Cheesemakers compete to run the most prosperous creamery in France.

You are a French cheesemaker in the early 20th century making, aging, and selling your artisanal cheeses. Become the most prestigious cheesemaker in all of France by running a highly successful creamery and crafting exceptional cheese.

Fromage is a simultaneous worker-placement game where players place Workers to make cheese and gather resources from the quadrant of the board facing them. Once all players have placed their Workers, the board rotates, aging any cheese that was made, and presenting each player with a new quadrant to place Workers into. Score Prestige Points by selling cheese to the four locations, and by efficiently managing and upgrading your creamery.

In Small World, players compete for dominance in a world that is far too small to house all its inhabitants peacefully.

Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a whimsical, fantasy successor to his acclaimed game Vinci, Small World is teeming with colorful characters like dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and humans. Each race battles for control by occupying territories and conquering neighbors, striving to push rival civilizations off the map.

Players choose from 14 unique fantasy races and pair them with 20 distinct special powers to create dynamic combinations. The goal is to expand your empire rapidly- but knowing when to let your overextended civilization decline and switch to a fresh one is just as crucial for success.

Each turn, you use your active race's tiles to occupy adjacent territories, defeating weaker opponents where necessary. When a race becomes too stretched to continue thriving, you can put it "into decline" by flipping its tiles to their black-and-white side, making room for a new, active race.

At the end of every turn, you earn coins for each territory your races control. You may have one active race and one declining race on the board simultaneously, with occupation totals influenced by race-specific abilities and the regions they occupy. After the final round, the player with the most coins emerges victorious.

Small World offers a fast-paced, strategic experience where timing and tactical decisions are key to conquering this overcrowded fantasy land.

The game is an absolute classic for more than 15 years now, and it was more than time for it to be available for all on our platform.

During the medieval goings-on around Orléans, you must assemble a following of farmers, merchants, knights, monks, etc. to gain supremacy through trade, construction, and science in medieval France.

In Orléans, you will recruit followers and put them to work to make use of their abilities. Farmers and Boatmen supply you with money and goods; Knights expand your scope of action and secure your mercantile expeditions; Craftsmen build trading stations and tools to facilitate work; Scholars make progress in science; Traders open up new locations for you to use your followers; and last but not least, it cannot hurt to invest in monasteries because with Monks on your side you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.

You will always want to take more actions than possible, and there are many paths to victory. The challenge is to combine all elements as best as possible with regard to your strategy.

The game won a dozen different awards worldwide, and that is for a solid reason: it has became a reference for demanding serious gamers.

Luckily, you can not only play it now on Board Game Arena, but also learn it in no-time by using the tutorial by Scribal. Simply click the link below:

Such a big game requires a lot of effort, and we would love to thank the wonderful work done by jordijansen for coding and developing it for BGA. It plays well, but do not hesitate to report bugs if you ever encounter one... or two. But remember that a rule that doesn't seem right to you may be caused by a misreading or simply some bad habits: We try to make sure that the rules are always implemented according to the original printed rulebook. How many times did it happened to you? Let us know in the comments. ;)

That's it for today!

See you in a few days for more exciting news.
Until then, as always... Take care and play fair!

A new map and new rules!

Ticket to Ride: Switzerland comes with a new board, 46 new destination cards and a set of rules to create a new game.

The Ticket to Ride: Switzerland map and rules first appeared as an exclusive map for the Ticket to Ride computer game. In addition to being specifically designed for a smaller number of players the map has several new features. Locomotive cards are used exclusively for tunnels (which work as they do in Ticket to Ride: Europe).

Some destination cards have an end point inside Switzerland and other possible ends in adjacent countries (the value of the completed card is based on the farthest possible connection completed). There are also destination cards for connections between adjacent countries.

And it's available right now for you all to play and enjoy a new ride, by clicking the link below, and selecting the Swiss map major option:

Survive The Island is a cutthroat game in which players race to evacuate their adventurers — especially those of a high value — from a sinking island to maximize their score.

An island made up of forty hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean as tiles are removed from the board. Each player controls ten people (valued 1-5) that they try to move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island's volcanoes finally erupt. Players can either swim or use rafts to travel, but must avoid sea serpents, kaiju, and sharks on their way to safety.

But your meeples aren’t all the same. Each has a number from 1 to 5 on the bottom, representing the number of points they are worth if rescued. Players can note these numbers during initial placement, but can’t look during the game.

On your turn you’re given 3 movements, either of meeples across land or rafts across water. Use them wisely!

Then rising waters occur, removing one of the island tiles, leaving only water. When an island tile is removed, the player flips it to see if they should take an immediate action (like spawning a new sea creature) or if they are given a one-time ability they can use later in the game, like having a friendly dolphin move you extra spaces.

Finally, you roll the creature die and move the baddies accordingly. These monsters can knock meeples out of the game, losing those points for good.

