競技場-第零季[測試版]

從不到一個月前開始，您在 BGA 上可以使用一種全新的模式遊玩： 競技場 。

這種新的競爭模式取得了真正的成功：許多玩家在爭奪首個競技場賽季的獎杯，使得BGA上遊玩遊戲的次數增加了20％ 。 這項功能獲得如此成功，我們非常感激！

如果您想詳細了解什麼是競技場、它如何運作以及我們為什麼開發它，請閱讀以下常見問題解答：
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13890


競技場目前仍然是測試版

儘管它成功了，但是競技場還是不完美。 我們仍視其為測試版，您可能已經見過我們不時在更改／測試細節。

我們知道改動可能令人不快，但這麼做是為了找到運作競爭模式的最佳方法。

在過去的24小時內，我們嘗試了此處所述的競技場替代大廳，以減少等候時間，並增加與同一聯賽的對手見面的機會，以及嘗試使人氣較低的遊戲更受歡迎。 不幸的是，它沒有達到我們的期望，因此我們決定終止此實驗。

好消息是， 我們現在已經完成主要的更新 。 在第零季的餘下時間裡，競技場將保持目前的狀態，並進行較微小的更改。

我們知道這仍有改進的空間。 特別是，我們希望改善等待階段，以及「遊玩前確認」階段。 然而，很多人都喜歡競技場現在的樣子，所以我們沒有理由不讓你們玩！

第零季正式發布

考慮到以上所有因素，我們決定將第零季定為BGA排名的正式賽季。

這意味著，在本賽季結束時，競技場冠軍將是Board Game Arena上的首位官方競技場冠軍，並將成為首位把其名字列入每款獲勝者名單的人。

我們預計在2020年4月9日左右結束本賽季（此日期仍可能調整）。

結論

我們雄心不變：使競技場成為令人享受的常駐比賽，並讓您以此贏得最具聲望的BGA成就。

這不是一件容易的事，要實現目標或許得花費很多時間，但我們打算努力到完成為止。

祝大家在本賽季旗開得勝 ！

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:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13890


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!

NXS，Gorami，Mammalath：三款抽象類遊戲！

今年一月，我們很高興發佈三款新遊戲！ 繼兩個星期前公佈的三款卡牌遊戲之後，三款抽象類遊戲現可在Board Game Arena遊玩 ： NXS ，由Kevin Kane自己發行的遊戲、Gorami由Klaus-Peter Rudolph設計Bambus Spieleverlag發行，以及Mammalath ，一個由Grant Fikes開發並由nestorgames發行的遊戲。

因此，六款新遊戲在一月推出 ！

NXS是一款侵略遊戲。 控制您的艦隊，將您的戰艦送入敵國領土，在保衛自己的同時設法奪取其領地的統治權。 每個六角形棋子的各個側面都有不同的移動和捕獲特性 ，因此轉動棋子以準備下一步棋將會成為您策略的關鍵元素！ 第一個成功侵佔敵人領土數量的玩家會獲勝。 NXS由Kevin Kane （w3r3wolv3s是其在BGA的帳號 ）創建。 他先在自己的網站nxsgame.com上開發了一個線上版本，之後決定也為Board Game Arena開發一個版本。 非常感謝他，我們希望您會享受NXS！

Gorami是基於Gurami拼圖上的Gurami盒中發行的三款遊戲之一。 玩家將其顏色的標記（數值1至3）交替放置在三角形網格內 。 目的是控制最多的“條紋” （在3個可能的方向之一上從外部看時，一條直線上的相鄰三角形）。 如果令牌的總和大於對手的總和，則可以控制條紋。 放置代幣時，有一個額外的戰略元素：如果您包圍對手的棋子，它將變成您的顏色 。 非常感謝作者Klaus-Peter Rudolph 、發行商Bambus Spieleverlag和開發人員DrKarotte ，允許BGA社群遊玩這個精美的抽象型遊戲！

Mammalath會要求您嘗試在正方形網格上捕獲三個自由相鄰的空格。 但是在遊戲開始時，所有空格都被動物填滿。 因此，您在捕獲空格時必須策略性地釋放動物，但要小心！ 如果在任何時候您捕獲了三個相鄰的空格，而其中一個以上的空格仍然有動物，那您就輸了！ Mammalath是由 Grant Fikes（mathgrant為其BGA帳號）設計的遊戲，同時也是方塊大戰這個可在BGA遊玩，且已被遊玩超過10萬次遊戲的設計者！ 我們感謝發行商nestorgames和開發商apollo1001將他們的另一款遊戲帶到了BGA！

這裡的每一個遊戲都有其獨特的感覺和機制可享受。 我們鼓勵您抱著好奇探索這三個遊戲！

This January, we have the pleasure to release 3 more new games! Following on the 3 card games released 2 weeks ago, 3 abstracts are now available on Board Game Arena: NXS, a self published game from Kevin Kane, Gorami designed by Klaus-Peter Rudolph and published by Bambus Spieleverlag, and Mammalath, a game from Grant Fikes published by nestorgames.

