Let’s leap from cats to frogs for a minute during the 2026 Summer of Games.
In Pondscape, your goal is to create natural habitats for various frog species. Space is limited so you need to be careful. Choose the right combinations of frog species, food, and habitats, and come up with the richest ecosystem.
Each round, you choose cards from a shared display and add one card to your pond, aiming to fulfill specific conditions set by different frog species to earn points, with larger groups of the same frog type yielding even greater rewards. The core mechanism is a mix of grid building and card management, with pond construction.
A unique shared mechanism revolves around the "Jumper Frog", better known as Croaker, a central figure that hunts insects and other food. You and the other players influence Croaker’s actions and compete to gather insects that can provide bonus points during the final scoring. Careful planning and resourceful play will lead to the most balanced and flourishing pond!
Once everyone has placed their 15th card, the game ends and we will take care of the scoring.
In the solo mode, yes there is one, and it is something most of you like, you play against Croaker. The latter doesn’t build a pond but takes cards from the pile so you can’t use them.
Build the right frog groups, create the habitats they need, collect lots of useful food symbols, and use the Jumper Frog to turn that food into points.

A big croak of thanks to Tomáš Holek, the game designer, as well as the jumping frogs from Capstone Games, the publisher, for letting their pond join ours. And we’re hopping with joy with MGoulet’s port for BGA! Thank you.
This was your Friday release.
Ribbit-ribbit! Ribbit-ribbit! Or in simpler words: take care and play fair…
Pondscape - 蛙入歧途
讓我們在2026年夏日遊戲節期間，暫時從貓跳到青蛙。
在Pondscape中，你的目標是為各種青蛙物種打造自然棲地。由於空間有限，你必須格外謹慎。選擇正確的青蛙物種、食物與棲地組合，建立出最繁榮豐富的生態系統。
每輪遊戲，玩家從共享展示區選擇卡牌，並將一張卡牌添加到自己的池塘中。玩家需要滿足不同蛙類設定的特定條件來獲得分數，相同蛙類的數量越多，獎勵越豐厚。遊戲的核心機制是網格構建和卡牌管理的結合，並包含池塘建設元素。
遊戲的核心機制圍繞著跳蛙展開，它更廣為人知的名字是「呱呱蛙」（Croaker），是捕食昆蟲和其他食物的關鍵角色。你和其他玩家會影響呱呱蛙的行動，並競相收集昆蟲，這些昆蟲能在最終計分時提供額外加分。精心策劃和巧妙運用資源，才能打造出最平衡、最繁榮的池塘！
當所有人都出完第 15 張牌後，遊戲結束，我們將負責計分。
在單人模式中——沒錯，這款遊戲有單人模式，而且是大家最喜歡的那種——你將挑戰對手呱呱蛙。後者不會建立自己的池塘，而是直接從牌堆中抽走卡牌，讓你無法使用它們。
建立合適的青蛙群體，創造它們需要的棲息地，收集大量有用的食物符號，並使用跳蛙將這些食物轉化為分數。
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=pondscape
在此向遊戲設計師 Tomáš Holek 以及發行商 Capstone Games 的各位跳躍青蛙們致以最誠摯的謝意，感謝他們讓自家池塘融入我們的行列。同時，我們也為 MGoulet 在BGA上的移植版本而欣喜若狂！謝謝。
以上就是本週五發布的消息。
呱呱！呱呱！或者更簡單地說：請謹慎並公平競爭…
A spectacular duel unfolds deep beneath the earth. You take turns sending out mighty dragons to conquer territories. But place them wisely! If your beasts grow too powerful, they'll turn on each other, and you could lose everything.
Dragon Overload is a card game for two, part of our 2026 Summer of Games.
You compete to send your dragons into five landscapes and gain majority there. Each zone is associated with a specific family of dragons and can hold only a limited number of cards.
How does it work? On your turn, you select one of your cards and place it in one of the available slot on your side of the board. Your opponent gets the card from the pile of the chosen area, and he then plays one of his cards. And so on…
The game is based on a territory-control mechanism, but accumulating power isn't necessarily the best strategy. If the strength of your dragons reaches at least twice that of your opponent’s in a zone, your creatures become uncontrollable and you automatically lose that territory. This rule turns your duels into an exercise in balance and anticipation.
Dragon Overload incorporates an element of bluffing thanks to the possibility to play up to three cards face down. Incomplete information forces your opponent to interpret your intentions while protecting their own plans.
The game ends when one player controls all five territories, when an opponent can no longer perform a valid action, or when all zones are filled. The player with the most territory at that point wins.
Are you ready to conquer the world on the back of a dragon?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=dragonoverload
Let’s take a minute to thank Jay Bendixen, the game designer, and Lookout Games, the publisher, for allowing us to add their game to the platform. And let’s thank firgon for the BGA port.

