Board Game Arenan perusteet

Mikä on Board Game Arena?

What, you don't know yet? Let's bring you up to speed! Board Game Arena (BGA) is an online board games platform.

With BGA, you can play online, either in real time or turn based, against players from around the whole world. A selection of various board games and card games are available. In order to play, the only thing you need is your browser!

Nopea yleiskatsaus on BGA-esittelysivulla.

Mitä reaaliaikainen pelaaminen tarkoittaa?

When playing a real-time game, your opponents are connected to the game platform during the entire game. They can see your moves and react to them immediately - as is the case in the real world.

Mitä vuoropohjainen pelaaminen tarkoittaa?

When playing a turn-based game, players do not need to be connected all the time. They leave and come back when it's their turn to play. Once all your opponents have completed their moves you are notified that it is your turn (by email or on your next visit to the site). Then you can access this game, take your turn, and the process repeats for the next player.

Mitä tarvitsen pelatakseni?

Your browser... and that's all! Board Game Arena does not require anything else. This way, you can play from any device, anywhere, anytime!

However, we are using the latest technologies available for the web. For this reason, you should play with the most up to date web browsers to enjoy an optimal BGA experience.

Parhaan mahdollisen pelikokemuksen saavuttamiseksi suosittelemme seuraavia selaimia:
  • Google Chrome 10+
  • Mozilla Firefox 4+
Tuemme virallisesti seuraavia selaimia:
  • Google Chrome 4+
  • Mozilla Firefox 3.5+
  • Internet Explorer 11+
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari 4+
  • Tuemme myös pelaamista iPadeilla ja vastaavilla tableteilla, sekä matkapuhelimilla.

Voinko pelata ilmaiseksi?

Voit pelata lautapelejä ja nauttia suurimmasta osasta Board Game Arenan toiminnoista ilmaiseksi. Jotkin lisäominaisuudet ovat saatavilla vain Premium-jäsenille.

Lisätietoja Premium-käyttäjien eduista on Premium-jäsenyys-sivulla.

Rakastan BGA:ta! Kuinka voin auttaa?

Kiitos! Board Game Arena tosiaankin on yhteisösivusto, joka on olemassa ja on kasvanut monien intohimoisten pelaajien panosten ansiosta.

Voit osallistua useilla tavoilla, kuten:
  • If you are a native speaker in another language than English, you can help us translate Board Game Arena in your language.
  • If you are a web developer, you can help us implementing new games on our BGA Studio development platform.
  • If you have the means to support us financially, please consider becoming a Premium member to keep the website running and expanding!

For more information about the different possibilities to help BGA, please check our 'Contribute to BGA' page.

Pelaaminen

Kuinka voin aloittaa uuden pelin?

Go on the 'Play now' section, select your prefered game mode (ex: 'Real-time'), find the game you want to play, and then click on the 'Play' button.
  • Jos olet valinnut 'Automaattiset vastustajat'-tilan, sinun on vain odotettava vastustajia.
  • Otherwise, you will be displayed a list of table you can join. Choose a game table, join it, wait for players to join, and once you have the players, click 'Start game'. Have fun!

Mitä jos kukaan ei liity pöytääni?

Suosituimpiin peleihin löydät pelaajia ympäri vuorokauden. Jos et löydä vastustajaa, suosittelemme että tulet takaisin ns. "ruuhka-aikana" (noin 22:00 CEST).

Vinkki: tarkasta linjoilla/vapaana olevien pelaajien määrä, ennenkuin aloitat uuden pelin.
Vinkki: jos kukaan ei ole tavoitettavissa pelaamaan reaaliaikaisesti, voit muuttaa pelipöytäsi vuoropohjaiseksi, jolloin toinen pelaaja voi liittyä mukaan jopa tunteja/päiviä myöhemmin.

Voinko osallistua useampaan reaaliaikaiseen peliin samanaikaisesti?

Kyllä, voit liittyä tai luoda useita reaaliaikaisia pöytiä samanaikaisesti manuaalisen peliaulan avulla.

This is even recommended to be in several tables, to maximize your chance to find opponents, instead of waiting at a single table.