So that's 6 new games for January!

NXS is an invasion game. Taking control of your armada, you'll send your ships into enemy territory and try to grab dominion over their space while defending your own. Each hexagonal piece has different move and capture characteristics for its different sides, so rotating pieces to prepare your next moves will be a key component of your strategy! The first player to manage to capture a predefined amount of the enemy territory wins. NXS has been created by Kevin Kane (w3r3wolv3s on BGA). He developed first an online version on his website nxsgame.com, then decided to also develop a version for Board Game Arena. A big thank you to him, we hope that you'll enjoy discovering NXS!

Gorami is one of three games published in the Gurami box based on Gurami puzzles. Players alternate placing tokens of their colour with value 1 to 3 inside a grid of triangles. The objective is to control the most "stripes" (adjacent triangles in a line when looking from the outside in one of the 3 possible directions). You control the stripe if the sum of the values of your tokens is greater than that of your opponent. When placing tokens, there is an additional strategic element: if you surround one of your opponent's pieces, it will turn to your color. Thanks a lot to the author Klaus-Peter Rudolph, to the publisher Bambus Spieleverlag and to the developer DrKarotte for allowing this elegant abstract to be played by the BGA community!

Mammalath will have you try to claim three free adjacent spaces on a square grid. But at the start of the game, all spaces are filled by animals. So you'll have to strategically free animals while capturing space, but be careful! If at any point you capture three adjacent spaces while there is still an animal on one or more of those spaces, you lose! Mammalath is a game from Grant Fikes (mathgrant on BGA), who is also the author of Battle of LITS which is also available on BGA and has been played more than 100 000 times! Our thanks to him, to the publisher nestorgames and to the developer apollo1001 for bringing one more of their games online here on BGA!

Each of these games has its own unique feel and mechanics to enjoy. We encourage you to be curious and discover all three!

Skat、Saint Poker和Palace：三款紙牌遊戲！

在快樂的新年開始之初，我們很高興為您提供新的紙牌遊戲，但不同以往只有一兩個，這次是三個全新的遊戲。 Skat 是一款在德國非常受歡迎的經典遊戲，而 Saint Beck 是由 BGA 社區的玩家發明的遊戲，至於 Palace，則是另一款備受歡迎的經典遊戲。現在，這三款遊戲都在 Board Game Arena 上線了！

Skat是一個三人的策略遊戲，與法國塔羅牌有些相似。 在出價階段之後，出價最高的玩家選擇所玩遊戲的類型，然後必須與其他兩名玩家達成協議才能獲勝。

Saint Poker受到德州撲克的啟發（除了出價部分）。 在進行了多輪回合中，牌會從河中移入和移出，並且您在他人回合中也可以試圖影響遊戲，這使得這個遊戲更加具有戰略性，因為您可以從前一回合獲得的知識影響以後的回合。 該遊戲是由BGA社區的玩家Ricardorix最近設計的，因此在此之前您絕對沒聽過！ 請趕緊嘗試一下並且為他提供寶貴的反饋意見

宮殿是一個流行的經典作品，以其許多名稱而聞名，並且具有多種變體規則。 您的目標是搶在其他玩家之前脫手所有的牌 。 您將盡可能地隨著其他玩家在中央籌碼堆放置紙牌，但是如果您不能跟上，則必須從中央堆取回所有紙牌。 當然，您要盡可能避免這種情況...

對於Skat，我們要感謝DrKarotte ，對Saint Poker和Palace還要感謝RicardoRix 。 非常感謝他們倆人使用BGA Studio來為社區開發遊戲！

祝大家新年快樂 ，我們希望您有很多有趣的遊戲！

For the beginning of this Happy New Year, we are delighted to gift you with not one, not two, but three new card games. Skat, a classic very popular in Germany, Saint Poker, a game created by a member of the BGA community and Palace, another popular classic, are now available on Board Game Arena!