The game ends when there are no adventurers left to rescue, or a 3rd volcano erupts. Count up points on the bottom of your rescued meeples - highest points wins!


Survive the Island is a straightforward, easy to learn game and a light-hearted one. One thing to note is that although your main goal is rescuing your own meeples, there is a bit of “take that” in the process. After all, when you have to move the monsters, you aren’t going to send them after your own meeples!

Sounds fun, right? You can enjoy it right now on Board Game Arena by clicking the link below and discovering all the details before engaging in a game:

In Riftforce, the two-player duel card game, each player starts by drafting four of the ten different guilds, each with a unique power, to forge their own asymmetrical alliance. Every game of Riftforce gives you a chance to discover new synergies between guilds, which will greatly influence your overall strategy and strengths. Can you combine the flexible and mobile water guild with the all-consuming fire elementals, who even harm their allies, and unleash their full potential?

The guilds’ elementals are the lifeblood of the game - they are your troops and at the same time the resource necessary to attack. Soon you will find yourself wondering how to use them best. Each turn you are torn, choosing one of three possible actions. Do you want to strengthen your position at the Rift, sacrifice elementals for powerful combo attacks, or gather support for your next turn?

Gain Riftforce by destroying the elements of your opponent and by controlling locations along the Rift. Only then will you ascend and win the game.

Discovering new synergies between the different guilds, clever gameplay combos, and the game's deep strategic layers will keep you coming back for more.

Rules are short, and the amazing gameplay may hit you right in the knee if you're not prepared. Feeling brave enough? Click the link below and play it now:

...And that's a good reason to have a look at it!

The gameboard of Finca shows the mediterranean island of Mallorca. Players try to crop and deliver the fruits of Mallorca (such as oranges, lemons, almonds, grapes etc.) by means of moving workers on a traditional windmill. Object of the game is to distribute your crop as effectively as possible in order to deliver faster than your opponents.

From the Box: Mallorca, Island of the Wind. A place of golden beaches and a light-blue sea. The almond harvest is at hand, in addition, juicy oranges, lemons, and figs are ready to be picked and taken to the market. Olive trees bewitch the country with their curled branches and sumptuous vineyards invite passers-by to walk among their warm earth. In the midst of this landscape, your centuries-old natural stone farmhouse provides a home and supports your large windmill: your FINCA.

Listen to the wind, which propels your windmill! Then take in the course of the yearly harvest the sweetest and most valuable fruits from the land. Load them on your old donkey cart and travel around the island, selling them everywhere. If you manage this quickly, you will soon be the richest farmer on the island.

You can play with up to 5, right now from your browser, and discover how talented a farmer you are:

Salutations, neighbor, and welcome to Furroughfield, the Commonwealth of Free Beasts! Ours is a budding farm town with soil ripe for planting.

In Harvest, you take on the role of a farmer, each with their own unique penchant for working the land, and choose a farmhouse with its own special round-to-round benefit. Each round, you draft sunrise cards that give you a one-time income and determine turn order for the round. Following that turn order, move your wheelbarrows around town to gather resources that you will use to manage your fields. Plant seeds, tend the land, and harvest crops to make money and score points. Clear land to expand your farm, and construct buildings that make your land more efficient and give you endgame bonuses. By the end of harvest season, the farmer with the most points wins!

That's an amazingly easy to learn but hard to master game there, and you can learn it in no-time by going through the included tutorial, or by clicking the game page link below:

https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=harvest

Note that you can enjoy the game in solo mode, and challenge yourself before diving in a competitive game!

Build up your kingdom by getting your hands on the best cards.

It's a Wonderful Kingdom is a standalone 2-player game in a Low-Fantasy universe. Inspired by the core mechanics of its predecessor "It's a Wonderful World," this new game offers more interaction, a bluff mechanism, and new challenges.

The game is played using different modules that offer mechanical twists. Each game, players will choose one of the different modules to compete against each other. The game is divided into 4 rounds, each having 3 phases.

Split & Trap
Players take turns offering their cards to one another in two areas in the center of the table.

One player picks 2 cards from their hand and either places them in the same area or splits them between the two areas. The other player chooses an area and claims the card(s) in it. The players take turns repeating this step until both players have offered all of their cards. Each player has 2 Trap tokens which can be used to place cards face down, otherwise all cards are played face up.

Planification

Each player chooses which of the cards they have collected to build and which ones to recycle for immediate resources.

Sequential Production

Each player produces their Kingdom's resources sequentially. Since resources are produced in a specific order, it is important to plan ahead to optimize your production and development.

At the end of the fourth round, the player with the most victory points wins the game.

And it is all available by clicking on the link below, right after you learn it from the tutorial:

And we would love to thank all the team from La Boîte de Jeu, as well as the game designer Frédéric Guérard for their authorization to bring the game online. Let's also celebrate the work done by Moof for you all to play it well on any devices!