When one of your realtime table starts, you are automatically removed from the other tables and you can focus on your game.

For example, if you want to play Carcassonne, Keyflower and 7 Wonders, we suggest you to join or create a table for these 3 games, so all the other players can see you are ready to play these games.

Toinen esimerkki: jos haluat pelata Saboteuria, suosittelemme liittymistä kaikkiin avoimiin pöytiin.

Liityin peliin. Milloin peli alkaa?

Reaaliaikaisissa peleissä jokaisessa pöydässä on isäntä, joka on pöydän luoja. Pöytäisännän vastuulla on aloittaa peli, kun hän on tyytyväinen pöytään liittyneiden pelaajien määrään. Jos olet pöydän isäntä etkä voi käynnistää peliä, se johtuu useimmiten siitä, ettei tarpeeksi pelaajia ole vielä liittynyt pöytään.

Vuoropohjaisissa peleissä peli alkaa heti, kun pelaajien enimmäismäärä on saavutettu. Pöydän isäntä voi myös päättää aloittaa pelin manuaalisesti milloin tahansa sen jälkeen, kun tämän pelin pelaamiseen vaadittava vähimmäismäärä pelaajia on liittynyt.

Kuinka voin pelata yksinpeliä?

There are an increasing number of games available for solo play on BGA. To find these games, you can go to the Games page and filter by "Number of players: Solo."

Pelin aloittaminen yksinpeliä varten "Manual"-aulassa:
  • Luo uusi pöytä
  • Valitse "Pelitila"-vaihtoehdoksi "ystävyyspeli"
  • Vähennä pelaajien määrää yhteen
  • Avaa pöytä muille pelaajille (ei tässä tapauksessa, mutta tämä on silti välttämätön askel)
  • Aloita peli.

Pelin aloittaminen yksinpelissä "Automaattinen" aulassa:
  • Muuta asetuksia napsauttamalla rataskuvaketta
  • Paina "Näytä lisäasetukset"
  • Aseta "Ystävyystila" vihreäksi ja "Normaalitila" punaiseksi "Pelitila"-vaihtoehdossa
  • Aseta "1 pelaaja" vihreäksi ja sitten kaikki muut vaihtoehdot punaisiksi "Pelaajan numero" -vaihtoehdossa
  • Napsauta "Pelaa nyt".

Mitä värillinen ympyrä pelaajan nimen vieressä tarkoittaa?

online_.png : Tämä pelaaja on aktiivinen. Hän suoritti toiminnon hiljattain.
inactive_.png : This player is inactive. He or she is connected to the website but has not performed any action recently.
offline_.png : Pelaaja on offline-tilassa.

Mitä pelaajan nimen vieressä olevat kuvakkeet tarkoittavat?

active_player.gif : Tämän pelaajan on nyt tehtävä siirtonsa.
active_player_clockalert.gif : This player must make a move now, and has used up all his/her available thinking time. Can someone wake them up? ;)
active_player_nonack.gif : This player must make a move now, but is probably not aware of this fact. If the situation doesn't change, it might mean that this player has a connection issue.
: When the 'normal' avatar of a player is displayed, it means that this player is waiting for their turn to play.

Pelaaja ei pelaa. Mitä voin tehdä?

First, please remember that other players have the right to think as long as they need to about their next move... Well, as long as there is still some time left on their game clock, that is. After that, you can use the chat to ask this player to confirm that he or she is still thinking about how to play.

If the player seems to be away, we advise you to wait a few minutes: this player may be experiencing some network problems or have left temporarily. If the player is not coming back, and his/her clock has become negative, then you can kick this player out of the game. The effects of kicking a player out are the following:
  • Tämä pelaaja saa mainerangaistuksen "lähtö" (katso lisätietoja kohdasta ”Maine/Karma”).
  • This player will lose the same ELO points as if he/she was the loser (last place) of this game, minus an additional -10 ELO.
  • Whatever happens in the game afterwards, all the other players will be considered tied at the first place for ELO, and will receive a % of the ELO corresponding to the % of progression of the game at the moment the player was kicked out. Ex: if 80% of the game has been played, the remaining players will receive 80% of the ELO they would have won.
  • Tämän pelaajan kaikki seuraavat vuorot ohitetaan.

