As a Renaissance banker, you will finance kings or republics, sponsor voyages of discovery, join secret cabals, or unleash jihads and inquisitions. Your choices determine whether Europe is elevated into the bright modern era or remains festering in dark feudalism.
Pax Renaissance is a card drafting and tableau building game, in which you take cards in order to form rows in the East and West (or simply use them directly as a one-time effect), which you can later activate for several effects. You do these things in order to spread your influence over Europe and nearby regions, take concessions around trade routes (to likely gain money) or influence places, move armies to make war campaigns, fund rebellions, gain political and religious renown, all in order to achieve one or more of the 4 winning conditions Pax Renaissance has.
As in other Pax games, you can acquire cards in a market, sell them out of the game, or play them into your tableau. You can also stimulate the economy by running trade fairs and trading voyages for Oriental goods.
It is a fantastic and complex game, yet not so deeply hard to grasp and play. It has a tremendous richness of choices, options, and historical bits, which, all together, provide a tasty and fulfilling experience.

...and you are gonna move a lot of tiles and animal-shaped meeples.
Puzzling and animal breeding: Designer Uwe Rosenberg is at his best!
New York Zoo is what is called a polyomino puzzle game. The idea is that you want to be the first player to have their zoo board filled with multiform Tetris-like puzzle pieces, each representing a cage or enclosure.
Build animal enclosures, introduce new animals, and raise their offspring. The game play is straight forward as you have only two turn options: puzzle a new enclosure tile into your zoo area or gain new animals to populate your animal enclosures. But be sure to time your actions well since you want your zoo to participate in as many animal breedings as possible.
You start with a zoo board and two animals, which are placed in the "indoor enclosures" on the left side of the board.
After that, players take turns moving the elephant on the center board with one to four (or three based on your player count) squares to grab a tile with an outdoor enclosure or two animals for your zoo.
If you choose to grab an outdoor enclosure, you will need to place it in your zoo and add an animal that comes from your indoor cage or from one of the other enclosure tiles in your zoo. If you take animals, you can place them in one of your pens or on one of the cages on your board. It is important to note that each outdoor enclosure tile can only contain one type of animal.
As the elephant walks around the center board, it also passes the so-called breeding areas. When this happens, animals can multiply, but only when there are two of the same on a field tile, a third is added.
Once one of your areas is full of animals, move it from your board back to the supply, keep one in an indoor enclosure if you wish, and get an attraction tile to fill up your zoo faster. The game ends when the first player completely fills their zoo with accommodation and attraction tiles. He or she is the winner.
It is as simple as that. And it is brilliant.

Discard the best cards from your hand in order to score the least points.
To win, you will need to have the least points at the end of the game. You can do this by discarding the highest cards OR keeping only those of the same suit.
Mojo is an abstract family game about hand management and matching. The idea is that players will play their cards trying to have the least value in their hands when the round is over and points equal to the numbers on the cards. However, only one card of each color scores, the highest value. The players who gets down to 3 cards (or 2 cards, in 2p games) continue their gameplay by placing these 3 cards on the table and revealing them one by one when it is their turn.
Once someone is out of cards or when someone reveals their 3rd card, the round is over and players count their points. The person who was out of cards (or who revealed the 3rd card, if no one was out of cards) gets the Mojo card, which carries a danger: if the person who has this card is not the person with the lowest score for the round, they will get +10 points added to their total. The game ends in the round when someone has 50+ points, and the person with the lowest score is the winner!
Do you have the Mojo card? Be good or you may regret it!

Adapt in an ever-changing ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. (Sounds familiar, right?)
Evolution relies on good management of resources and the multiple characteristics of the species in our possession. A game is divided into several rounds, each of which is divided into 3 stages. First, all players secretly decide on the potential food available in the dedicated space. The strategy starts now, as the food pool is shared by all players... so whoever eats first (in turn order) has a clear advantage. Once this choice has been made, players are invited to select the cards of their choice in order to perfect the species they own, design new ones, increase populations, or even increase the size (and therefore the defence) of a species. A large number of cards are available, each with its own criteria.
Once this stage is complete, each player's population, defences, and characteristics are laid out in front of him. The available food is revealed, and each player has access to it in turn order, with a few subtleties if the cards played beforehand suggest so.
