Skull King is now in Alpha!
The famous pirate card game is coming to BGA! /reviewer?game=skullking

Skull King is a trick-taking game in which you will bid the exact number of tricks you predict you will win each round. You'll battle with your rivals as you strive to keep your own bid afloat... while seizing opportunities to also sink your opponents! The pirate with the highest score at the end of the game wins and earns the title of Captain of the Seven Seas!

Have fun!

Yaxha is now in alpha!

/reviewer?game=yaxha

Recreate the Mayan pyramids on your tabletop in Yaxha, three blocks at a time.

In each of the ten rounds, fill all market tiles by drawing three blocks at a time from the bag. Blocks come in five colors. All players simultaneously choose and reveal a card showing a market tile. If all players chose different market tiles, everyone takes the blocks from their chosen tile; if not, the tied player with the lowest turn order card takes their chosen blocks, while other tied players choose from what's left unclaimed, after which players exchange turn order cards.

Beyond is now in alpha!
/reviewer?game=beyond

Nian Shou, an evil spirit, threatens the balance of our world. The most valiant Warrior among you will have the honor of challenging him to battle...

Beyond is a competitive game : the player with the most energy points wins. Gather 4 cards representing one of the celestial spirits to secure energy points. You will be able to obtain these cards through 4 possible mechanisms :
- push your luck when drawing for cards
- use tokens in exchange for cards
- steal cards from other players, using back side of your cards
- special effects in advanced mode with your tokens
The game ends when a player has completed 3 spirit patterns (4 cards each). All players finish the round before accounting for points. Unless one player is able to gather all 6 Nian Shou cards and immediately wins the game.

Digit Code is now in alpha!
/reviewer?game=digitcode

In Digit Code, each player tries to break a secret six-digit code, with three numbers above three numbers, with a digit 0-9 appearing at most twice and not adjacent to one another.
The letters A-Y are used to indicate number segments in a column or in a row, or within a particular digit. Players take turns asking each other questions of four types.

Hello, starting by now Custodian Dice is alpha.
It's a checkers game but played with dice. Player starts with random dice values, but then strategy will be the most important part of the game (if you play with default options).
If you chose Roll option for new die value chaos will reign and luck will suffer strategy.
Enjoy the game.

Thank you

Hello,
I'm a game developer on BGA.
I'm also a doctor, and I'm finishing a course in addiction studies at the University of Bordeaux (France). As part of this, I'm carrying out a study to assess whether BGA players can present addiction criteria: can the board games I adapt online make you “addicted”?
The SANSPY CNRS and Bordeaux University research laboratory has allowed me to use their resources to distribute this questionnaire, which will take an estimated 10 minutes to complete.
This survey is anonymous and voluntary. Your voluntary participation is essential to the success of my work, so I would like to thank you in advance for your time. Please only answer this questionnaire once per person, even if you receive several invitations to take part in the survey.
Yours playfully,
Dr Céline Palmato (Alias BoucleMed)

Enquête anonyme sur les usages de jeux de société en ligne via BoardGameArena
Bonjour,
Je suis développeuse de jeux sur BGA.
Je suis par ailleurs médecin, et je termine une formation en addictologie au sein de l’Université de Bordeaux (France). Dans ce cadre, je réalise une étude pour évaluer si les joueurs de BGA peuvent présenter des critères d’addiction : est-ce que les jeux de société que j’adapte en ligne peuvent vous rendre ‘addict’ ?
Le laboratoire de recherche SANSPY CNRS et Université de Bordeaux m’ont permis d’utiliser leurs moyens pour diffuser ce questionnaire, dont le temps est estimé à 10 minutes.
Cette enquête est anonyme et facultative. Votre participation volontaire est essentielle pour le succès de mon travail, aussi je vous remercie par avance du temps que vous voudrez bien lui consacrer. Merci aussi de ne répondre à ce questionnaire qu’une seule fois par personne, même si vous recevez plusieurs invitations à participer à l’enquête.
Bien ludiquement,
Dr Céline Palmato (Alias BoucleMed)

Merci de répondre ici :

Hello,
Any news on Love Letter? I can't seem to find it in the games to review list.

пре 26 дана • додај коментар

Dear Love Letter players: we got some bad news. There is an uncommon legal issue with this game that forces us to remove it from BGA.

The game is "private" for now: it means that the only one to see this game are the players who played it before.

BGA and the right holders will make everything possible to get the game back soon, but for now we do not know when

I am a reviewer and other than scrolling through the list of ALPHA games, is there any other way of knowing up and coming games?

About BGA reviewers

This group is for expert players of the community to help with the review process for new game adaptations. Membership to this group and access to the games available for review are granted from the `Contribute to BGA` / `Become a BGA reviewer` page (https://boardgamearena.com/reviewer).

Everyone can post on the newsfeed, so that developers can announce their games when they become available for review.

Members can use chat messages to organize playtests between themselves.

Please remember to provide the developers with detailed and constructive feedback through the bug reports system to help them move their game forward (the link to the report system for each game under review is available on the reviewer page for games you have started reviewing).

Resources:
~~ Alpha games general information: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=240&t=15392
~~ Alpha games guidelines for reviewers: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=240&t=17325

Please note that since early 2021:
- a minimum of 3 games played are needed to give your approval for a game;
- reviewers (and only reviewers) can now invite other players to their alpha table to facilitate playtesting (invited players are granted access immediately). Thus, reviewers can now have a more active/leading role in organizing playtesting. Please note that there is a limit to the number of invitations (5 per 24h);
- since the purpose of alpha is to gather feedback, the rating system prompts players for feedback at the end of each alpha game;
- since ratings are now merged with the common rating system, approval is now just giving your go for beta when you think the game is ready (no more rating at this step).

Important notice:
~~ When testing alpha games, there may be blocking bugs, so all games are started in 'Training mode' so that you don't get penalties. If you are blocked in a crashed game, you can go to the game table with the URL https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=NNNNN (where NNNNN is the number of your table) to access the table view and quit.

Have fun discovering new games!
