A lot of you regularly ask us if Board Game Arena is going to publish an application for tablet or mobile in the future. Well, we still do not know if this would be good or bad for BGA, but we would like to explore something in this area so here it is: the Hive application for Android developped by Jean-Baptiste Chaubet is now connected to Board Game Arena for online play!
This app has everything that you can expect from an app: local play, a (strong) AI, a tutorial, and of course an interface that has been designed for mobile.
But the great thing compared to other apps you can find on mobile devices is that the Online Play mode is connected to Board Game Arena. It means that you can play Hive online from the app against someone playing on BGA (or the opposite). And this is very good both for BGA and for the app, because of course in this way there are more players available on both sides 🙂
This integration between the Hive app and BGA has been realized by the Hive app developer Jean-Baptiste Chaubet: we'd like to thank him for this great opportunity to see how it feels to play online on BGA from an app! 🙂
To install Hive for android, follow this link.
This is the first time that the BGA online play functionnality is embedded inside an app, and everything is probably not perfect, however we really would like to have your feedback on all of this 🙂
Note: for now the Hive app does not support the Facebook/Google login buttons. If you want to use your BGA account for this app, you may have to dissociate Facebook/Google from your account on the Preferences / Account page in order to get a password associated to your email that you can use on the app (and then, you can associate your account again to Facebook/Google if you want, the password will stay valid).
用安卓 APP 與 BGA 上的玩家玩蟲蟲蜂房!
大家都在問:桌遊競技場是否即將推出平板或手機的應用程式?
嗯,我們還不確定製作手機 APP 符不符合效益,所以我們先用由 Jean-Baptiste Chaubet 所開發的 蟲蟲蜂房安卓應用程式,現在能夠以線上模式連結到桌遊競技場!
這個 APP 有著你預期 APP 該有的功能:單機模式,(強大的)AI, 教學模式,當然還有一個適合行動裝置的介面。
這個 app 最棒的地方還是這個:線上模式可以直接連接到 BGA 跟其他人對戰。
這代表你能用 app 與 BGA 上的蟲蟲蜂房玩家對戰(或者反過來說)。
藉由這個合作,BGA 和這個 app 能創造雙贏的局面,因為這樣一來就有更多玩家能在兩邊進行遊玩
感謝蟲蟲蜂房 app 的開發者Jean-Baptiste Chaubet ,將 BGA 和 app 之間做了整合,讓我們有這個機會能夠體驗用 app 連線到 BGA 進行線上遊戲!

這是 BGA 線上遊玩功能第一次嵌入到Android app 中,可能還不是十全十美,因此我們希望能夠獲得大家的反饋
注意:目前蟲蟲蜂房 app 沒辦法用Facebook/Google 登入 BGA 的帳號。
如果您想要在這個 app 上使用你的 BGA 帳戶,請你從喜好設定 / 帳號頁面上將你的 BGA 帳號連結到你的電子郵件並設定密碼,讓你可以在 app 上登入(如果需要的話,可以將你的帳號重新與Facebook/Google 連結,設定好的密碼還是可以繼續使用)。