The round ends as soon as all the animals have been fed, or there is simply no food left... all animals without food perish. Food points acquired are accumulated and added up for each player. They are then taken into account at the end of the game.
Once all the rounds have been completed, the points are tallied. They take into account the food ingested, whatever the diet, the characteristics of the species and the number of species still alive.
At the beginning, the difficulties are even less, as the herbivores feed in a totally passive way, and the impact on the rest of the players is minimal. A little gumption is enough to win the game by multiplying your populations while keeping an eye on available food.
The game becomes progressively more difficult with the addition of carnivores... which, in turn, inevitably have an impact on the other players. Carnivores, the offspring of transformed herbivores, require meat, and will therefore aggressively attack neighboring populations. A definite asset, but one to be handled with great care. Indeed, prey must be smaller and unguarded, and the latter have many strategies at their disposal to avoid attack- but in the case of a successful aggression, the attacked player quickly finds himself deprived of a large part of his population!
Evolution packs a surprising amount of variety for a game with simple rules. The variety comes from the synergies between the trait cards and from the different personalities at the table. Some players thrive on creating Carnivores to wreak havoc on their fellow players. Others prefer to stay protected and mind their own business. Evolution encourages both play styles by giving each of them multiple paths to victory. And it is the mix of play styles at the table that ultimately determines the ecosystem in which the players are adapting. So gather your friends and see who can best adapt to the changing world around them.
This game won many awards, such as the Golden Geek, and that is a solid reason for you to try it right now if you have not played yet. Like usual, click the link below:

Of course, no games without developers, and this one has been beautifully adapted to our platform by stst. A lot of thanks to him, and of course, the whole team of North Star Games and the game designers Dominic Crapuchettes, Dmitry Knorre & Sergey Machin for their authorization to bring this brilliant title on Board Game Arena!
No doubt you can handle this wonderful game with a few friends or random opponents here and there. But will you climb the Arena ladder to the top?
Let's discover it!
And that's it for today.
See you around in a few days.
Until next week, take care, and...
Play fair!
EVOLUTION: Vai jūs uzdrošināsities uzvarēt?
Pielāgojieties nepārtraukti mainīgajai ekosistēmai, kurā trūkst pārtikas un uzglūn plēsēji. (Izklausās pazīstami, vai ne?)
Evolūcija balstās uz labu resursu pārvaldību un daudzajām mūsu īpašumā esošo sugu īpašībām. Spēle ir sadalīta vairākos posmos, no kuriem katrs ir sadalīts 3 posmos. Pirmkārt, visi spēlētāji slepeni izlemj par iespējamo pārtiku, kas pieejama īpašajā vietā. Stratēģija sākas tagad, jo pārtikas baseins ir dalīts visiem spēlētājiem... tāpēc tam, kurš paēd pirmais (pēc kārtas), ir nepārprotamas priekšrocības. Kad šī izvēle ir izdarīta, spēlētāji tiek aicināti izvēlēties kārtis pēc savas izvēles, lai pilnveidotu sev piederošās sugas, veidotu jaunas, palielinātu populācijas vai pat palielinātu sugas izmēru (un līdz ar to arī aizsardzību). Ir pieejams liels skaits karšu, katrai no tām ir savi kritēriji.
Kad šis posms ir pabeigts, katra spēlētāja populācija, aizsardzība un īpašības tiek izklāstītas viņa priekšā. Pieejamais ēdiens tiek atklāts, un katram spēlētājam tas ir pieejams pēc kārtas, ar dažiem smalkumiem, ja iepriekš izspēlētās kārtis to norāda.
Raunds beidzas, tiklīdz visi dzīvnieki ir pabaroti, vai vienkārši nav palicis pāri... visi dzīvnieki bez barības iet bojā. Iegūtie pārtikas punkti tiek uzkrāti un summēti katram spēlētājam. Pēc tam tās tiek ņemtas vērā spēles beigās.
Kad visas kārtas ir pabeigtas, punkti tiek summēti. Tie ņem vērā uzņemto pārtiku, neatkarīgi no uztura, sugas īpašības un vēl dzīvo sugu skaitu.
Sākumā grūtības ir vēl mazākas, jo zālēdāji barojas pilnīgi pasīvi, un ietekme uz pārējiem spēlētājiem ir minimāla. Pietiek ar nelielu piepūli, lai uzvarētu spēlē, reizinot savu populāciju, vienlaikus sekojot līdzi pieejamajam ēdienam.