Dragon Overload - 親愛的，我們讓龍超載了
一場驚天動地的決鬥在地底深處展開。你們輪流出強大的龍去征服領土。但務必謹慎部署！如果你的龍太強大，它們會自相殘殺，而你可能會失去一切。
Dragon Overload是一款雙人卡牌遊戲，是我們2026年夏日遊戲節系列的一部分。
你們將派出自己的龍前往五個不同的區域，爭奪每個區域的多數席位。每個區域都與一個特定的巨龍家族相關聯，並且只能容納有限數量的卡牌。
遊戲規則是什麼？輪到你時，你選擇一張牌，並將其放置在你方棋盤上的一個空位。你的對手從所選區域的牌堆中抽取這張牌，然後打出一張自己的牌。如此往復…
遊戲基於領地控制機制，但累積實力並非總是最佳策略。如果你的龍在某個區域的實力達到對手的兩倍以上，你的龍就會失控，你也會自動失去該領地。這條規則讓決鬥變成了一場平衡與預判的較量。
得益於玩家最多能背面打出三張卡牌的機制，Dragon Overload融合了心理戰與虛張聲勢的元素。資訊不對稱將迫使你的對手在保護自身策略的同時，還得試圖解讀你的意圖。
當一名玩家控制全部五個區域、對手無法再執行任何有效行動，或所有區域都被佔據時，遊戲結束。此時擁有最多區域的玩家獲勝。
你準備好騎著龍征服世界了嗎？
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=dragonoverload
讓我們花點時間感謝遊戲設計師 Jay Bendixen 和發行商 Lookout Games，感謝他們允許我們將這款遊戲添加到我們的平台。同時，也感謝 firgon 提供的 BGA 移植版本。

「擺脫巨龍的唯一方法，就是擁有屬於你自己的巨龍。」請謹慎並公平競爭...
In the Wild West, you and rival gangs competes fiercely over gold. For that, you play Texas Bingo, a poker-meets-Bingo game.
On each turn, the top card of the deck is revealed. Every player finds the matching tile and places it into any empty space on their Bingo board. Once a tile has been placed, it cannot be moved. This is all done very discreetly, as you don’t want your rivals to know which tile you’ve already used. If an Event Card is revealed, its effect happens immediately.
After everyone has placed their tile, the next card is revealed and the process continues. Once all spaces on every board are filled, players reveal their board and BGA settles the score. Hold on… nope, BGA calculates your score, don’t worry, no one is settling any score… No cowboy business here…
The game lasts 25 turns, and the goal is to build the strongest possible Texas Hold’em-style poker hands across the Bingo board. Each board contains 12 lines: five horizontal lines, five vertical lines, and two diagonal lines. The player with the strongest poker hand on that line scores one point.
There you have it, a bingo following Texas Hold’em rules. Add a layer of missions giving you an additional objective during the gameto spice things up and you have Texas Bingo.
The basic idea is therefore very simple: place revealed card on your board, arrange them to produce strong poker hands. Add your Mission Card bonus, and the highest score wins.
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=texasbingo
Our thanks go to Minjae Kim & Yeonwoo, the game designers, as well as the good folks at Ludibox for allowing us to add their game to the platform. And a tip of the hat, a cowboy hat that is, to Kkevy for the BGA port.

