O básico no Board Game Arena

O que é o 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!

Para uma rápida visão geral, por favor, confira nossa página 'BGA introduction'.

O que significa "modo em tempo real"?

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

O que significa "em turnos"?

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.

Do que preciso para jogar?

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.

Para uma melhor experiência, nós recomendamos os seguinte navegadores:
  • Google Chrome 10+
  • Mozilla Firefox 4+
Oficialmente oferecemos suporte aos seguintes navegadores:
  • Google Chrome 4+

Jogando

Como iniciar uma nova partida?

Go on the 'Play now' section, select your prefered game mode (ex: 'Real-time'), find the game you want to play, and then click on the 'Play' button.
  • Se você selecionou o modo 'Oponentes automáticos', basta aguardar pelos oponentes.
  • 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!

E se ninguém juntar-se à minha mesa?

Para os jogos mais populares, você consegue encontrar jogadores a qualquer hora do dia. Para os outros jogos, se não conseguir encontrar oponentes no momento, nós sugerimos que volte no horário de pico (cerca de 22:00 CEST (Lisboa 20:00, Brasília 17:00)).

Dica: cheque o número de jogadores disponíveis/online para um jogo antes de criar uma mesa.
Dica: se ninguém estiver disponível para um jogo em tempo-real, você pode transformar sua mesa para uma baseada em turnos, para que outro jogador possa se juntar à mesa mesmo horas/dias após você a ter criado.

Posso juntar-me a múltiplas mesas de jogos em tempo real ao mesmo tempo?

Sim, você pode juntar-se ou criar múltiplas mesas de jogo em tempo real ao mesmo tempo, utilizando o Lobby Manual.

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

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

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

Outro exemplo: se você quer jogar Saboteur, recomendamos a você, juntar-se todas as mesas abertas.

Juntei-me a um jogo. Quando é que o jogo começa?

Para jogos em tempo real, cada mesa tem um anfitrião que é o criador da mesa. É responsabilidade do anfitrião da mesa iniciar o jogo quando ele estiver satisfeito com o número de jogadores que se juntaram à mesa. Se você é o anfitrião da mesa e não consegue iniciar o jogo, na maioria das vezes é porque ainda não há jogadores suficientes na mesa.

Para jogos baseados em turnos, o jogo começa assim que o número máximo de jogadores for atingido. O anfitrião da mesa também pode decidir iniciar o jogo manualmente a qualquer momento após a entrada do número mínimo de jogadores necessários para jogar esse jogo.

Como posso jogar um jogo solo?

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."

Para iniciar um jogo para jogar sozinho com o lobby "Manual":
  • Criar uma nova mesa
  • Selecione "Modo Amigável" para a opção "Modo de Jogo"
  • Reduza o número de jogadores para 1
  • Abra a mesa para outros jogadores (nenhum neste caso, mas ainda é um passo necessário)
  • Comece o jogo.

Para iniciar um jogo solo com o lobby "Automático":
  • Clique no ícone de engrenagem para alterar as opções
  • Clique em "Mostrar opções avançadas"
  • Defina "Modo Amigável" para verde e "Modo Normal" para vermelho na opção "Modo de Jogo"
  • Defina "1 jogador" para verde e todas as outras opções para vermelho na opção "Número de jogadores"
  • Clique em "Jogar agora."

O que significa o círculo colorido ao lado do nome de um jogador?

online_.png : Esse é o jogador ativo. Ele ou ela completou uma ação muito recentemente.
inactive_.png : This player is inactive. He or she is connected to the website but has not performed any action recently.
offline_.png : Este jogador está offline.

O que significa os ícones ao lado do nome de um jogador?

active_player.gif : Esse jogador deve fazer um movimento agora.
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.

Um jogador não está jogando. O que posso fazer?

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:
  • Este jogador recebeu uma penalidade de reputação do tipo 'abandono' (ver 'reputação/karma para mais detalhes).
  • 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.
  • Todas as próximas jogadas deste jogador serão puladas.

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 :)

Como funciona exatamente o relógio do jogo?

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

Quando for a sua vez de pensar, o tempo restando em seu relógio decresce.

Regularmente (geralmente em cada "turno"), o seu tempo alocado é aumentado.

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.

Alguns detalhes e casos específicos:
  • 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.
  • Quando você joga um jogo pela primeira vez, todo o seu tempo é dobrado.
  • 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'.
Top

Como você domina os eventos aleatórios (jogada de dados, embaralhar de cartas, ...)?

