan jeg begynde et nyt spil?

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.
  • Hvis du har valgt tilstanden 'Automatiske modspillere', skal du bare vente på modspillere.
  • 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!

Hvad hvis ingen vil deltage ved mit bord?

For de mest populære spil kan du finde medspillere hele døgnet rundt. For andre spil, hvis du ikke kan finde modspillere med det samme, anbefaler vi at du kommer igen til myldretiden (omkring kl. 22:00 CEST).

Tip: tjek antallet af online/ledige spillere for et spil inden du åbner et nyt bord.
Tip: hvis der ikke er nogen ledige til et realtids spil, kan du ændre dit bord til at være turbaseret, så andre spillere kan sætte sig ved detl selv timer/dage efter at du har oprettet det.

Kan jeg deltage ved flere realtidsborde på samme tid?

Ja, du kan deltage i eller oprette flere realtidsborde på samme tid ved at bruge manuel lobby.

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.

Et andet eksempel: Hvis du vil spille Saboteur, anbefaler vi dig at deltage ved alle åbne borde.

Jeg har tilsluttet mig til et spil. Hvornår starter spillet?

For realtidsspil har hvert bord en vært, som er bordskaberen. Det er bordværtens ansvar at starte spillet, når de er tilfredse med antallet af spillere, der er kommet til bordet. Hvis du er bordvært og ikke kan starte spillet, skyldes det for det meste, at der ikke er nok spillere til bordet endnu.

For turbaserede spil starter spillet, så snart det maksimale antal spillere er nået. Bordværten kan også starte spillet manuelt, så snart der er nok spillere tilmeldt til at spille spillet, eller når som helst derefter.

Hvordan kan jeg spille et solospil?

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."

For at begynde et solospil med den "Manuelle" lobby:
  • Opret et nyt bord
  • Vælg "Venskabstilstand" som "Spiltilstand"
  • Reducér antallet af spillere til 1
  • Åbn bordet for andre spillere (ingen i dette tilfælde, men det er stadig et nødvendigt trin)
  • Start spillet.

For at begynde et solospil med den "Automatiske" lobby:
  • Klik på tandhjulssymbolet for at ændre indstilligerne
  • Klik på "Vis avancerede indstillinger"
  • Indstil "Venskabstilstand" til grøn og derefter "Normal tilstand" til rød for "Spiltilstand"
  • Indstil "1 spiller" som grøn og alle andre muligheder som røde for indstillingen "Antal spillere"
  • Klik "Spil nu"

Hvad betyder den farvede cirkel ved siden af en spillers navn?

online_.png : Denne spiller er aktiv. Han eller hun har gennemført en aktion for nylig.
inactive_.png : This player is inactive. He or she is connected to the website but has not performed any action recently.
offline_.png : Denne spiller er offline.

Hvad betyder ikonerne ud for en spillers navn?

active_player.gif : Denne spiller er nødt til at lave et træk nu.
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.

En spiller spiller ikke. Hvad kan jeg gøre ved det?

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:
  • Denne spiller vil få en "forladt spil" omdømme-straf (se 'Omdømme / Karma' for flere detaljer).
  • 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.
  • Alle af denne spillers følgende runder vil blive springet over.

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 :)

Hvordan præcis fungerer spille uret?

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

Når det er din tur til at tænke, falder den resterende tid på dit ur.

Regelmæssigt (normalt på hver 'tur') øges din tidsfordeling.

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.

Nogle detaljer og specifikke tilfælde:
  • 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.
  • Når du spiller et spil for første gang, fordobles alle dine tidsværdier.
  • 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'.

Hvordan håndterer du tilfældigheder (terninge kast, blanding af kort, ...)?

For terningerul og lignende 'vælg et tal', benytter vi PHPs funktion '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.

Hvad hvis en spiller gør noget forkert?

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. Virkningerne af en rød tommelfinger er:
  • Denne spiller kan ikke længere spille med dig (undtagen hvis du mødes i en turnering).
  • Denne spiller kan ikke sende dig private beskeder eller se dine spil som tilskuer.

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.

Brug af lobbyens 'Automatisk tilstand': hvordan fungerer præferencerne for spillet?