No cheating in this game so leave the cowboy justice to the movies. Take care and play fair…
Texas Bingo：賓果三卡片
在狂野西部，你和其他幫派為了爭奪黃金而展開激烈的競爭。為此，你們玩起了Texas Bingo，一種融合了撲克和賓果遊戲元素的競技遊戲。
每回合開始時，牌堆頂部的牌會被翻開。每位玩家找到對應的牌，並將其放置在自己賓果遊戲板上的任意空位上。牌一旦放置，便無法移動。整個過程都需要謹慎進行，以免對手知道你已經使用了哪張牌。如果翻開的是事件牌，其效果會立即生效。
所有玩家放置好自己的板塊後，翻開下一張牌，遊戲繼續進行。當所有板塊上的空格都被填滿後，玩家們展示自己的板塊，BGA 結算分數。等等……不，是 BGA 計算你的分數，別擔心，沒有人會私下算帳……這裡沒有貓膩……
遊戲共進行25回合，目標是在賓果遊戲板上建造盡可能強的德州撲克牌型。每個遊戲板包含12條線：5條水平線、5條垂直線和2條對角線。在該線上擁有最強牌型的玩家得1分。
這就是按照德州撲克規則玩的賓果遊戲。再加上一些任務，在遊戲過程中設定額外的目標，讓遊戲更有趣，這就成了Texas Bingo。
因此，基本玩法非常簡單：將已翻開的牌放在你的遊戲板上，排列成強力的撲克牌型。加上你的任務卡獎勵，得分最高者獲勝。
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=texasbingo
我們要感謝遊戲設計師 Minjae Kim 和 Yeonwoo，以及 Ludibox 的各位，感謝他們允許我們將這款遊戲添加到我們的平台。也要特別感謝 Kkevy 完成了 BGA 的移植工作。

The Summer of Games 2026 is going strong, we’re almost halfway there, and the cats are out again!
You and your clan lurk in the shadows of the buildings stretch across an alley. On the other side, the opposite clan stands proud. And in the middle lies a highly coveted treasure: a bag full of precious yarn balls! Sharpen your claws and get ready to attack! The clan with the most points at the end of the game will be declared the winner.
CATATAↃ is a fast-paced, strategic team card game that throws into a frantic feline duel. Players are divided into 2 clans, each with an even number of players, for games up to six. Your goal is to bring as many yarn balls back to your hideout as possible before the opposing team does! You’ll need a purrfect partnership to defeat the other clan.
On your turn, place a Paw Card from your hand onto the discard pile. Then interact with the yarn ball by performing one of the 3 basic actions (steal, move, or hoard) and trigger the effects of your Paw Card. Then draw one or more cards until you have six in your hand.
It is now time to prove that you always land on your feet. Let’s pounce!

CATATAↃ：喵不可言的團隊合作！
2026夏日遊戲節正在如火如荼地進行中，我們已經接近一半的路程，貓咪們又出來活動了！
你和你的族人潛伏在橫跨小巷的建築陰影中。另一邊，敵對的族群傲然屹立。而小巷中央，藏著一件令人垂涎的寶物：一袋珍貴的毛線球！磨利你的爪牙，準備進攻吧！遊戲結束時，得分最高的族群將贏得勝利。
CATATAↃ 是一款節奏明快、策略性強的團隊卡牌遊戲，將玩家帶入一場緊張刺激的貓咪對決。玩家分為兩個陣營，每個陣營人數為偶數，最多支援六人遊戲。你的目標是在對方陣營之前，盡可能地將毛線球帶回己方藏身處！你需要完美的團隊合作才能擊敗對方陣營。
輪到你時，將一張爪印卡從你的手牌中放置到棄牌堆。然後與毛線球互動，執行三種基本動作之一（偷竊、移動或囤積），並觸發爪印卡的效果。之後抽取一張或多張卡牌，直到你的手牌達到六張。
現在是時候證明你總是能化險為夷了。讓我們發動進攻！

Who here needs an introduction to Terraforming Mars? No one? Sure? Let’s give it a shot anyway. Terraforming Mars is basically “build an economic empire while turning Mars into Earth,” and it’s one of the modern classics of strategy board gaming.
And here comes Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game! If you like the idea of Terraforming Mars but don't want a heavy strategy game, the Dice Game is for you. It is a card-driven dice game where players use special dice to develop their corporations and terraform Mars into a new home for humanity.
On each turn, you choose either a production turn or an action turn.
During a production turn, you may keep up to three resource dice, discard any unwanted cards, draw new cards, and then take and roll the dice shown in the production boxes.
During an action turn, you perform one support action and then one main action. A support action, for example, can be used to gain and roll a die. The main action can be used, but not limited, to pay resources to terraform Mars or gain victory points.
The game ends when 2 out of 3 global parameters (ocean/temperature/oxygen) have been completed. Then all players get 1 last turn. When the last turn is completed, BGA adds VP from Awards, Milestones, and cards to get your final score.
Develop corporations, play project cards, place cities, forests, and oceans, raise Mars’ oxygen and temperature levels, all simply by rolling dice.
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=terraformingmarsthedicegame
Thank you to Jacob Fryxelius, the game designer, and to FryxGames, the publisher, for transforming the challenge of making Mars habitable into such an experience. Special thanks also go to BanBan for bringing the game to life on BGA and making every roll of the dice feel like a step toward a new home for humanity.