Spēle kļūst arvien grūtāka, pievienojot gaļēdājus... kas, savukārt, neizbēgami ietekmē citus spēlētājus. Plēsējiem, pārveidotu zālēdāju pēcnācējiem, ir nepieciešama gaļa, un tāpēc tie agresīvi uzbrūk kaimiņu populācijām. Noteikts īpašums, taču ar to jārīkojas ļoti uzmanīgi. Patiešām, laupījumam jābūt mazākam un neapsargātam, un pēdējo rīcībā ir daudzas stratēģijas, lai izvairītos no uzbrukuma, taču veiksmīgas agresijas gadījumā uzbrukušais spēlētājs ātri vien atņem lielu daļu viņa iedzīvotāju!
Evolution ir pārsteidzoši daudzveidīga spēle ar vienkāršiem noteikumiem. Dažādība rodas no sinerģijas starp iezīmju kartēm un dažādām personībām pie galda. Daži spēlētāji gūst panākumus, veidojot plēsējus, lai radītu postījumus saviem kolēģiem. Citi dod priekšroku palikt aizsargātiem un nodarboties ar savām lietām. Evolution mudina abus spēles stilus, dodot katram no tiem vairākus ceļus uz uzvaru. Un tas ir spēles stilu sajaukums pie galda, kas galu galā nosaka ekosistēmu, kurā spēlētāji pielāgojas. Tāpēc pulcējiet draugus un noskaidrojiet, kurš var vislabāk pielāgoties mainīgajai pasaulei.
Šī spēle ir ieguvusi daudzas balvas, piemēram, Golden Geek, un tas ir labs iemesls, lai jūs to izmēģinātu tūlīt, ja vēl neesat spēlējis. Kā parasti, noklikšķiniet uz tālāk esošās saites:

Protams, neviena spēle bez izstrādātājiem, un šo spēli stst ir lieliski pielāgojusi mūsu platformai. Liels paldies viņam un, protams, visai North Star Games komandai un spēles dizaineriem Dominikam Krapučetam, Dmitrijam Knorrem un Sergejam Mačinam par viņu pilnvarojumu ieviest šo izcilo titulu Board Game Arena!
Bez šaubām, jūs varat tikt galā ar šo brīnišķīgo spēli ar dažiem draugiem vai nejaušiem pretiniekiem šeit un tur. Bet vai jūs uzkāpsiet pa Arēnas kāpnēm uz augšu?
Atklāsim to!
Un šodien tas arī viss.
Tiekamies pēc dažām dienām.
Līdz nākamajai nedēļai rūpējies, un...
Spēlē godīgi!
108 cards.
4 colors with values from 1 to 4.
In turn, each player draws a visible or hidden card and places it in their playing area.
When a pile is empty, the game stops and the points are counted.
Each player tries to score points by forming colored areas of at least 5 adjacent cards.
But players also try to respect the way of grouping the cards.
Otherwise they will lose points.
- a "4" must be in a group of exactly four "4s"
- a "3" must be in a group of exactly three "3s"
- a "2" must be in a group of exactly two "2s"
- a "1" must not be in contact with any other "1"
Butterflies present on certain cards earn a point if they are adjacent to a card of their color.
That's it. Simple. But beautiful. And you do not have to handle the scoring on Board Game Arena! ;)

We would like to thank Paul-Henri Argiot and the team from Actarus Publishing for bringing this game to the platform, as well as the efforts from Galeelox to make this adaptation!
That's it for today, see you on Wednesday for another release!
Until then, take care and play fair. :)
ZIEDI: spēks!
108 kartes.
4 krāsas ar vērtībām no 1 līdz 4.
Savukārt katrs spēlētājs izvelk redzamu vai slēptu kārti un novieto to savā spēles laukumā.
Kad kaudze ir tukša, spēle apstājas un punkti tiek skaitīti.
Katrs spēlētājs mēģina gūt punktus, veidojot krāsainus laukumus no vismaz 5 blakus esošajām kārtīm.
Taču spēlētāji arī cenšas ievērot kāršu grupēšanas veidu.
Pretējā gadījumā viņi zaudēs punktus.