Para dados e equivalentes ações "escolha um número", nós estamos usando a função PHP 'random_int'. This function has a cryptographically secure randomness, which means that it may be even better than real dice :)

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

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

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

E se um jogador fizer algo errado?

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. Os efeitos de um dedão vermelho são:
  • Este jogador não será mais capaz de jogar (exceto se vocês se encontrarem em um torneio).
  • Este jogador não será capaz de lhe enviar mensagens privadas ou assistir aos seus jogos como um espectador.

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

Usando o `Modo Automático` do lobby: como funcionam as preferências do jogo?

Quando usando o lobby em "Modo Automático", você pode especificar suas preferências para uma variedade de opções para jogar ao clicar na engrenagem.
  • `Eu aceito jogar com...` significa que você está a fim de jogar com esta opção.
  • `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.

Por quanto tempo uma partida permanece aberta se ninguém decidir mais jogar?

Quando ninguém fez um movimento em uma mesa de jogo por um tempo, ela é fechada automaticamente para liberar recursos do servidor:
  • A real-time table is closed automatically if more than 4 hours have elapsed since its creation and if all players at this table are now offline.
  • Uma mesa jogada em turnos será automaticamente encerrada se nenhum movimento tiver sido feito em 40 dias.

O que são jogos em versão Alfa e Beta e por que nós alertamos sobre eles?

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.

Sua conta, reputação e classificação

Como funciona minha pontuação de reputação (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.

Seus Karma inicial é 75☯ (em um máximo de 100☯). Então:
  • Cada vez que você termina o jogo, se o seu cronômetro nunca ficou negativo, você ganha +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.
  • Se você perder jogo de torneio anunciado: -4☯.

Qual é o código de conduta?

No Board Game Arena, você não pode:
  • Ficar sem tempo no relógio de jogo.
  • Sair de propósito de um jogo em progresso .
  • 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).
  • Praticar provocação / triunfalismo / derrotismo... Qualquer coisa que não seja fair play.
  • Use an avatar that may be shocking or offensive to other players (no advertisement, no politics, ...)
Quebrar estas regras afetará sua reputação.

Por que recebi um aviso de endereço IP ao ingressar em uma mesa?

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'.

O que é absolutamente proibido?

No Board Game Arena, é absolutamente proibido:
  • Insultar de alguma maneira outros jogadores.
  • Criar várias contas e jogar contra si mesmo para melhorar o ranking de uma pessoa.
  • Trollagem, críticas a administradores, críticas a moderadores, críticas vazias ou difamação.
Going against these rules can lead to the removal of your account and/or a ban from the website.

Quais regras eu devo seguir ao me comunicar?

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. E é sempre ótimo jogar com amigos!

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'.

Torneios e karma: como isso funciona?

Há uma reputação mínima a ser alcançada para jogar cada torneio (o padrão é 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).

Como a minha pontuação ELO é computada?

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.

No BGA, você tem um ranking ELO para cada jogo diferente. Quando você nunca jogou um jogo, seu ELO é zero.

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

The most simple situation is a 2 players game. You will gain a number of ELO point equal to K x (W - p(D)) where:
  • W é o resultado do jogo: 1 para vitória, 0 para derrota, 0,5 para empate.
  • O ""D" é a diferença de ELO entre você e seu oponente.
  • p(D) is the probability of victory considering the previous difference (see Wikipedia for details).
  • K, o 'fator de elasticidade', tem um valor que depende na quantidade de jogos jogados: 60 para seus primeiros 10 jogos, 40 entre seu 11.º e 20.º jogos, 20 para seu 21.º em diante.

Mais alguns detalhes e casos específicos:
  • No seu primeiro jogo, você sempre ganha pelo menos 1 de ELO, mesmo que perca o jogo.
  • 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+).

Por que rankings e modos competitivos foram desabilitados para alguns jogos?

Alguns jogos não são apropriados para competição online na Board Game Arena.Isso pode acontecer por vários motivos:
  • 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;
  • o jogo pode ter sido resolvido;
  • 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).

Por que não recebi um troféu de primeira classe para este jogo?

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.

Como excluir minha conta?

Tome um fôlego... Por que você gostaria de fazer isso?
Nós sentiremos sua falta!
De qualquer jeito, se você está decidido, você encontrará o que precisa em 'Preferências -> Conta -> Delete minha conta BGA'. Até logo, cowboy!