骰築火星
這裡有誰需要介紹《重塑火星》？沒人需要？確定？總之我們還是來簡單介紹一下吧。 《重塑火星》的核心玩法是「在火星上建立經濟帝國，將其改造成地球」，它是現代策略桌遊的經典之作。
而現在，骰築火星登場了！如果你喜歡《重塑火星》的核心概念，但又不想玩過於重度的策略遊戲，那麼這款骰子版正是為你量身打造的。這是一款由卡牌驅動的骰子遊戲，玩家將使用特殊的骰子來發展自己的企業，並將火星改造為人類的新家園。
在每個回合中，你可以選擇進行生產回合或行動回合。
在生產回合中，你可以保留最多三個資源骰子，棄掉任何不需要的卡牌，抽取新卡牌，接著拿取並擲出生產欄中所標示的骰子。
在行動回合中，你執行一項輔助行動，接著執行一項主要行動。舉例來說，輔助行動可用於獲取並擲出一顆骰子。主要行動則可用於（但不限於）支付資源來改造火星，或是獲取勝利分數。
當三個全球參數（海洋/溫度/氧氣）中的兩個完成後，所有玩家再進行最後一回合，遊戲便宣告結束。最後一回合結束後，BGA 會將獎勵、里程碑和卡牌獲得的勝利點數相加，得出最終得分。
不論是發展公司、打出專利卡，還是放置城市、森林和海洋，乃至於提高火星的氧氣濃度和溫度，所有這一切都只需丟丟骰子即可。
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=terraformingmarsthedicegame
感謝遊戲設計師 Jacob Fryxelius 和發行商 FryxGames，他們將重新塑造火星這項挑戰轉化為如此精彩的遊戲體驗。也要特別感謝 BanBan，是他讓這款遊戲在 BGA 平台上栩栩如生，讓每一次擲骰都像是打造人類新家園的一小步。

A generation ago, Elsa von Frühlingfeld presented her invention to King Frederik Augustus II of Saxony: a process she called “atomization”. Her device, the Nucleum, ushered in a new era of energy and prosperity over the next decades.
You take on the role of an industrialist trying to succeed during the economic and technological boom of 19th-century Saxony, fueled by the invention and spread of the Nucleum (which people of another century, and a different timeline, would call a nuclear reactor) and its immense power generating capabilities.
In this heavy Euro board game, on your turn, you must do one of the following:
Play an Action tile: this allows you to resolve actions and fulfill a Contract. Place the tile on the leftmost empty space at the top of your player board, then resolve both actions depicted on the tile, in any order. Any action can be skipped, nothing is mandatory. You can Urbanize, Industrialize, Develop, Contract and Energize.
Place a Railway: select any empty railway space on the map that is adjacent to a city and/or railway, place the tile on it face up in any direction, and place one of your Workers on it. Note that if you don’t have a worker, you can’t choose this action.
Recharge: gain income, advance a Milestone marker, and pull all your played tiles back off your player board so you can reuse them.
The game ends once two of five conditions are met (three in a 2-player game) and victory goes to the one with the most VP. You earn victory points by putting up Urban Buildings, powering them up with electricity, completing Contracts, and hitting milestones dictated by King Frederik Augustus II.
Build railways, mine uranium, and power a booming steampunk city in Nucleum and find that spark that wins you the game.
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=nucleum
Big thanks to Dávid Turczi and Simone Luciani, the game designers, and the Board&Dice team, for letting us plug their creation into the platform's mainframe. And thanks to Ginso for rewiring the circuits and getting Nucleum running clean on BGA.

