*It's been a rough year.
*For everyone, worldwide. And it still is.
During this strange time we welcomed more and more players from all around the globe, more developers, more publishers and, overall, more games.
We would like to send our warmest thanks to all of our Premium users: you're not only helping support the infrastructure, but also publishers and game designers from anywhere in the world.
Also, we received many emails telling us about how Board Game Arena helped many people stay sane while in lock-down. To play with friends, family, relatives...
*We keep thinking about all of these messages. And we're thankful to all of the people helping us in here.
It's also a curious time, since having close to **5M player accounts **on BGA isn't something easy to manage. But our small team is on it, 24h a day, 7 days a week, to keep things as enjoyable as we can.
We're improving, tinkering, ding-a-ling every part of the website.
It's not perfect, but we try to improve it: next year could bring some new things to BGA, and a lot of improvements are in progress.
We expect you to be able to witness and enjoy all of this next year.
**But for now, we're close to end this one, since tomorrow we'll be in December.
**
As the year was hard, we wanted to thank you for playing on BGA and supporting us.
We have more publishers joining BGA every day, as well as developers.
And we just can't keep the usual Wednesday Release schedule.
Not that we're missing games, but actually the opposite: we have a lot, and we need to release more of them!
That's why we came up with a simple idea: Like an advent calendar, let's make this one an
"OPUS MAGNUM CALENDAR".
Opus Magnum is Latin for Masterpiece. Could also be used as "Work well done".
We pushed our team to the limit, with the help of our developers, to bring you a special FULL month of NEW games.
How ?
Starting from today, you might have seen a new block below the headline blocks on our home page:
A December 2020 Calendar.
Each days of December, you'll be able to click the daily gift that will show you our release of the day.
Yes.
ONE New Game Release EACH DAY. For 31 Days.
That's 31 Games for December.
From classics to novelties, indies to famous titles, you'll have a new game to discover each time the moon rises (on Paris time).
You'll be able to click on the calendar to see the new games, and you'll also be able to find the releases listed in this post.
But we added a small feature on the calendar: if you come each day to click on the daily gift, you'll get a Trophy as a reward depending on how many days you were able to do so in a row.
That's a way for us to know what has been seen, what has been clicked, and a way to know if that kind of idea can be used on front page to offer more things, later.
*So, for now, here are the games released (the list will be updated daily):

We're really waiting on your feedback about this special event, that is a way to thank all of our members who are making BGA the world's #1 place to play boardgames.
If you want to help furthermore publishers and game designers, don't forget that you can also buy the real games from many shops around the world, in your area. If you enjoy them, that's also a good way to reward them.
*We would like to thanks all our partners for their efforts during this year.
The best is yet to come.
And next year, we're expecting to continue offering you the best we can.
Take care and... play fair!*