Por que alguns dos meus amigos desapareceram?

Uma mudança recente na forma como os amigos são gerenciados na Board Game Arena fez com que alguns velhos amigos tivessem que ser removidos. Ou seja, quaisquer amizades não mútuas agora não são mais permitidas.

A partir de agora, para fazer um novo amigo, você deve primeiro enviar um pedido de amizade a um usuário. Se esse usuário aceitar seu pedido de amizade, vocês se tornarão amigos. Isso permite que vocês vejam quando cada um está online, bem como informações relevantes sobre os feeds um do outro.

Quaisquer amizades não mútuas que existiam antes dessa mudança foram removidas e convertidas em "solicitações de amizade expiradas".

Você pode encontrar essas solicitações de amizade expiradas clicando em "Ver mais ..." na guia de amigos. Se você ainda quer ser amigo de algum desses jogadores, ainda pode enviar pedidos de amizade!

Premium

Como funcionam os jogos Premium?

Somente membros Premium podem criar novas mesas para jogos Premium.
Depois que a mesa é criada, qualquer pessoa pode participar (mesmo que não seja Premium).

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

Por que alguns jogos são Premium e outros não?

Cada editora decide se seus jogos no BGA deve ser Premium ou não.

Por favor tenha em mente que a grande maioria dos jogos na BGA é gratuito para todos :)

Quero jogar com alguém do mesmo lugar: devo comprar 2 associações Premium?

Não: você só precisa de uma associação Premium.
If a Premium member is playing at a table, all restrictions based on location are removed for all other participants at this table.

Por que "jogar do mesmo local" está disponível apenas para membros Premium?

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.

O que é o modo Hotseat e como funciona?

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

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

Como é cobrada uma associação Premium?

A associação premium é uma assinatura: é cobrada periodicamente.

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.

A associação anual é cobrada uma vez por ano. Como você está comprometido por um ano, há um desconto importante nessa associação.

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.

Como cancelo minha assinatura? Posso cancelar minha assinatura a qualquer momento?

Você pode cancelar a sua conta Premium a qualquer momento na aba "Contas" de suas "Preferências".

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

Como posso atualizar minhas informações de pagamento? Como posso atualizar o número do meu cartão de crédito?

A única maneira de fazer isso é assinando novamente usando suas novas informações de pagamento:

  • Ir para a página Premium: https://boardgamearena.com/premium
  • Cancele sua inscrição atual (a filiação restante não será perdida)
  • Escolha uma filiação mensal ou anual e entre seus novos dados de pagamento.

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

O que acontece se eu já for Premium e ganhar uma assinatura grátis?

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.

Jogos disponíveis

Quais são os jogos disponíveis?

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

Para a lista completa, por favor consulte a nossa página de 'Jogos'.

Como vocês escolhem os jogos que estarão disponíveis online?

Para publicar um jogo na BGA, precisamos de 2 coisas:
  • 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.
  • A adaptação do jogo está pronta, mas estamos aguardando uma hora específica ou um evento para lançá-la.

se você quiser sugerir um novo jogo para o BGA: A melhor maneira de nos ajudar a trazer este jogo para o BGA não é escrevendo para nós, mas sim escrevendo para a editora deste jogo e dizendo o quão legal é o BGA, para que eles nos autorizem a ter o jogo por aqui :)

Isso realmente ajuda, então, por favor, faça! Você pode enviar-lhes o link seguinte que explica tudo o que eles precisam saber:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepublishers

E as expansões dos jogos?

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.

Eu sou uma editora: por que e como devo obter meu jogo na 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.

A Arena (modo competitivo)

O que é o modo de jogo Arena?

O Modo Arena é o principal modo competitivo para todos os jogos no Board Game Arena.

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

Como funciona?

O modo Arena é baseado em temporadas.

Uma temporada dura 3 meses, então existem 4 temporadas da Arena a cada ano .

No final de uma temporada, o melhor jogador de cada jogo será o novo campeão mundial do BGA.

E se eu não me importo com jogo competitivo?

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

Quais são as regras do modo Arena?

No início: algumas regras do modo Arena podem mudar de uma temporada para outra.

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).

Quando você perde um jogo, você perde pontos na Arena. No entanto, você não pode ir abaixo de 0 pontos.

(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.