Skat is a 3 players trick-taking game played in teams which has some similarities with French Tarot. After a bidding phase, the player who made the highest bid chooses the type of game played, then has to fulfill his contract against the two other players to win.

Saint Poker is inspired from the Texas hold 'em poker card game (without bidding). It plays over several rounds with cards being moved to and from the River and your hand over the rounds which makes the game more strategic as you can try to influence the later rounds from the knowledge gained from previous rounds. This game has been designed and implemented recently by a player of the BGA community, Ricardorix so you have certainly never heard of it before! Please give it a try and give him feedback

Palace is a popular classic known under many names and having numerous variations. The goal is to get rid of your cards before the other players. You'll follow the other players laying down cards in a central pile as long as possible, but if you can't play, then you have to take back in hand all the cards from the central pile. Of course, you want to avoid that as much as possible...

For Skat, our thanks go to DrKarotte, and for Saint Poker and Palace, to RicardoRix. Thanks a lot to both of them for their work developing games for the community using BGA Studio!

Happy New Year everyone, we wish you a lot of fun and games!

地牢旋風是一款適合2位玩家的策略遊戲。 由您帶領一個在地牢中以8名冒險者組成的團隊，試圖在被另一支團隊殺死前逃離這個迷宮。

地牢旋風是一場競賽：每當您的一個角色成功逃離棋盤，您就贏得1分；而每一次您殺死對手的角色，也贏得1分。 第一個獲得5分的玩家將贏得比賽。

您的每個角色都有自己的優點，弱點和特殊能力，您必須明智地使用它們才能達到目標。 此外，迷宮充滿了各種有趣的機制，讓您可以旋轉房間並完全改變情勢。

觀看 Board to death 介紹地牢旋風的影片 。

BGA想特別向開發這些新功能的 Yannick Tchobello 以及使這款獨特遊戲的一切能夠發生的 Christophe Boelinger 致上感謝：謝謝你們。

開始玩吧！

For 3 years now, Premium players have been able to enjoy Dungeon Twister on Board Game Arena, the extraordinary strategy game from Christophe Boelinger.

To celebrate Christmas, the game designer and BGA would like to offer you very nice gifts:
_ the base game is now free for everyone, starting today.
_ Premium players can now enjoy new rooms (those from the "3-4 players" expansion).

For those of you who don't know "DT", this is a very good occasion to discover this board game masterpiece, that has become a cult game.

See the game page on BGA

Dungeon Twister is a strategy game for 2 players. You lead a team of 8 adventurers in a dungeon, trying to escape from this maze before getting killed by the other team.

Dungeon Twister is a race : you win 1 point each time one of your characters manages to escape the board, and 1 point each time you manage to kill an opponent's character. The first player to score 5 points wins the game.

Each of your characters has its own strengths, weaknesses and special abilities, and you have to use them wisely to reach your goal. In addition, the maze is full of tricky mechanisms that allow you to rotate the rooms and change completely the situation.

Playing Dungeon Twister is like playing a modern version of Chess, with a medieval role-playing universe and endless possibilities. Are you ready to enter the Dungeon?

Watch a DT introduction video by Board to death.

BGA would like to address a very special "thank you" to Yannick Tchobello who developed the new additions, and to Christophe Boelinger for making it possible to build this amazing story together around this very special game.

Let's play!

國王行會

今天，我們非常榮幸地在線上帶來一款璀璨寶石的粉絲們可能會喜歡的新遊戲！ 國王行會，一款資源限量供應及成套收集類型的遊戲，由 Matthew Austin 設計並由 Mirror Box Games出版，這款遊戲現在已經登陸桌遊競技場了。

點我遊玩！

在國王的行會中 ，您將領導一個強大的格雷卡斯爾行會，爭奪最大的影響力 ，以便使其領導者（希望是您）處於統治地位，以接替垂死的國王！

那行會怎麽運作呢？ 首先，您需要在倉庫中存放自然資源 。 接著您需要賺取聲望與金錢。 兩者都可以藉由製作特殊物品幫助冒險家完成任務來獲得！ 作為這項服務的回報，您將獲得金錢和在冒險中賺取的寶藏中的一部分，可以用來進一步擴大公會的力量。 當您有足夠的金錢時，您將能夠投資它來建造一些新的房間以擴建您的行會館，並僱用特殊角色來獲得新的技能。