Opus Magnum decembris: Beigsim šo gadu skaisti, kopā.
Tas ir bijis aptuvens gads.
Visiem, visā pasaulē.
Un tas joprojām ir.
Šajā dīvainajā laikā mēs uzņēma arvien vairāk spēlētāju no visas pasaules, vairāk izstrādātāju, vairāk izdevēju un kopumā vairāk spēļu.
Mēs vēlamies sūtīt vislielāko paldies visiem mūsu Premium lietotājiem: jūs ne tikai palīdzat atbalstīt infrastruktūru, bet arī izdevējiem un spēļu dizaineriem no jebkuras vietas pasaulē.
Turklāt mēs saņēmām daudz e-pasta ziņojumu, kurā pastāstīja par to, kā Board Game Arena daudziem cilvēkiem palīdzēja palikt prātīgiem, atrodoties slēdzienā.
Spēlēties ar draugiem, ģimeni, radiem ...
Mēs turpinām domāt par visiem šiem ziņojumiem.
Mēs esam pateicīgi visiem cilvēkiem, kas mums šeit palīdz.
Tas ir arī kuriozs laiks, jo gandrīz 5 miljonu spēlētāju kontu BGA pārvaldīšana nav kaut kas viegli pārvaldāms.
Bet mūsu mazā komanda ir tajā 24 stundas diennaktī, 7 dienas nedēļā, lai saglabātu lietas pēc iespējas patīkamākas.
Mēs pilnveidojam, lāpām, ding-a-ling katru vietnes daļu.
Tas nav ideāls, taču mēs cenšamies to uzlabot: nākamgad BGA varētu ienest dažas jaunas lietas, un pašlaik notiek daudz uzlabojumu.
Mēs sagaidām, ka nākamajā gadā jūs varēsit liecināt par visu šo lietu.
Bet pagaidām mēs esam tuvu tam, lai šo beigtu, jo rīt būsim decembrī.
Tā kā gads bija grūts, mēs vēlējāmies pateikties, ka spēlējāt BGA un atbalstījāt mūs.
Mums katru dienu BGA pievienojas vairāk izdevēju, kā arī izstrādātāju.
Un mēs vienkārši nevaram ievērot ierasto trešdienas izlaišanas grafiku.
Ne tāpēc, ka mums trūkst spēļu, bet patiesībā ir tieši otrādi: mums ir daudz, un mums ir jāizlaiž vairāk no tām!
Tāpēc mēs nāca klajā ar vienkāršu ideju: Tāpat kā Adventa kalendāru, padarīsim šo vienu par
"OPUS MAGNUM CALENDAR".
Opus Magnum ir latīņu valoda šedevram.
Varētu izmantot arī kā "Labi padarīts darbs".
Mēs ar savu izstrādātāju palīdzību novirzījām savu komandu uz robežu, lai sniegtu jums īpašu PILNU JAUNU spēļu mēnesi.
Kā?
Sākot ar šodienu, iespējams, esat redzējis jaunu bloku zem virsrakstu blokiem mūsu mājas lapā:
2020. gada decembra kalendārs.
Katru decembra dienu jūs varēsiet noklikšķināt uz ikdienas dāvanas, kas parādīs mūsu dienas atbrīvošanu.
Jā.
VIENA Jauna spēles izlaidums KATRU DIENU. 31 dienu.
Tas ir 31 spēles decembrī.
Sākot no klasikas līdz jaunumiem, indiem līdz slaveniem nosaukumiem, jums būs jauna spēle, ko atklāt katru reizi, kad mēness lec (pēc Parīzes laika).
Jūs varēsiet noklikšķināt uz kalendāra, lai redzētu jaunās spēles, kā arī varēsiet atrast šajā ierakstā uzskaitītos laidienus.
Bet kalendārā mēs pievienojām nelielu funkciju: ja katru dienu nākat noklikšķināt uz ikdienas dāvanas, jūs saņemsiet balvu kā balvu atkarībā no tā, cik dienas jūs to varējāt izdarīt pēc kārtas.
Tas ir veids, kā mēs varam uzzināt redzēto, noklikšķināto un uzzināt, vai šāda veida ideju var izmantot pirmajā lapā, lai vēlāk piedāvātu vairāk lietu.
Tātad, pagaidām šeit ir izlaistas spēles (saraksts tiks atjaunināts katru dienu):
- decembra izlaidums:
Thurn & Taxis, 2006 Spiel des Jahres, projektējis
Andreas Seyfarth un Karen Seyfarth, kurus BGA izstrādāja Volker78 & tutchek

Lūdzu, neaizmirstiet, ka par jebkurām problēmām vai kļūdām varat ziņot, izmantojot mūsu kļūdu ziņojuma veidlapu vietnes apakšdaļā. Jūs sazināsieties tieši ar izstrādātājiem, un tādējādi viņi ātri varēs novērst problēmas. Bet neaizmirstiet pirms tam izlasīt spēļu noteikumus
Mēs ļoti gaidām jūsu atsauksmes par šo īpašo notikumu, tas ir veids, kā pateikties visiem mūsu biedriem, kuri padara BGA par pasaules pirmo vietu galda spēļu spēlēšanai.
Ja vēlaties palīdzēt izdevējiem un spēļu dizaineriem, neaizmirstiet, ka īstās spēles varat iegādāties arī daudzos jūsu reģiona veikalos. Ja jums tās patīk, tas ir arī labs veids, kā viņus apbalvot.
Mēs vēlamies pateikties visiem mūsu partneriem par viņu centieniem šajā gadā.
Labākais vēl tikai priekšā.
Un nākamgad mēs sagaidām, ka turpināsim piedāvāt jums labāko, ko varam.
Rūpēties un ... spēlē godīgi!
Īans, Gregs, Emanuels un Jurika.
BGA komanda.