- "4" ir jābūt tieši četru "4" grupā
- "3" ir jābūt tieši trīs "3" grupā
- "2" ir jābūt tieši divu "2" grupā
- "1" nedrīkst būt saskarē ar citu "1"
Tauriņi, kas atrodas uz noteiktām kārtīm, nopelna punktu, ja tie atrodas blakus savas krāsas kartītei.
Tieši tā. Vienkārši. Bet skaisti. Un jums nav jārisina punktu skaitīšana Board Game Arena! ;)

Līdz tam rūpējieties un spēlējiet godīgi. :)
2212: Ginkgo Biloba, the oldest and strongest tree in the world, has become the symbol of a new method for building cities in symbiosis with nature. Humans have exhausted the resources that the Earth offered them, and humanity must now develop cities that maintain a delicate balance between resource production and consumption. Habitable space is scarce, however, and mankind must now face the challenge of building ever upwards. To develop this new type of city, you will gather a team of experts around you, and try to become the best urban planner for Ginkgopolis.
In Ginkgopolis, the city tiles come in three colors: yellow, which provides victory points; red, which provides resources; and blue, which provides new city tiles. Some tiles start in play, and they are surrounded by letter markers that show where new tiles can be placed.
Begin with three Character cards which grant you starting resources and bonuses to power your game actions. On a turn, players choose a Construction or Urbanization card from their hand simultaneously. Players reveal these cards, adding new tiles to the border of the city in the appropriate location or placing tiles on top of existing tiles. Each card in your hand that you do not play is passed on to your left-hand neighbor, so keep in mind how your play might set up theirs!
When you build over a tile, you add its “power" card to your tableau, which provides you additional abilities during the game, allowing you to scale up your building and point-scoring efforts.
Build upwards as well as outwards to control the most buildings in a future eco-city!
Of course you are curious about it! Fortunately, if you have never played it, you can try it right now from your browser and learn it through its wonderful interactive tutorial included. Or click the link below to the setting page to find your next game partners, and table:

No games without game designers, and it is all thanks to Xavier Georges and the people from Pearl Games (Hello Seb!) who gave the authorization to bring this game online on our platform. And let's thank a lot locerol who joined the team for his efforts to make it playable from any devices!
That's it for today ;) It's spring, and you deserved a more complex game all about nature to relax while thinking your next moves...
What will be our next one ?
You have a week to guess.
Until then, take care and play fair!
GING... GINGKO... GINKGOPOLIS, tas viss ir par urbanistisko... urbanistisko distopiju!
2212: Ginkgo Biloba, vecākais un spēcīgākais koks pasaulē, ir kļuvis par simbolu jaunai metodei, kā veidot pilsētas simbiozē ar dabu. Cilvēki ir izsmēluši resursus, ko Zeme viņiem piedāvāja, un tagad cilvēcei ir jāattīsta pilsētas, kas uztur delikātu līdzsvaru starp resursu ražošanu un patēriņu. Tomēr apdzīvojamās platības ir maz, un cilvēcei tagad ir jāsaskaras ar izaicinājumu būvēt arvien uz augšu. Lai attīstītu šo jauno pilsētas veidu, jūs pulcēsit ap sevi ekspertu komandu un centīsities kļūt par labāko Ginkgopolisas pilsētplānotāju.
Ginkgopolē pilsētas flīzes ir trīs krāsās: dzeltenā, kas nodrošina uzvaras punktus; sarkans, kas nodrošina resursus; un zilā krāsā, kas nodrošina jaunas pilsētas flīzes. Dažas flīzes sākas spēlē, un tās ieskauj burtu marķieri, kas parāda, kur var novietot jaunas flīzes.
Sāciet ar trim rakstzīmju kārtīm, kas piešķir sākuma resursus un bonusus, lai veicinātu spēles darbības. Kārtas laikā spēlētāji vienlaikus izvēlas Būvniecības vai Urbanizācijas karti no savas rokas. Spēlētāji atklāj šīs kārtis, pievienojot jaunas flīzes pilsētas robežai atbilstošā vietā vai novietojot flīzes virs esošajām flīzēm. Katra jūsu rokā esošā kārts, kuru jūs neizspēlējat, tiek nodota jūsu kreisās puses kaimiņam, tāpēc ņemiet vērā, kā jūsu spēle var iestatīt viņu!