但是資源供應有限 ，其他行會也將收集它們！ 您需要為自己的未來需求進行計劃，並若在可能的情況下，請保留一些稀有資源， 以阻止您的對手在他們需要的時刻得到它們。 與人無尤，能坐上寶座的人仍然懸而未決！

遊戲結束時，相當一部分的分數由大師房間根據不同的物品提供。 當您已經知道自己的策略將為您從中獲得很多積分時，您需要在正確的時機購買它們，且要在對手從您的眼皮子底下搶走它們之前！

國王的公會是一款節奏明快的遊戲，其簡單規則可提供深奧多樣的遊戲體驗，這要歸功於來自玩家之間的多種角力以及許多可能的組合來為您的公會升級。 幸運的是，單人模式可以用來暸解遊戲並在挑戰其他玩家之前熟悉它的許多可能性... 或在輸給其它玩家後，為您的下一次對戰進行準備工作！

對於國王行會，我們要非常感謝發行商Mirror Box Games為我們提供了移植遊戲的可能性，並感謝開發者Adam Novotny （ A-dam ）在 BGA 工作室中花費大量技術和心血，精心的進行了這個移植！ 如果你喜歡這個遊戲，你可以直接從Mirror Box Games的網上商店購買：這裡 。

我們推薦以下來自骰子塔的影片來學習這款遊戲。 那麼，由你管理的公會將異軍突起 ，抑或是步向滅亡 ？

We have the great pleasure today to bring online a new game that fans of Splendor will probably like a lot! The King's Guild, a limited supply trading and set collection game designed by Matthew Austin and published by Mirror Box Games, is now available on Board Game Arena.

Play it now!

In the King's Guild, you'll take the lead of one of the powerful guilds of Greycastle, competing to gain the most influence in order to get its leader (hopefully you) in a dominant position to succeed the dying King!

So what does a Guild do? First, you need to stock natural resources in your warehouses. Then you need to earn fame and money. Both of these can be earned by crafting specialty items to help adventurers on their quests! In return for this service, you'll get money, and a share of the treasures earned on the quest, that you'll be able to use to further expand the power of your guild. When you have enough money, you'll be able to invest it to build some new rooms to expand your guildhouse, and to hire specialists to gain new abilities.

But resources are in limited supply, and other guilds will be collecting them too! You'll need to plan for your future needs, and if possible hold on to some rare resources to block your opponents from getting them in their moment of need. Nothing personal here, the throne is hanging in the balance!

A fair share of the end of game points can be scored through the Master Rooms which offer various scoring objectives. You'll need to buy them just at the right moment, when you know already that your strategy will allow you to get a lot of points from them, but before one of your opponent snatches the one you want right from under your nose!

The King's Guild is a fast paced game with simple rules offering a deep and varied gameplay thanks to multiple sources of tension between the players and a lot of possible combinations to upgrade your guild. Fortunately, a Solo mode is available to allow you to discover the game and get familiar with its many possibilities before challenging other players... Or after losing to them, in order to prepare for your next encounter!

For the King's Guild, we would like to give many thanks to the publisher Mirror Box Games for offering us the possibility to adapt the game, and to the developer Adam Novotny (A-dam) who lovingly crafted this adaptation on BGA studio, with a lot of skill and care! If you love the game, you can buy it directly from Mirror Box Games on their online store here.

To learn the game, we would like to recommend the following enthusiastic video review from the Dice Tower. So will you manage your Guild to prominence, or to extinction?

龍城對壘

今天我們很高興地介紹，這款在BGA裡從未出現過的新遊戲型態 。 由Hjalmar Hach，Luca Ricci和Lorenzo Silva設計並由Horrible Guild發行，受中國傳統遊戲「麻將」啟發的遊戲《 龍之城堡》現已在線發售！

立即遊玩吧！

在《 龍城對壘》中 ，您是封建領主，在自己的圖板上建造一座城堡 。 幸運的是，曾經舉世聞名的雄偉龍城現正瓦解中。 您將能夠從其減弱的能力中汲取資源來鞏固自己的資源，如果您在最佳時機照顧奉承的龍並援引烈酒來幫助您，也許您的城堡將是下一個超越所有其他城堡的人 ！

