*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):

12月之杰作:让我们一起美好地结束今年。
对于全世界的每个人来说,
过去的是艰难的一年。
现在它仍然如此。
在这个陌生的时期,我们欢迎来自全球的越来越多的玩家,越来越多的开发商,越来越多的发行商,以及总体而言,越来越多的游戏。
我们要向所有高级用户致以最诚挚的感谢:您不仅在支持基础架构,而且还在帮助世界各地的发行商和游戏设计师。
此外,我们还收到许多电子邮件,告诉我们关于Board Game Arena如何帮助许多人在隔离状态下保持理智。
与朋友,家人,亲戚一起玩...
我们一直在考虑所有这些消息。
我们感谢所有在这里为我们提供帮助的人们。
这也是一个不寻常的时刻,因为在BGA上拥有接近500万个玩家帐户并不容易管理。
但是我们的小团队每周7天,每天24小时随时为您服务,以使事情尽可能愉快。
我们正在改善、修补网站的每个部分。
它不是完美的,但是我们尝试改进它:明年可能会给BGA带来一些新的东西,并且许多改进正在进行中。
我们希望您明年能够见证并享受这一切。
但着眼现在,我们即将迎来今年的结束,因为明天我们将进入12月。
对于这艰难的一年,我们要感谢您在BGA上游玩并向我们提供支持。
每天都有更多的发布商加入BGA,还有开发人员。
而且我们无法保持通常的星期三发布时间表。
不是说我们缺少游戏,而是相反:我们有很多游戏,我们需要发布更多游戏!
这就是我们提出一个简单的想法的原因:就像圣诞日历一样,让我们推出
“ OPUS MAGNUM日历”。
Opus Magus是杰作的拉丁文,
也有“做得很好”的含义。
在开发人员的帮助下,我们将团队发挥到了极限,为您带来特别的一整个月的新游戏。
怎么样 ?
从今天开始,您可能已经在我们首页的标题栏下面看到了一个新栏:
2020年12月的日历。
在12月的每一天,您都可以单击每日礼物,查看我们当天发布的游戏。
没错。
这31天内,每天有 ,一个新游戏发布。
也就是说,12月将有31个游戏。
从经典到新品,从小品到名作,每当月亮升起之时(巴黎时间),您将发现一个新游戏。
您可以单击日历来查看新游戏,也可以在本文中找到游戏列表。
但是我们在日历上增加了一个小功能:如果您每天都来点击日常礼物,您将获得奖杯作为奖励,这取决于您连续能够点击多少天。
这能让我们了解所哪些内容被查阅、点击,以判断以后是否可以在首页上使用这种方式提供更多内容。
因此,目前,这是发布的游戏(列表每天都会更新):
12月1日发行:
Thurn&Taxis , 2006年,《驿马当先》 ,由
Andreas Seyfarth和Karen Seyfarth并由Volker78和tutchek为BGA开发
12月2日发行:
欢迎来到AND VEGAS ,由设计
Alexis Allard和BenoîtTupin由Tisaac和JustinFernal为BGA开发