Kad jūs veidojat virs flīzes, jūs pievienojat tās “spēka” karti savai tabulai, kas sniedz jums papildu spējas spēles laikā, ļaujot jums palielināt ēkas un punktu gūšanas centienus.
Veidojiet gan uz augšu, gan uz āru, lai kontrolētu lielāko daļu ēku nākotnes ekoloģiskajā pilsētā!
Protams, jūs par to interesējaties! Par laimi, ja jūs to nekad neesat spēlējis, varat to izmēģināt tieši tagad savā pārlūkprogrammā un apgūt to, izmantojot iekļauta brīnišķīga interaktīvā apmācība . Vai noklikšķiniet uz tālāk esošās saites uz iestatījumu lapu, lai atrastu savus nākamos spēļu partnerus un tabulu:

Nav spēļu bez spēļu dizaineriem, un tas viss ir pateicoties Xavier Georges un cilvēkiem no Pearl Games (Sveiki, Seb!), kuri deva atļauju ievietot šo spēli tiešsaistē mūsu platformā. Un liels paldies locerol, kurš pievienojās komandai par viņa centieniem padarīt to spēlējamu no jebkuras ierīces!
Tas šodienai ;) Ir pavasaris, un jūs esat pelnījuši sarežģītāku spēli par dabu, lai atpūstos, domājot par turpmākajām kustībām...
Kāds būs mūsu nākamais?
Jums ir nedēļa laika uzminēt.
Līdz tam rūpējies un spēlē godīgi!

The physical version release is estimated for MAY 2024. But the publisher Gigamic was kind enough to release the game on Board Game Arena first for you to discover and enjoy it before it hits the shelves of your favorite shops!
We would love to also thank Charles Chevallier (Abyss) and Laurent Escoffier, the game designers, for their authorization to bring the game to our platform.
The game adaptation has been done by dahrf and he deserves some love for his overall work done here: you can play this game from any web-enabled devices, thanks to him.
And that's it for today!
We have plenty of viking-based games available on BGA now. Which one will get your favor?
Let us know in the comments!
Until next week, as always,
Take care and play fair!
LOOOT: Vikingi uz klāja! (Atskaņojiet to pirms oficiālās izlaišanas.)
Vietnē Looot jums ir jāapkopo resursi un jāiegūst ēkas, lai attīstītu savu fjordu. Piepildiet savus kuģus un pabeidziet būvlaukumus, lai savāktu uzvaras punktus. Saglabājiet visvairāk bagātību, un jūs tiksiet kronēts par vikingu jarlu!
Redzot pie apvāršņa jūsu lepno garo kuģu buras, šīs zemes iedzīvotāji drosmīgi bēga. Saņemiet daudzas preces un ēkas, kas palikušas gandrīz bez aizsardzības, un aizvediet tās atpakaļ uz savu fjordu, lai kļūtu par nākamo vikingu karali!
IZVĒLĒTIES Kvadrātu
Izvēlieties laukumu blakus citam vikingam vai drakkaram.
Novietojiet savu vikingu
Novietojiet savu vikingu uz izvēlētā laukuma, pēc tam paņemiet savam laukumam atbilstošu resursu no rezervāta. Ja atbilstat ēkas ņemšanas nosacījumiem, varat to arī iemūžināt.
Sakārtojiet savus dārgumus FJORDĀ
Sakārtojiet savus dārgumus savā zemē, lai sasniegtu mērķus un iegūtu visvairāk punktu.
Vikingu laupīšanas atmosfēra spēlē ar lielisku atkārtojamību, pateicoties tās modulārajam dēlim!
Tas ir vienkārši, izcili, un vissvarīgākais ir jūsu stratēģija! Izmēģiniet to tagad, noklikšķinot uz tālāk esošās saites:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=looot
Tiek lēsts, ka fiziskās versijas izlaišana notiks 2024. GADA MAIJĀ. Taču izdevējs Gigamic bija laipns un izlaida spēli Board Game Arena lai jūs to varētu atklāt un izbaudīt, pirms tā nonāk jūsu iecienītāko veikalu plauktos!
Mēs vēlētos pateikties arī Charles Chevallier (Abyss) un Laurent Escoffier, spēļu dizaineriem, par viņu pilnvarojumu ieviest spēli mūsu platformā.