Når du bruger lobbyen i `Automatisk tilstand`, kan du angive dine præferencer for en række muligheder for et spil ved at klikke på tandhjulet.
  • "Jeg er okay at spille med ..." betyder at du er villig til at spille med denne valgmulighed.
  • `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.

Hvor længe forbliver et bord åbent, hvis ingen spiller mere?

Når ingen har foretaget et træk ved et spillebord i et stykke tid, lukkes det automatisk for at frigøre serverressourcer:
  • 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.
  • Et turbaseret bord lukkes automatisk, hvis der ikke er foretaget nogen træk i 40 dage.

Hvad er alfa- og betaspil, og hvorfor bliver vi advaret om dem?

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.

Din konto, omdømme og rangering

Hvordan fungerer min reputation score (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.

Din Karma-score er til at begynde med 75 ☯ (maksimalt 100 yngre). Derefter:
  • Hver gang du afslutter et spil uden at dit ur har været på negativ tid, får du +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.
  • Hvis du misser et planlagt turneringsparti: -4☯.

Hvad er adfærdskodeksen?

På BGA burde du ikke:
  • Løb tør for tid på spil uret.
  • Forlad et løbende spil med vilje.
  • 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).
  • Deltage i provokation / triumferen / hån ... alt hvad der ikke er fair play.
  • Use an avatar that may be shocking or offensive to other players (no advertisement, no politics, ...)
At gå imod disse regler vil påvirke dit ry.

Hvorfor modtog jeg en meddelelse om en IP-adresse, da jeg sluttede mig til et bord?

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'.

Hvad er absolut forbudt?

På BGA er det fuldstændig forbudt at:
  • At fornærme andre spillere i nogensomhelst form.
  • At oprette flere brugere og spille imod en selv for at booste ens ranking.
  • Trolling, admin-bashing, moderator-bashing, tomme kritikere eller diffamation.
Going against these rules can lead to the removal of your account and/or a ban from the website.

Hvilke retningslinjer skal jeg følge, når jeg kommunikerer?

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. Og det er altid dejligt at spille med venner!

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'.

Turneringer og karma: hvordan fungerer det?

Der er et minimum omdømme at nå for at spille hver turnering (standard er 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).

Hvordan er min ELO beregnet?

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.

På BGA får du en seperat ELO rang for hvert forskelligt spil. Når du aldrig har spillet et spil, er din ELO nul.

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 er resultatet af spillet: 1 for en sejr, 0 for et nederlag, 0,5 for et uafgjort spil.
  • D er forskellen i ELO imellem dig og din modstander.
  • p(D) is the probability of victory considering the previous difference (see Wikipedia for details).
  • K, "Elasticitetsfaktoren", har en værdi der afhænger af antallet af spil, du har spillet: 60 for dine første 10 spil, 40 mellem dit 11. og 20. spil, 20 for dit 21. og fremefter.

Nogle flere detaljer og specifikke tilfælde:
  • For dit første parti vinder du altid mindst 1 ELO, selv hvis du skulle tabe.
  • 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+).

Hvorfor er rangering og konkurrencetilstand deaktiveret for nogle spil?

Nogle spil er ikke egnede til online konkurrence på Board Game Arena.Der kan være en række årsager til dette:
  • 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;
  • spillet kan have været løst;
  • 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).

Hvorfor modtog jeg ikke et trofæ for toprangering for dette spil?

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.

Hvordan kan jeg slætte mit brugerkonto?

Træk lige vejret ... Er du sikker? Vi kommer til at savne dig!
Nå, men hvis du er sikker, finder du hvad du har brug for under 'Indstillinger -> Konto -> Slet min BGA-konto'.

Hvorfor er nogle af mine venner forsvundet?

En nylig ændring af den måde, venner administreres på på Board Game Arena har betydet, at nogle gamle venner har måttet fjernes.

Ikke-gensidige venskaber er nu ikke længere tilladt.

Fra nu af skal du først sende en venneanmodning til en bruger for at få en ny ven. Hvis denne bruger accepterer din venneanmodning, bliver I venner. Dette giver jer mulighed for at se, hvornår hinanden er online, samt se relevant information på hinandens feeds.