With this system, we ensure that even if you are in a losing position, it is NEVER a good choice for you to quit a game in progress. This system is a little bit harsh, but unlike many other services, about 99% of games played on BGA are not abandoned, and we are proud of that :)

Miten pelin kello tarkalleen ottaen toimii?

Before playing each game, depending on the 'Speed' settings, you can see two values: the initial time amount and the additional time per turn.

Kun on sinun vuorosi miettiä, kellossasi jäljellä oleva aika vähenee.

Säännöllisesti (yleensä jokaisella 'kierroksella') peliaikaasi lisätään.

If your timer reaches zero (or gets negative), any other player can kick you out from the game: you should be careful NEVER to be in this situation.

Joitakin yksityiskohtia ja erityistapauksia:
  • There is a maximum amount of time for each player. In general, this maximum matches the initial time amount (ie: you can never have more than the initial time).
  • If you get a negative clock at some point during a game, even if you are not expelled, you will get a 'clock' red spot on your reputation.
  • Kun pelaat peliä ensimmäisen kerran, kaikki käytettävissä olevat aikasi tuplataan.
  • Tournaments are using a completely different system ('fixed time limit'): you get an amount of time at the beginning, and there is no additional time during the game.
  • For turn-based games, 'X turns / day' means '24 / X' hours of additional time per move. For example, '2 turns / day' means '+12 hours per move'.

Miten suoritatte satunnaiset tapahtumat (nopanheitot, korttien sekoitus, jne...)?

Noppa ja vastaaviin 'satunnaisluku' toimintoihin käytämme PHP-toimintoa 'random_int'. This function has a cryptographically secure randomness, which means that it may be even better than real dice :)

For card shuffling, we are using the PHP method 'shuffle', based on the 'Mersenne Twister' algorithm which is used by most online Poker websites.

Please note that there are thousands of games played each day on BGA, so a rare event whose probability is really low may still happen dozens of times per day on BGA.

Finally, for those asking themselves "But is that random number generator truly random?", please check this page from random.org which is a great ressource to understand the complexity of this question.

Mitä jos pelaaja tekee jotain väärin?

The Board Game Arena platform has been designed to encourage players to maintain good behavior. The reputation system allows you to distinguish between good and bad players. Then, it is up to you to decide whether to start a game with them or not.

If you think a player behaved badly during a game, you can give them a 'red thumb' at the end of the game. Punaisen peukalon vaikutukset ovat:
  • Tämä pelaaja ei voi enää pelata kanssasi (paitsi jos kohtaat hänet turnauksessa).
  • Tämä pelaaja ei voi lähettää sinulle yksityisviestejä tai katsella pelejäsi katsojana.

If you think a player committed a serious wrongdoing during a game (for example insulting another player in the chat), please report this player to us, using the 'report this player' link from their profile or by clicking on the 'red thumb' at the end of the game, so that we can take appropriate measures.

Automaattitilan (`Automatic Mode`) käyttäminen: miten peliasetukset toimivat?

Kun käytät aulaa automaattisessa tilassa, voit määrittää mieltymyksesi useille pelivaihtoehdoille napsauttamalla hammaspyörää.
  • "Voin pelata..." tarkoittaa, että olet valmis pelaamaan tällä asetuksen arvolla.
  • `I prefer not to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value... Except if this is the only available possibility after searching an alternative during a few minutes.
  • `I'm reluctant to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value... Except if this is the only available possibility after searching an alternative during a long time.
  • `I never want to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value at all.

Kuinka kauan pelipöytä on avoinna, jos kukaan ei pelaa?

Jos kukaan ei ole tehnyt siirtoa pelipöydässä vähään aikaan, se suljetaan automaattisesti palvelinresurssien vapauttamiseksi:
  • A real-time table is closed automatically if more than 4 hours have elapsed since its creation and if all players at this table are now offline.
  • Vuoropohjainen pöytä suljetaan automaattisesti, jos mitään siirtoa ei ole tehty 40 päivän aikana.

Mitä ovat alfa- ja beta-pelit ja miksi meitä varoitetaan niistä?