輪到您了 ，您將從龍城堡的頂層挑選一塊免費的磚塊 ，然後如果可能的話將其與另一塊磚塊配對 ，或者有時選擇神宮代替第二塊。 然後，您將使用這些磚塊來建造城堡。 每次創建一組 4個或多個相同類型的連接磁貼時，您都將其合併以得分，並放置一個或多個神Sh （取決於磁貼類型）以得分更高。 建議注意其他玩家需要哪種類型的磚塊、阻止他們得到那些磚塊：這是在競爭中保持領先的有效方法。

如果您符合條件， 龍將在遊戲結束時給您獎勵積分，因此您應該嘗試取悅它。 無論如何，惹怒一條龍總是一個壞主意！ 神明的力量也可以極大地促進您攀登高峰，但是只有付出代價才能召喚出來：您應該確保這是值得的。 每款遊戲都是新的挑戰，因為遊戲中龍城，龍牌和神明牌的形狀會有所不同，從而創造了許多可供探索的組合。

我們非常感謝 Horrible Guild授予我們在Board Game Arena上在線託管遊戲的授權，並感謝開發者hersh ，他使用BGA Studio製作了非常好的實現。

我們還應該說， 邱詠儀（Cinyee Chiu）創造的遊戲藝術確實獨特而美麗，將您帶入 了中國人夢colorful 以求的城堡，烈酒和龍的夢想 。

祝大家在夢裡翱翔時玩得愉快！

We are happy today to introduce a type of game we didn't have yet on Board Game Arena. Dragon Castle, a game inspired from the traditional Chinese Majhong game, designed by Hjalmar Hach, Luca Ricci and Lorenzo Silva, and published by Horrible Guild, is now available online!

Play it now!

In Dragon Castle, you are a feudal lord building a castle on your realm. Luckily for you, the mighty Dragon Castle, once the pride of the whole country, is now crumbling. You'll be able to draw resources from its waning power to consolidate your own, and if you take care of flattering Dragons and invoking Spirits at the best possible time to help you, maybe your castle will be the next to rise above all others!

On your turn, you'll pick a free tile from the top layer of the Dragon Castle, then choose to pair it with another if possible, or sometimes to take a Shrine instead of a second tile. Then, you'll use these tiles to build your castle. Each time you create a set of 4 connected tiles or more of the same type, you'll consolidate them to score points, and place one or more Shrines (depending on the tile type) to score even more points. Paying attention to what type of tiles other players need in order to prevent them from getting those is advised: it's a powerful way of staying ahead of the competition.

The Dragon will grant you bonus points at the end of the game if you match its conditions, so you should try to please it. Anyway, it's always a bad idea to displease a Dragon! The Spirit's power can also be a big boost on your way to the top, but can be summoned only with a cost: you should make sure it's worth it. Every game is a new challenge since the shape of the Dragon Castle, the Dragon card and the Spirit card in play will be different, creating a lot of combinations to explore.

We would like to give a huge thank you to Horrible Guild for granting us an authorization to host their game online on Board Game Arena, and to the developer hersh who crafted a really great implementation using BGA Studio.

We should also say that the art for the game, created by Cinyee Chiu, is really distinctive and beautiful, transporting you in a colourful Chinese dream of castles, spirits and dragons.

Enjoy the dream and the game!

暹羅角力棋

在犀牛與大象之間 ，誰才是最強的霸主呢 ？ 自從人類誕生以來，這個問題就引起了激烈的爭論 。 現在，您可以選擇站其中一方！ 由Ferti Games發行的Didier Dhorbait的遊戲暹羅角力棋現在已可在Board Game Arena 上遊玩。

立即遊玩吧！

在暹羅 ，犀牛和大象競相成為首位將石頭推出板塊 的動物。 大象或犀牛可以推動一塊石頭 ，但是您需要兩隻動物朝同一方向，才能推動兩塊對齊的石頭。 一隻動物亦能推動另一隻動物 ，除非另一隻動物朝相反的方向推進。 最後，如果相反的力量不能抵消他的力量，那麼一隻動物可以將多塊石頭和動物推向一條直線。 因此，您必須非常注意每隻動物的推動方向 ， 該方向由動物上方的箭頭指示。

輪到您，您可以執行以下操作之一：

• 將您的一隻動物放在板上（在一個邊界單元上）
• 從板上移除您的一隻動物（如果它在邊界單元之一上）
• 移動一隻動物，然後選擇其面對的方向
• 保持原位並改變一隻動物面對的方向，而不移動它
• 推動 ！ 在板上已經有一隻動物，或者在板外有一隻動物，在進入板上時都進行了推動。