Alle ikke-gensidige venskaber, der eksisterede før denne ændring, er blevet fjernet og konverteret til "udløbne venneanmodninger". Du kan finde disse udløbne venneanmodninger ved at klikke på "Se mere..." på fanen venner. Hvis du stadig vil være venner med nogen af disse spillere, kan du stadig sende dem venneanmodninger!

Premium

Hvordan fungerer Premium-spil?

Kun Premium-medlemmer kan oprette nye borde til Premium-spil.
Når bordet først er oprettet, kan alle være med (også ikke-Premium-medlemmer).

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

Hvorfor er nogle spil Premium og andre ikke?

Den enkelte spiludgiver beslutter, om deres spil på BGA skal være Premium eller ej.

Husk, at langt de fleste spil på BGA er gratis for alle :)

Jeg vil spille med nogen fra samme sted: skal jeg købe 2 Premium-medlemskaber?

Nej: du har kun brug for ét Premium-medlemskab.
If a Premium member is playing at a table, all restrictions based on location are removed for all other participants at this table.

Hvorfor er det kun muligt at spille fra det samme sted med Premium-medlemmer?

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.

Hvad er Hotseat og hvordan fungerer det?

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.

Hvordan faktureres et Premium-medlemskab?

Premium-medlemskab er et abonnement: det faktureres periodisk.

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.

Der opkræves betaling for det årlige medlemskab en gang om året. Da du er forpligtet i et år, er der en betydelig rabat på dette medlemskab.

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.

Hvordan annullerer jeg mit medlemskab? Kan jeg annullere mit medlemskab når som helst?

Du kan når som helst opsige dit Premium-medlemskab under fanen 'Konto' i dine 'Indstillinger'.

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

Hvordan opdaterer jeg mine betalingsoplysninger? Hvordan opdaterer jeg mit kreditkortnummer?

Den eneste måde dette kan gøres på, er ved at abonnere igen med dine nye betalingsoplysninger:

  • Gå til Premium-siden: https://boardgamearena.com/premium
  • Annuller dit nuværende abonnement (det resterende medlemskab går ikke tabt)
  • Vælg det månedlige eller det årlige medlemskab, og indtast dine nye betalingsoplysninger.

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

Hvad sker der, hvis jeg allerede er Premium-medlem og får et gratis medlemskab?

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.

Tilgængelige brætspil

Hvad er de tilgængelige spil?

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

For den fulde liste henvises til vores 'Spil' side.

Hvordan vælger du spillene du

For at kunne udgive et spil på BGA har vi brug for 2 ting:
  • 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.
  • Spiltilpasningen er klar, men vi venter på et bestemt tidspunkt eller begivenhed for at frigive det.

Hvis du bare vil foreslå et nyt spil til BGA: den bedste måde at hjælpe os med at få dette spil på BGA er ikke at skrive til os, men at skrive til dette spils udgiver og fortælle dem, hvor cool BGA er, så de kan give os en tilladelse til at have dette spil her :)

Det hjælper virkelig, så vær venlig at gøre det! Du kan sende dem følgende link, der forklarer alt, hvad de behøver at vide:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepublishers

Hvad med udvidelser?

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.

Jeg er en forlægger: Hvorfor og hvordan skal jeg få mit spil på 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.

Arenaen (konkurrence)

Hvad er Arena?

Arena Mode er den største konkurrencemodus for alle spil på Board Game Arena.

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

Hvordan virker det?

Arena-tilstand er baseret på sæsoner.

En sæson varer 3 måneder, så der er 4 Arena-sæsoner hvert år.

I slutningen af en sæson bliver de bedste spillere for hvert spil den nye BGA verdensmester.

Hvad hvis jeg ikke holder af konkurrerende spil?

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

Hvad er reglerne i Arena Mode?

Til at begynde med: nogle Arena-tilstand regler kan ændres fra en sæson til en anden.

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).

Hvis du taber et spil taber du Arena points. Du kan dog ikke få mindre end 0 point.

(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.

Dit mål er selvfølgelig at nå den højeste liga inden afslutningen af sæsonen :)

Hvor mange ligaer er der?

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).

Hvad er 'Elite ligaen'?

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.

Hvad sker der i slutningen af sæsonen?

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

Når en ny sæson starter, er alle nedrykket til en lavere liga (og EAS nulstilles).