《核子激盪》：歐姆當家
在一個世代之前，艾爾莎 · 馮 · 弗呂林菲爾德向薩克森國王腓特烈·奧古斯特二世展示了她的發明：一種她稱之為「原子化」的過程。她的裝置，即核芯，在接下來的幾十年裡開啟了能源和繁榮的新時代。
你將扮演一位實業家，試圖在 19 世紀薩克森的經濟和技術繁榮時期取得成功。這場繁榮的動力源自於核芯（在另一個世紀和不同的時間線中的人們會稱之為核反應爐）的發明和傳播，以及它巨大的發電能力。
在這款策略性很強的歐式桌遊中，輪到你時，你必須執行以下操作之一：
打出行動板塊： 這可以讓你執行行動並完成合約。將板塊放置在玩家面板頂部最左側的空白區域，然後以任意順序執行板塊上所示的兩個行動。任何行動都可以跳過，沒有強制性的。你可以進行都市化、工業化、開發、合約和發電。
放置鐵路： 選擇地圖上與城市和/或鐵路相鄰的任意空置鐵路格，將板塊正面朝上放置在該格子上（方向任意），然後將一名工人放置在該板塊上。請注意，如果您沒有工人，則無法執行此操作。
充能： 獲得收入，推進里程碑標記，並將你打出的所有板塊從玩家版圖上取回，以便你可以重新使用它們。
當五個條件中的兩個（雙人遊戲中為三個）滿足時，遊戲結束，獲得最多勝利點數的玩家獲勝。玩家可以透過建造城市建築、為其供電、完成合約以及達成腓特烈·奧古斯特二世國王規定的里程碑來獲得勝利點數。
在《核子激盪》中建造鐵路、採掘鈾礦，並為一座蓬勃發展的蒸氣龐克城市提供電力，尋找能為你贏得勝利的關鍵火花。
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=nucleum
非常感謝遊戲設計師 Dávid Turczi 和 Simone Luciani，以及 Board&Dice 團隊，感謝他們允許我們將他們的作品連接到平台的主機。也要感謝 Ginso 重新連接電路，使《核子激盪》能夠在 BGA 上流暢運作。

Coral reefs have a positive impact on nature. They cover a tiny fraction of the ocean floor, yet they house one quarter of all marine life, protect shorelines from heavy waves, and filter ocean water.
So, grab your flippers, because this fascinating underwater paradise is in danger. The ocean needs you.
In Reef Gardens, you're not just diving for fun, you're on a mission: rebuild the coral reefs before time and money run out. Every tile you place brings a new patch of reef to life, but conservation isn't cheap. When funds run low, you might have to tear out reefs you just planted to fund your next research breakthrough.
On your turn, you’ll choose between Planting and Surfacing. There is no passing, you must always take an action. Planting lets you purchase corals from the underwater nursery and plant them immediately. Surfacing requires completing at least one reef and retrieving your diver to receive research funds.
Will you protect what you've built, or sacrifice it for a shot at something bigger? If you’re unfamiliar with scuba diving and corals, you can start with the tutorial. Once you’re ready to dive in the deep blue, put on your swim suit and jump in!
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=reefgardens
Thank you to Jeffrey D. Allers, the game designer, and the dlp games crew, for letting us dive with them on the platform. We couldn’t have navigated these waters without the help of firgon and nalka for their BGA port.

Let’s hope for calm currents ahead and many reefs to explore. Take care and play fair…
Reef Gardens－珊瑚礁的任務
珊瑚礁對自然界有著正面的影響。它們僅佔據海底極小的一部分，卻庇護著四分之一的海洋生物、保護海岸線免受巨浪侵襲，並過濾海洋水質。
所以，快穿上你的蛙鞋吧，因為這片令人著迷的水下天堂正面臨危機。海洋需要你。
在Reef Gardens中，你可不只是為了好玩而潛水，你肩負著一項使命：在時間與資金耗盡前重建珊瑚礁。你放置的每一個板塊都能讓一片嶄新的珊瑚礁重獲新生，但生態保育可不便宜。當資金吃緊時，你甚至可能必須拆除剛種好的珊瑚礁，來為你的下一次研究突破籌措資金。
在你的回合中，你必須在種植與上浮之間二選一。遊戲中不能跳過回合，你始終必須執行一項行動。種植讓你能夠從水下苗圃購買珊瑚並立即進行栽種；而上浮則要求你必須完成至少一片珊瑚礁並收回你的潛水員，以獲取研究資金。
你會守護你已建立的一切，還是為了追求更大的目標而犧牲它？如果你對水肺潛水和珊瑚不太了解，可以先看看教學。準備好潛入深藍海洋了嗎？穿上泳衣，縱身躍入吧！
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=reefgardens