這套簡單的規則創造了很多可能性 。 您會驚奇地發現一種情況似乎常常無可奈何，然而，正確地進行一次推動將改變一切 ！ 暹羅角力棋是一款巧妙而優雅的遊戲，主題有趣， 並且由Biboun提供了精美的插圖。 我們非常喜歡它，以及由Ferti Games創建的有趣的Sugoï系列的其他遊戲：



我們要感謝Ferti Games授權在Board Game Arena上製作Siam改編版，並感謝設計師Didier Dhorbait幫助我們進行遊戲測試！

那麼，在犀牛與大象之間， 您認為誰才是最強的呢？

From the rhinoceros and the elephant, which one is the strongest? This question has been hotly debated since the dawn of mankind. Now, you get to pick a side! Siam, a game from Didier Dhorbait published by Ferti Games, is now available on Board Game Arena.

Play it now!

In Siam, rhinoceros and elephants are competing to be the first to push a rock out of the board. An elephant or a rhinoceros can push a rock, but you need two animals pushing in the same direction to push two aligned rocks. An animal can push another animal too, except if the other animal is pushing in the opposite direction. And finally, an animal can push a whole line with multiple rocks and animals, if opposite forces don't cancel his effort. So you will have to be very mindful of the direction in which every animal is pushing, which is indicated by an arrow above the animal.

On your turn, you can do one of the following actions:

• place one of your animals on the board (on one of the border cells)
• remove one of your animals from the board (if it is on one of the border cells)
• move one of your animals, then choose the direction it is facing
• stay in place and change the direction one of your animals is facing without moving it
• or push! Either with an animal already on the board, or with an animal outside of the board, pushing while entering the board.

This simple set of rules creates a lot of possibilities. You'll be really surprised to see how often a situation seems hopeless, and still, one push done the right way will change everything! Siam is a clever and elegant game, with a fun theme, and beautiful illustrations by Biboun. We like it a lot, as well as the other games from the colourful Sugoï series created by Ferti Games:



We would like to thank Ferti Games for their authorization to create an adaptation of Siam on Board Game Arena, and the designer Didier Dhorbait for helping us playtest the game!

So, from the rhinoceros and the elephant, who do you think is the strongest?

生命循環 & 托克棋

今天，我們很高興為您獻上不只一款，而是兩款抽象遊戲，兩者都包含到六角形要素 ！ Nick Bentley 的遊戲 Circle of Life (生命循環）和來自公有領域的經典遊戲 Tock (托克棋) 現在已可在Board Game Arena 上遊玩。

立即遊玩 Circle of Life！

那些玩過Blooms(一款像圍棋一樣簡約而深奧的抽象遊戲)的人會立即認出其禪宗美學和玩味由 Nick Bentley 設計簡而精的遊戲規則 。

在 Circle of Life 中 ，你必須在版圖上放置屬於你顏色的棋子。 然後，如果那枚棋子使一個物種圖樣與對手的物種接觸，且在食物鏈 （在圖版周圍環繞顯示）中比對方高一級，對手的物種會立即被吞噬 ！ 當以下兩種情況之一發生時你獲勝：你吃了對手 20枚棋子；或者如果你不能再下任何棋子（這意味著你成功用自己的物種填滿了整個生態系統）。 真的很簡單，對吧？ 但有很多選擇和可能性！

非常感謝遊戲設計師Nick Bentley （ El Poopo ）和軟體開發人員Adam Novotny （ A-dam ）將這款全新遊戲帶入BGA社群！

立即遊玩 Tock！

Tock是一款經典遊戲，據信起源於加拿大魁北克的早期移民。 它跟Ludo相似，但但不用骰子 ！ 你將獲得卡片 ，並通過選擇並消耗卡片在版圖上移動標記物。

這使得遊戲的運氣大大降低，更具挑戰性和趣味性。 除了用於前進之外，不同的牌還具有獨特的特殊功能 ，並且你必須將發給你的每手牌做最大化的利用，才能成為第一個將所有標記物繞完棋盤一圈並贏得比賽的人 。

並且作為額外的挑戰，你甚至可以團隊遊玩 ！

對於這個遊戲，我們要感謝軟體開發人員Jean Portemer （ 伍德拉夫 ），他在完成曠世發明和法國塔羅牌之後對 Tock 產生了興趣，並使用 BGA studio 製作了其移植版本，使每個人都可以在線上享受它的樂趣！

We are happy today to present you with not just one, but two abstract games involving hexagonal pieces! Circle of Life, a game from Nick Bentley, and Tock, a classic from the public domain, are now available online on Board Game Arena.