Spēles adaptāciju ir veicis dahrf, un viņš ir pelnījis zināmu mīlestību par savu šeit paveikto darbu: pateicoties viņam, jūs varat spēlēt šo spēli no jebkuras tīmekļa ierīces.
Un tas šodienai!
Mums tagad BGA ir pieejams daudz uz vikingu balstītu spēļu. Kurš saņems tavu labvēlību?
Paziņojiet mums komentāros!
Līdz nākamajai nedēļai, kā vienmēr,
Rūpējies un spēlē godīgi!
Congratulations to all participants and winners from the previous season!
But wait, what exactly is "the Arena?"
The Arena is the competitive mode on BGA. If you master a game and want to play it competitively, this is THE mode to use, so you can challenge the best players and get the most experience points.
The Arena is organized in seasons of 3 months each. Achievements are awarded to the best players at the end of each season.
To play in the Arena: select "Play" and then choose "Arena" instead of "Simple game."
Arena format and Gurus
In the previous seasons, it was you (more exactly the gurus) who chose the game formats for the Arena: player number, options used, ...
We are very happy to see that this way of doing things contributed to making the Arena more popular: thank you to all gurus for their smart suggestions and their votes!
Rules updates
No Arena rules are changing this season. It does not mean we are 100% satisfied with how the Arena is running, but you seem to appreciate the current rules so we want to keep them as they are for now.
Season 17 is NOW Launched.
The new Arena is now open for its new season.
Some Explanation About: Relegations
At the end of each season, after winners have been awarded, you are relegated.
Some custom relegation rules may have been applied to games for some reason (ex: we decided to update the number of leagues), but in general here is what happens:
- For games with 6 or 5 different leagues, all players are decreased by 3 leagues.
- For games with 4 different leagues, all players are decreased by 2 leagues.
- For games with 2 or 3 different leagues, all players are decreased by 1 league.
- For all games and all leagues, your number of Arena points is reset to 1, and your AES ("Arena Elo") is reset to 1500.
It's up to you to find the way to the elite!
May the odds be ever in your favor!
You'll find soon below the updated options for each game for this new arena season
Arēna 17. sezona: plaukstošu cīņu pavasaris!
Apsveicam visus dalībniekus un uzvarētājus no iepriekšējās sezonas!
Bet pagaidiet, kas īsti ir "Arēna?"
Arēna ir konkurences režīms uz BGA. Ja pārvaldāt spēli un vēlaties to spēlēt konkurētspējīgi, šis ir TO režīms, kas jāizmanto, lai jūs varētu izaicināt labākos spēlētājus un iegūt visvairāk pieredzes punktu.
Arēna tiek organizēta 3 mēnešu sezonās. Par sasniegumiem katras sezonas beigās tiek apbalvoti labākie spēlētāji.
Lai spēlētu arēnā: atlasiet "Spēlēt" un pēc tam izvēlieties "Arēna", nevis "Vienkārša spēle".
Uzziniet vairāk par arēnas režīmu
Arēnas formāts un guru
Iepriekšējās sezonās tieši jūs (precīzāk guru) izvēlējāties arēnas spēļu formātus: spēlētāja numurs. , izmantotās iespējas, ...
Esam ļoti priecīgi redzēt, ka šāds darbības veids ir veicinājis Arēnas popularitāti: paldies visiem guru par gudrajiem ieteikumiem un balsojumiem!
Noteikumu atjauninājumi
Šosezon Arēnas noteikumi nemainās. Tas nenozīmē, ka esam 100% apmierināti ar Arēnas darbību, taču šķiet, ka jūs novērtējat pašreizējos noteikumus, tāpēc mēs vēlamies tos saglabāt tādus, kādi tie ir šobrīd.
17. sezona TAGAD ir uzsākta.
Jaunā arēna tagad ir atvērta savai jaunajai sezonai.
Daži skaidrojumi par: pazemināšanu
Katras sezonas beigās, kad uzvarētāji ir apbalvoti, jūs tiekat pazemināts.
Iespējams, spēlēm kādu iemeslu dēļ tika piemēroti daži pielāgoti pazemināšanas noteikumi (piemēram, mēs nolēmām atjaunināt līgu skaitu), taču kopumā notiek šādi:
- Spēlēm ar 6 vai 5 dažādām līgām visi spēlētāji tiek samazināti par 3 līgām.