Ah gardens… A healthy, and diverse garden is buzzing with life: colorful, full of energy and peaceful, all at once.
What happens if you take a break and breathe it all in? You might discover a hidden and unknown world with tiny creatures everywhere: Under the Leaves, under mushrooms, and in puddles.
The game’s objective is quite simple: build a beautiful and varied garden. Lay down your tiles to attract bees and hummingbirds and discover little dwellers living under your feet by meeting certain conditions. Whoever has the most bees, hummingbirds and dwellers at the end of the 12 rounds, will win the game.
Each round is played in two phases.
During phase 1, you pick a tile from the market, grow your grid by adding the tile next to an existing one and if you connect colors by matching terrains, you will create larger areas to attract creatures.
Which brings us to phase 2 and the potential arrival of creatures. Create an area of three matching colors to attract bees. Pollinate terrains to get a hummingbird and if your pattern matches any active dweller cards, they will stay with you.
The game comes to an end when the tiles run out and the market cannot be restored.
Build a garden so nice that bees, hummingbirds, and crawlers squat in it rent-free.

Under the Leaves：隱形生物已經遷入
啊，花園…一個健康、多樣化的花園充滿生機：色彩繽紛、充滿活力、寧靜祥和。
如果你停下來，深呼吸一下，會發生什麼事？你可能會發現一個隱藏的、未知的世界，那裡到處都是微小的生物：樹葉下、蘑菇下、水坑裡。
遊戲的目標很簡單：建造一個美麗多樣的花園。擺放你的板塊來吸引蜜蜂和蜂鳥，並透過滿足特定條件來發現生活在你腳下的小居民。 12輪遊戲結束後，擁有最多蜜蜂、蜂鳥和居民的玩家獲勝。
每一輪比賽都分為兩個階段進行。
在階段一中，您可以從市場中選擇一塊板塊，透過將該板塊添加到現有板塊旁邊來擴展您的網格，如果您透過匹配地形連接顏色，您將創建更大的區域來吸引生物。
這引出了階段二以及生物可能的到來。創建一個由三塊相同顏色組成的區域來吸引蜜蜂。透過在地形中進行授粉來獲得蜂鳥。如果你的圖案與啟動的居民卡相符，牠們便會留下來陪伴你。
當板塊用完且市場無法恢復時，遊戲結束。
建造一個如此美麗的花園，讓蜜蜂、蜂鳥和小蟲子免費棲息其中。

This is the first cat-themed game of the Summer of Games 2026, and it is a banger!
You are a citizen of Squall’s End on a mission to rescue inhabitants from the legendary Isle of Cats. The island, inhabited by a race of ancient, fierce, wise, and majestic cats, is threatened by the approaching armies of Vesh Darkhand, who will stop at nothing to destroy the island and its noble creatures.
The Isle of Cats Duel is a competitive 2-player tile-placement game played over 4 rounds, aka days. Each player has their own boat containing 7 rooms, 5 colored treasure maps, and even rats to entertain the cats you’ll rescue. This is where you will be placing every cat you rescue and any treasure you find.
A round consists of setting up the island, player turns and clearing the island. At the start of each round, BGA will fill the island board as we want you to only have fun playing.
Once the set-up is complete, you will take turns with your opponent exploring the island by moving the Oshax figure exactly 2 spaces along the path footprints. You can also select discoveries and perform any number of fish actions you can afford. Discovering and fishing are optional, but they come with nice perks. You can discover cats, treasures and other shenanigans with immediate effect. Or you can use fish stored on your boat to move more, jump around, get a treasure or an extra discovery.
A round ends when the island is empty or when both players choose not to perform the selection action on consecutive turns. Then BGA jumps back in, clears the island and sets things up for the next day, sorry, round…
The Summer of Games 2026 will bring more cats around during the month of August. You can keep track of what will be released daily on this forum post. Now, it is time for you to go save some cats!