Play Circle of Life now!

Those of you who played Blooms, a sleek and deep abstract reminiscent of Go, will immediately recognise the Zen aesthetics and taste for a minimalistic but efficient rule set from Nick Bentley.

In Circle of Life, on your turn you have to set one stone of your colour on the board. Then if that stone creates a species pattern that is in contact with one of your opponent species following it immediately in the food chain (which is displayed as a circle around the board), the other species is immediately devoured! You win either by eating 20 of your opponent's stones, or if you can't play any more (which means that you managed to fill up the whole ecosystem with your species). Really simple, yes? But so many choices and possibilities!

A big thank you to the game designer Nick Bentley (El Poopo), and to the software developer Adam Novotny (A-dam) for bringing this brand new game to the BGA community!

Play Tock now!

Tock is a classic game that is believed to have originated with the early settlers of Quebec, Canada. It is similar to Ludo, but no dice here! You'll get cards, and move your tokens around the board by choosing which card to spend.

This makes the game much less luck based and much more challenging and interesting. The different cards allow for distinct special functions beyond just moving forward, and you'll have to make the best out of each new hand you are dealt in order to be the first to circle the board with all your tokens and win the race.

And for some extra challenge, you can even play in teams!

For this game, our thanks go to the software developer Jean Portemer (Woodruff) who after Innovation and French Tarot, got interested in Tock and created an adaptation using BGA studio to allow everyone to enjoy it online!

地產達人

這個九月，我們很榮幸帶來一款快速又緊張刺激的市場遊戲：地產達人，一款由 Stefan Dorra 設計並發行於 Eagle-Gryphon Games 的遊戲，現在已經上線桌遊競技場啦（Board Game Arena）！

即刻遊玩！

在地產達人中，你將會扮演一個房地產中介買賣物業。 為了贏得勝利，你必須在遊戲結束時成為最富有的投資者 。 當然，想要發大財，訣竅就是低買高賣 。 但你猜怎樣？ 每個人都知道這件事，所以你必須真的很厲害才行！

你的起始資金有限，第一階段是競標遊戲 。 謹慎地出價，以免花一大筆錢買了個狗窩，但也不要太小氣，否則可能錯失良機！

一旦市場的房屋全數售出，第二階段將開始為你的物業物色報價最高的買家。 你將考量報價，並提交你的其中一項房產。 如果你提交了所有房地產經紀人中的最佳房產，則你將得到金額最大的支票 ！

地產達人在 BGA 上為一款尊榮遊戲：一名尊榮會員可以創建新桌，然後如同以往一樣每個人都能加入。 謝謝大家對我們的支持！

我們想要感謝 Eagle-Gryphon Games 授權地產達人移植到桌遊競技場上（Board Game Arena）、以及感謝開發者 hersh 為這款遊戲設計了一個優質又簡潔的介面，讓它非常流暢又好玩！

那麼，你認為你對房地產有準確的直覺嗎？ 來試試看吧！

This September, we have the pleasure to bring online a quick and tense market game: For Sale, a game from Stefan Dorra published by Eagle-Gryphon Games is now available on Board Game Arena!

Play it now!

In For Sale, you'll play a real estate agent buying then selling property. To win, you have to be the richest investor at the end of the two phases of the game. Sure, to get rich the trick is to buy cheap and sell dear. But guess what? Everybody knows that, so you have to be really good at it!

You start with a limited amount of money, and the first phase is a bidding game. Place your bids carefully in order not to buy a doghouse for a fortune, but don't be a miser either, or you might miss out on big opportunities!

Once the market has been drained from all valuable properties, the second phase will be matching your properties to the best offers of purchasers ready to sign a big check. You'll consider the offers, and propose one of your properties. If you propose the best property of all realtors in play, you'll get the best check for your coffers!

For Sale is available on BGA as a Premium game: a Premium member is required to create a new table, then as usual everyone can join. Thank you all for supporting us!

We would like to thank Eagle-Gryphon Games for licensing this adaptation of For Sale on Board Game Arena, and to the developer hersh who implemented the game with a nice and elegant interface that makes it really quick and fun to play!

So, do you think you have the right gut feeling for real estate? Try your skill!
