*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):

Opus Magnumi detsember: Lõpetame selle aasta ilusti koos.
See on olnud karm aasta.
Kõigile, kogu maailmas.
Ja ikka on.
Sel kummalisel ajal tervitasime üha rohkem mängijaid kogu maailmast, rohkem arendajaid, rohkem väljaandjaid ja üldiselt rohkem mänge.
Soovime südamest tänada kõiki meie Premium kasutajaid: te ei aita mitte ainult infrastruktuuri toetada, vaid ka kirjastajaid ja mängudisainereid kõikjalt maailmast.
Samuti saime palju e-kirju, milles räägiti meile, kuidas Board Game Arena aitas paljudel inimestel lukus olles mõistuse juures püsida.
Sõprade, pere, sugulastega mängimiseks ...
Me mõtleme pidevalt kõigi nende sõnumite peale.
Ja oleme tänulikud kõigile inimestele, kes meid siin aitavad.
See on ka uudishimulik aeg, kuna BGA-s 5M-i lähedal olevate mängijakontode haldamine pole midagi hõlpsat.
Kuid meie väike meeskond on kohal 24 tundi ööpäevas, 7 päeva nädalas, et hoida asjad võimalikult nauditavana.
Me täiustame, nokitseme, veeretame kõiki veebisaidi osi.
See pole täiuslik, kuid püüame seda parandada: järgmine aasta võib tuua BGA-sse uusi asju ja palju parendusi on pooleli.
Loodame, et saate järgmisel aastal kõike seda tunnistada ja sellest rõõmu tunda.
Kuid praeguseks oleme selle lõpu lähedal, sest homme oleme detsembris.
Kuna aasta oli raske, tahtsime teid tänada BGA-s mängimise ja meie toetamise eest.
BGA-ga liitub iga päev rohkem kirjastajaid ja ka arendajaid.
Ja me ei saa lihtsalt kinni pidada tavapärasest kolmapäevase vabastamise ajakavast.
Mitte et meil puuduks mängud, vaid tegelikult on vastupidi: meil on palju ja peame neid rohkem välja andma!
Seetõttu tulime välja lihtsa ideega: teeme sellest nagu advendikalendri
"OPUS MAGNUM KALENDER".
Opus Magnum on meistriteos ladina keeles.
Saab kasutada ka kui "Head tööd teinud".
Lükkasime oma meeskonna oma arendajate abiga piirini, et tuua teile spetsiaalne kuu TÄIS uusi mänge.
Kuidas?
Alates tänasest võisite meie kodulehe pealkirjaplokkide all näha uut plokki:
2020. aasta detsembri kalender.
Igal detsembri päeval saate klõpsata iga päev kingitusel, mis näitab teile meie päeva vabastamist.
Jah.
Üks uus mäng Release iga päev. 31 päeva jooksul.
See on detsembris 31 mängu.
Klassikast uudsuste, indie ja kuulsate tiitliteni on teil uus mäng, mida avastada iga kord, kui kuu tõuseb (Pariisi aja järgi).
Uute mängude nägemiseks saate klõpsata kalendril ja leida ka selles postituses loetletud väljaanded.
Kuid lisasime kalendrisse väikese funktsiooni: kui tulete iga päev igapäevasele kingitusele klikkima, saate preemiaks Trophy, sõltuvalt sellest, mitu päeva järjest suutsite teha.
See on viis, kuidas saame teada, mida on nähtud, mida on klõpsatud, ja võimalus teada saada, kas sellist ideed saab esilehel kasutada hiljem rohkemate asjade pakkumiseks.
Nüüd on siin välja antud mängud (loendit uuendatakse iga päev):
- detsembri väljaanne:
Thurn & Taxis, 2006 Spiel des Jahres, kujundanud
Andreas Seyfarth ja Karen Seyfarth ning BGA jaoks välja töötanud Volker78 ja tutchek
- detsembri väljaanne:
Tere tulemast VEGASesse, mille on kujundanud
Alexis Allard ja Benoît Tupin ning töötasid BGA jaoks välja Tisaac ja JustinFernal

Ärge unustage, et saate probleemidest või vigadest teatada meie veaaruande vormi kaudu veebisaidi allosas. Võtate ühendust otse arendajatega ja nii saavad nad probleemid kiiresti lahendada. Kuid ärge unustage enne mängureegleid läbi lugeda
Ootame väga teie tagasisidet selle erisündmuse kohta, see on viis tänada kõiki meie liikmeid, kes muudavad BGA-st maailma esikoha lauamängude mängimiseks.
Kui soovite lisaks aidata kirjastajaid ja mängudisainereid, ärge unustage, et tõelisi mänge saate osta ka paljudest oma piirkonna kauplustest üle kogu maailma. Kui teile meeldib, on see ka hea viis nende premeerimiseks.
Täname kõiki oma partnereid jõupingutuste eest selle aasta jooksul.
Parim on alles ees.
Ja järgmisel aastal loodame jätkata teile parima pakkumist.
Hoolitse ja ... mängi ausalt!
Ian, Greg, Emmanuel ja Jurica.
BGA meeskond.