- Spēlēm ar 4 dažādām līgām visi spēlētāji tiek samazināti par 2 līgām.
- Spēlēm ar 2 vai 3 dažādām līgām visi spēlētāji tiek samazināti par 1 līgu. - Visām spēlēm un visām līgām jūsu arēnas punktu skaits tiek atiestatīts uz 1, un jūsu AES ("Arena Elo") ir atiestatīts uz 1500.
Jūsu ziņā ir atrast ceļu uz eliti!
Lai izredzes vienmēr ir jūsu labā!
Drīzumā zemāk atradīsit atjauninātās opcijas katrai spēlei šajā jaunajā arēnas sezonā
You know the road to take, but can not remember the name of the places to go? This one is for you, confused tourists.
In Word Traveler, you and your friends are tourists who are checking out the sights of a new city. Each player has their own secret map of locations that they want to visit, and they will need help from the other players to reach them.
Taking turns playing the traveler and the locals, you all work together to visit as many of these locations as possible, ideally collecting all of the golden souvenirs that you find.
You know only a few words of the local language, however, so the locals- that is, the other players- will do their best to interpret your clues to help get you where you want to go...without getting lost in translation.
It is a very fun game for people who love to scratch their head on how to communicate an idea to others. We had a blast playing it, and a lot of laughs.
So, gather your friends, turn on your mic, and try to find the place your partners wants to go!
It's all available here, in many languages, and it's also a good way to learn new ones:

We should thank the Office Dog publishing team, as well as Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance for their authorization to adapt this amazing communication game to Board Game Arena. And let's not forget the work beautifully done by LeSteffen for adapting, developing and bringing this game live to your desktop!
That's it for today.
Don't get lost in the next releases: there's a lot of novelties coming your way!
Until Wednesday for our WRT (Wednesday Release Time),
Take care, and... Play fair!
VĀRDS CEĻOTĀJS: nākamajā Cheesy vietā pagriezieties pa kreisi uz Squishy, tad tieši uz Majestic. Tu esi klāt!
Jūs zināt, kāds ceļš ejams, bet nevarat atcerēties vietu nosaukumus, kur doties? Šis ir jums, apmulsušie tūristi.
Programmā Word Traveler jūs un jūsu draugi esat tūristi, kas apskata jaunas pilsētas apskates vietas. Katram spēlētājam ir sava slepenā atrašanās vietu karte, kuru viņi vēlas apmeklēt, un, lai tos sasniegtu, viņiem būs nepieciešama citu spēlētāju palīdzība.
Pamīšus tēlojot ceļotājus un vietējos iedzīvotājus, jūs visi strādājat kopā, lai apmeklētu pēc iespējas vairāk no šīm vietām, ideālā gadījumā savācot visus atrastos zelta suvenīrus.
Tomēr jūs zināt tikai dažus vārdus vietējā valodā, tāpēc vietējie iedzīvotāji, tas ir, pārējie spēlētāji, darīs visu iespējamo, lai interpretētu jūsu pavedienus, lai palīdzētu jums nokļūt tur, kur vēlaties doties... nezaudējot tulkojumā.
Tā ir ļoti jautra spēle cilvēkiem, kuriem patīk kasīt galvu par to, kā darīt zināmu ideju citiem. Mēs to spēlējām ļoti jautri un daudz smējāmies.
Tāpēc pulcējiet draugus, ieslēdziet mikrofonu un mēģiniet atrast vietu, uz kuru vēlas doties jūsu partneri!
Tas viss šeit ir pieejams daudzās valodās, un tas ir arī labs veids, kā apgūt jaunas:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=wordtraveler
Mums jāpateicas Office Dog izdevēju komandai, kā arī Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance par viņu pilnvarojumu pielāgot šo apbrīnojamo saziņas spēli Board Game Arena. Un neaizmirsīsim LeSteffen brīnišķīgo darbu, pielāgojot, attīstot un ievietojot šo spēli tiešraidē uz jūsu darbvirsmas!
Tas šodienai.
Neapmaldieties nākamajos laidienos: jūsu rīcībā ir daudz jaunumu!
Līdz trešdienai mūsu WRT (trešdienas izlaišanas laiks)
Uzmanieties un... Spēlējiet godīgi!
