Starting from less than a month ago, you have had the possibility to enjoy on BGA a new playing mode: the Arena.
This new competitive mode has been a real success: a lot of you are competing to win the trophies for this first Arena Season, and it has increased the number of games played on BGA by +20%. We'd like to thank you a lot for making this feature such a success!
If you want to read more about what is the Arena, how it works, and why we developed it, please read the following FAQ:
For now, Arena remains a BETA
Despite this success, the Arena is still not perfect. We still consider it a BETA, and you may have seen that we are changing/testing things from time to time.
We know that these changes may be painful, but we to do it in order to find the best way to make this competitive mode work.
During the last 24 hours, we have experimented an alternative lobby for the Arena, described here, in order to decrease the waiting time, to increase the chances to meet opponents from the same leagues, and to try to make the less popular games more popular. Unfortunately, it didn't met our expectations, so we decided to put an end to this experiment.
The good news is that we're done now with the major updates. The Arena is going to remain in its current shape, with minor changes, for the rest of Season 0.
We know that there is still room for improvements. In particular, we'd like to improve the waiting phase, and the "confirmation before playing" phase. However, a lot of you are enjoying the Arena like it is now so there is no reason not to let you play! 🙂
Season Zero is now official
Considering all of this, we decided to make Season Zero an official season for BGA rankings.
It means that at the end of the Season, Arena champions will be the first official Arena champions on Board Game Arena, and will be the first to put their names on the winners list for each game.
The end of the Season is planned around April 9th 2020 (this date may still be adjusted).
In conclusion
Our ambition stays the same: make the Arena an enjoyable permanent competition, and allow you to win the most prestigious BGA achievements with it.
This is not an easy task, and it may take a lot of back and forth to reach this objective, but we intend to work on it until we reach that point.
We wish good luck to you all for this Season!
竞技场-第零季[测试版]
从不到一个月前起,您就可以在BGA上享受一种新的比赛模式: 竞技场 。
这种新的竞争模式取得了真正的成功:很多人都在争夺第一个竞技场赛季的奖杯,并且BGA上的比赛数量增加了20% 。
非常感谢您使此功能取得了成功!

<span style="font-size:150%; line-height:116% “>目前,Arena仍然是测试版
尽管取得了成功,但竞技场仍然不是完美的。
我们仍然将其视为测试版,您可能已经看到我们不时在更改/测试它。
我们知道这些更改可能会很痛苦,但是为了找到使这种竞争模式起作用的最佳方法,我们必须这样做。
在过去的24小时内,我们为竞技场尝试了一个替代大厅,如下所述 ,以减少等待时间,增加与同一个联赛的对手会面的机会,并尝试使不那么受欢迎的游戏更受欢迎。
不幸的是,它没有达到我们的期望,因此我们决定终止该实验。
好消息是, 我们现在已完成主要更新 。
在第0季的剩余时间里,竞技场将保持目前的状态,并有一些小的改动。
我们知道,仍有改进的空间。
特别是,我们希望改善等待阶段和“播放前确认”阶段。
但是,很多人都喜欢现在的竞技场,所以没有理由不让你玩!
<span style="font-size:150%; line-height:116% “>“零季”现已正式发布
考虑到所有这些因素,我们决定将第0季定为BGA排名的正式赛季。
这意味着,在本赛季结束时,竞技场冠军将是Board Game Arena上的首位正式竞技场冠军,并将是每场比赛中将其名字列入获胜者名单的第一位。
计划在2020年4月9日左右结束本季(此日期可能仍会调整)。
<span style="font-size:150%; line-height:116% “>总结
我们的雄心保持不变:使Arena成为令人愉悦的永久性比赛,并让您以此赢得最负盛名的BGA成就。
这不是一件容易的事,要实现这一目标可能要花费很多时间,但是我们打算一直努力直到达到这一点。
祝大家在这个季节里一切顺利 !