Obviamente, seu objetivo é alcançar a liga mais alta antes do final da temporada :)

Quantas ligas existem?

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).

O que é a 'Liga Elite'?

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.

O que acontece no final da temporada?

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

Quando uma nova temporada começa, todos são rebaixados para uma liga inferior (e o EAS é redefinido).

O que é o "Formato Arena"?

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

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

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

E os jogos baseados em turnos?

O modo Arena é tanto para jogos em tempo real como para jogos por turnos.

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).

O que aconteceu com os jogos em turnos da Arena no final da temporada?

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

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

Outros jogadores não ganharão ou perderão pontos na arena neste jogo.

O jogo pode continuar depois, mas não haverá mais consequências para os rankings da Arena.

O que é um Game Guru?

For each game on BGA, the most prolific players in the last 30 days are eligible to become the Game Gurus.
Os Gurus são selecionados diariamente e manterão seu status por pelo menos um mês.

Game Gurus have special powers, like being able to discuss and vote for the next seasons Arena format.
Eles também são os que avaliam os tutoriais Alpha.

Mais poderes especiais serão confiados aos Gurus de Jogos no futuro.

Como tornar-se um Game Guru?

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).

Outras condições podem ser aplicadas.

Problemas técnicos

O que eu posso fazer se eu tiver um problema com o website?

A maioria dos problemas com esse website devem ser resolvidos com um simples recarregamento da página (ou '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.

Por que este bug ainda não foi consertado?

Consertamos vários bugs, o tempo todo. Mas certamente precisamos estabelecer prioridades:
  • 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.

Estou tendo dificuldades de jogar em smartphones e tenho algumas dificuldades: o que eu posso fazer?

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!

Por que tenho uma conexão lenta ou problemas de performance na 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.

Diretrizes de traduções

O que pode ser traduzido?

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.

Quem deve traduzir?

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!

Qual o objectivo que eu devo ter quando faço traduções?

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.

Eu alterei algumas traduções, mas parece que elas não mudaram?

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

Por quanto tempo é possível trocar as traduções?

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.

Eu recebo alguma coisa ao traduzir?

Sim! Cada tradução validada dará ao tradutor 1 ponto de presente. To learn more about gift points, please check our 'Contribute to BGA' page.

Tutoriais de jogo

Existe tutorial para aprender as regras do jogo?

Sim! Alguns jogos possuem tutoriais.

Veja a lista de jogos com um tutorial

Como posso criar um tutorial para um jogo?

Qualquer pessoa pode propor um novo tutorial para um jogo.

Esta página explica como criar um tutorial

Qual é o status Alfa / Beta dos tutoriais?

Quando você propõe um novo tutorial para um jogo, ele terá o status de ALPHA.
Todos com o link do tutorial podem analisá-lo, dar feedback e avaliá-lo.

O desenvolvedor do jogo (ou administrador BGA) pode selecionar seu tutorial e movê-lo para BETA
A tutorial in BETA is proposed to English speaking players on the Game Page, so it can be tested on real conditions.

Se o tutorial tiver boas estatísticas, o desenvolvedor do jogo (ou administrador BGA) pode torná-lo OFICIAL.
O tutorial OFICIAL é exibido na página do jogo e está disponível para todos os jogadores.
Existe apenas um tutorial OFICIAL para um determinado jogo.
O tutorial OFICIAL está também disponível para tradução.

Como os tutoriais são avaliados?

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.

Como posso traduzir um tutorial?

Os tutoriais estão disponíveis para tradução aproximadamente 24 horas após atingirem o status OFICIAL.

Depois, eles podem ser traduzidos como qualquer outra parte do jogo.

Como os pontos de presente são concedidos a criadores de tutorial?

Quando seu tutorial se tornar OFICIAL você receberá 100 pontos de presente.
Afterwards, each month, you get 100 additional gift points as long as your tutorial remains the OFFICIAL one.
Cada jogo tem no máximo 600 pontos.

Onde posso ver as estatísticas de meus tutoriais?

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:
  • Repetir um jogo sem erros
  • Pedir ao visualizador do tutorial para jogar um movimento em vez de usar o botão "Continuar"
  • Definir um comentário do tutorial no local exato que você gostaria.

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.

As pessoas por trás da Board Game Arena

Quem são vocês?

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.

Para uma lista completa de colaboradores, por favor, verifique nossa página 'Equipe'.

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

Do que vocês vivem?

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.
