Board Game Arena (BGA) is a platform allowing to play online to a selection of board games and card games, directly from one's web browser, in simultaneous or "turn-based" mode.
The platform is partly collaborative: the translations of the games are done voluntarily by the community, and the games are developed via the online platform Board Game Studio, accessible to all.
History
In 2016, the entrepreneurial duo was joined by Ian Parovel, who then took over the UX and graphic design of the site. [1],[2]"BoardGameArena - AD2G Studio (company information)". AFJV. Retrieved 2021-01-25.</ref>
During the containment related to the Covid-19 Pandemic, nearly 30,000 people were online simultaneously every day. In a few weeks, more than 500,000 members joined the site, reaching 2.3 million members by the end of June 2020[3].
By December 2020, the site had 5 million members and nearly 300 games.
In February 2021, Asmodee acquired the platform and the founders announced that the not-yet-adapted games of the new owner would be added to the catalog soon[4]"- Board Game Arena". Board Game Arena. Retrieved 2021-02-12.</ref>.