Hvad er "Arena-formatet"?

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).

Hvad med turnbaserede spil?

Arena-tilstand er både til realtime og turbaseret spil.

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).

Hvad er der sket med Arena turbaserede spil i slutningen af sæsonen?

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.

Andre spillere vinder eller taber ingen arenapoint i dette spil.

Spillet kan fortsætte bagefter, men der vil ikke være yderligere konsekvenser for Arena-placeringen.

Hvad er en Spilguru?

For each game on BGA, the most prolific players in the last 30 days are eligible to become the Game Gurus.
Guruerne udvælges dagligt og vil beholde deres status i mindst en måned.

Game Gurus have special powers, like being able to discuss and vote for the next seasons Arena format.
Det er også dem, der evaluerer Alfavejledninger.

Flere specielle beføjelser vil blive betroet til Game Gurus i fremtiden.

Hvordan bliver man en Spiluru?

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).

Andre betingelser kan være gældende.

Tekniske problemer

Hvad kan jeg gøre, hvis jeg har et problem med hjemmesiden?

De fleste problemer på denne hjemmeside kan løses med en simpel webside opdatering (eller '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.

Hvorfor er denne fejl ikke blevet rettet endnu?

Vi løser mange fejl hele tiden. Men selvfølgelig må vi prioritere:
  • 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.

Jeg spiller på en mobil enhed og har et problem: hvad kan jeg gøre?

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!

Hvorfor har jeg en langsom forbindelse eller ydeevne problemer på 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.

Oversættelsesretningslinier

Hvad kan oversættes?

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.

Hvem bør oversætte?

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!

Hvad skal jeg gå efter, når jeg oversætter?

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.

Jeg rettede nogle oversættelser, men de ser ikke ud til at være ændret på hjemmesiden?

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

For hvor længe er det muligt at ændre oversættelser?

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.

Er der en belønning for at oversætte?

Ja! Hver valideret oversættelse giver sin oversætter 1 gavepoint. To learn more about gift points, please check our 'Contribute to BGA' page.

Spilvejledning

Er der vejledninger til at lære spillereglerne?

Ja! Nogle spil har vejledninger.

Se liste over spil med en vejledning

Hvordan kan jeg lave en vejledning til et spil?

Alle kan foreslå en ny vejledning til et spil.

Denne side forklarer, hvordan du opbygger en spilvejledning

Hvad er Alfa/Beta-status for vejledninger?

Når du foreslår en ny vejledning til et spil, har den ALFA-status.
Alle med vejlednings-linket kan gennemgå det, give feedback og vurdere det.

Spiludvikleren (eller BGA-admin) kan vælge din vejledning og flytte den til BETA
A tutorial in BETA is proposed to English speaking players on the Game Page, so it can be tested on real conditions.

Hvis vejledningen har god statistikker, kan spiludvikleren (eller en BGA-admin) gøre den til OFFICIEL.
Den OFFICIELLE vejledning vises på spilsiden og er tilgængelig for alle spillere.
Der er kun en OFFICIEL vejledning til et givet spil.
Den OFFICIELLE vejledning er også tilgængelig til oversættelse.

Hvordan evalueres vejledninger?

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.

Hvordan kan jeg oversætte en vejledning?

Vejledninger er tilgængelige til oversættelse ~ 24 timer efter, at de når OFFICIEL status.

Bagefter kan de blive oversat som enhver anden del af spillet.

Hvordan tildeles gavepoint til vejledningsproducenter?

Når din vejledning bliver OFFICIEL får du 100 gavepoint.
Afterwards, each month, you get 100 additional gift points as long as your tutorial remains the OFFICIAL one.
Der er maksimalt 600 point, der kan tildeles for hvert spil.

Hvor kan jeg se min vejlednings-statistik?

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:
  • Genspil et spil uden fejl
  • bed vejledningsfremviseren om at spille et træk i stedet for at bruge knappen "Fortsæt".
  • indstil en vejledningskommentar på det nøjagtige sted, du gerne vil.

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.

Personer bag Board Game Area

Hvem er du?

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.

For en komplet liste over bidragsydere, se venligst vores 'Team' side.

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

Hvad tjener i penge med?

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.