The Isle of Cats Duel（貓島奇緣 對決）：鞋貓劍客
這是 2026 夏日遊戲節 的首款貓咪主題遊戲，而且精彩得不得了！
你是一位來自颶風之末的居民，肩負著拯救傳說中貓島居民的使命。這座島嶼居住著一群古老、兇猛、有智慧與威嚴的貓族，如今卻面臨著維什黑手大軍的威脅。維什黑手為了摧毀這座島嶼及其高貴的生靈不惜一切代價。
The Isle of Cats Duel是一款競爭激烈的雙人板塊放置遊戲，共進行4輪，亦即4天。每位玩家都擁有屬於自己的船隻，船上共有7個房間、5張不同顏色的寶藏圖，甚至還有用來逗樂你所救援貓咪的小老鼠。這裡就是你放置所有救出的貓咪以及找到的任何寶藏的地方。
一輪遊戲包括設置島嶼、玩家回合和清空島嶼。每輪開始時，BGA 會先填滿島嶼版圖，我們希望您能盡情享受遊戲樂趣。
設定完成後，你將與對手輪流探索島嶼，每次移動喵夏克沿著路徑移動正好2格。你也可以選擇發現目標，並執行任意數量的捕魚行動。 發現和捕魚是選擇性的，但它們會帶來不錯的獎勵。你可以立即發現貓咪、寶藏和其他驚喜。或者你可以使用船上儲存的魚來移動更多距離、跳躍、獲得寶藏或進行額外的發現。
當島上空無一物，或雙方玩家連續回合均未執行選擇行動時，一輪遊戲結束。然後BGA會重新介入，清空島嶼，並為隔天遊戲做好準備… 抱歉，是下一輪…
2026夏日遊戲節將在八月帶來更多貓咪相關的遊戲。你可以在此論壇貼文上關注每日更新內容。現在，是時候去拯救貓咪啦！

感謝遊戲設計師 Frank West 和發行商 The City of Games 讓我們將他們的遊戲加入平台。也要感謝 Mizutismask 提供的 BGA 移植版本。
以上就是本週一發布的消息。
別指望你救出來的貓咪會對你感激涕零。正如某隻貓曾說過的：「喵！關我貓事。」請謹慎並公平競爭…
31 days, 31 games! We’re not kitten around: a new game every day for the whole month.
Yes, you guessed it right, Summer of Games 2026 is back and starting on August 1st!
We have many wonderful games waiting for you, and this is the purr-fect moment to adopt these new babies.
How Does It Work?
A new treasure chest will appear each day on the calendar.
Click on it.
Open it.
Discover the game of the day.
That is all you need to do. Every day until August 31st.
Unlock Exclusive Achievements
If you open the revealed game every single day, you will collect exclusive, cat-themed trophies. So cute…
There are 4 trophies:
- One for the 1st day you open a gift,
- Another for a 10-day streak,
- One more for clicking consecutively for 20 days on the front-page calendar,
- And a last one for completing the entire month's challenge.
The trophies are unique to this summer event and won’t return. If you miss a day, the streak breaks. It is a challenge, but it is a fun one.
Game List
The full game list will be updated regularly in this forum post so you can track everything revealed during the month.
Wherever you are, at the beach, up a mountain or even at work, we hope our kittens will bring you joy, excitement and a daily spark of play.
Stay cool, stay curious, and pet a cat.
With love,
The BGA Team
2026年夏日遊戲節：貓咪王國
31天，31款遊戲！我們可不是在開玩笑：整個月每天都會推出一款新遊戲。
沒錯，你猜對了，2026年夏日遊戲節即將回歸，並將於8月1日開幕！
我們有許多精彩的遊戲等著你，現在正是領養這些新寶貝的最佳時機。
該如何進行呢？
日曆上每天都會出現一個新的寶箱。
點擊它。
打開它。
探索今日的遊戲。
你只需要做這些。每天都要，直到8月31日。
解鎖專屬成就
如果你每一天都打開遊戲，就能收集到獨家的貓咪主題獎盃。太可愛了…
共有 4 個獎盃：
- 一座是當你第一天打開禮物時獲得的，
- 一座是連續10天打開，
- 另一座是連續20天點擊首頁日曆，
- 完成整個月的挑戰則可獲得最後一座獎盃。
這些是本次夏日活動的專屬獎盃，未來不會復刻。如果你錯過一天，連勝紀錄就會中斷。 這的確是個挑戰，但也充滿樂趣。
遊戲清單
完整的遊戲清單將在本論壇 貼文中定期更新，以便您可以追蹤本月公佈的所有內容。
無論您身在何處，海邊或山上，甚至是工作地點，我們都希望我們的小貓咪能為您帶來歡樂、興奮和每日的玩耍樂趣。
保持冷靜，保持好奇心，然後去擼擼貓。
愛你的，
BGA團隊敬上