Alpha and beta games on Board Game Arena are works in progress. Alpha games are in the very early stages of development, so they might be unfinished, and you're asked not to share anything about them. It's also expected that you'll provide feedback to help improve the game. Beta games are a bit more polished but can still have bugs or issues. The warnings are there to remind you about potential problems (like bugs or instability) and to encourage you to report anything you encounter to help the developers refine the game.

Käyttäjätilisi, maineesi ja sijoituksesi

Kuinka mainepisteet (Karma) oikein toimivat?

The Karma score (☯) is a quick way to check if a player has a good reputation on BGA (does not quit games, is friendly and fair play, ...).

Depending on your Karma score, you may also be allowed or disallowed to use some features on BGA or to join a given table.

Henkilökohtainen Karmasi on 75☯ (maksimi 100☯). Sitten:
  • Joka kerta, kun päätät pelin ja peliaikasi ei ole mennyt negatiiviseksi kertaakaan pelin aikana, saat +1☯.
  • If you quit, or get kicked out of a game in progress, you lose 10☯ or even 20☯ if you already quit another game recently.
  • Jos myöhästyt ennalta sovitusta turnauspelistä: -4☯.

Mitkä ovat käytännesäännöt?

Board Game Arenassa, sinun ei tulisi:
  • Antaa ajan loppua kellosta.
  • Tarkoituksella pelin jättäminen kesken.
  • Take an unnecessary and unreasonable amount of time at the end of game in an obvious losing situation.
  • Engage in Kingmaking: enabling another player to win on purpose while there is a better move to make for yourself.
  • Give some piece of information about the current game situation that disturbs the normal game flow.
  • Communicate with another player about the game privately (for example with an instant messenging app).
  • Osallistua provosoimiseen / voitonriemuun / tappiossa rypemiseen tai mihinkään, mikä ei ole reilua peliä.
  • Use an avatar that may be shocking or offensive to other players (no advertisement, no politics, ...)
Näiden sääntöjen vastaisesti toimiminen vaikuttaa maineeseesi.

Miksi sain IP-osoiteilmoituksen liittyessäni pöytään?

When you join a table, you may receive a message informing you that a player is playing from the same IP address as another player. This means they could potentially be sharing information. We've decided to display this warning to let you know. You are free to decide whether or not you wish to participate in this game. For more details please check out our 'Multi account policy'.

Mikä on ehdottomasti kiellettyä?

Board Game Arenassa on ehdottoman kiellettyä:
  • Loukata muita pelaajia millään tavalla.
  • Luoda useita käyttäjätilejä ja pelata itseään vastaan korottaakseen sijoitustaan.
  • Ärsyttäminen, vihoittelu, niskoittelu, turha kritiikki tai kunnianloukkaus.
Going against these rules can lead to the removal of your account and/or a ban from the website.

Minkälaista ohjeistusta minun tulisi noudattaa kommunikoidessa?

The general rule you should follow is to talk to people (in the forum, in the chat, ...) as if they were friends that you invited to play at your home: then you'll naturally give them your attention and be kind to them so that everyone feels welcome and at ease. Ja on aina mahtavaa pelata ystävien kanssa!

You should also be aware that in an international communication context, not everyone has the same mastery of the language being used, and that cultural differences can sometimes lead to misundernstandings. When in doubt, please consider the most kind and well intentioned meaning as it will be the good one most of the time!

And finally, do not use Board Game Arena communication resources to advertise other gaming websites. If you want to talk about your experience elsewhere, please just say something like 'on another gaming website'.

Turnaukset ja karma: miten nämä toimivat?

Pelatakseen turnauksessa on saavutettava tietty vähimmäismaine (oletusarvo on 65☯).

If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament for which you registered, you may not be able to participate.

If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament in progress, you may be expelled from the tournament (but not from your games in progress).

Kuinka ELO-pisteeni lasketaan?

The players ELO score on BGA is based on the ELO formula, which is one of the most popular ways to evaluate a player level. Please check Wikipedia if you are interested in the theory.

BGA:ssa ELO-pisteet ovat pelikohtaisia. Mikäli et ole koskaan pelannut peliä, ELO-pistemääräsi on nolla.

When you finish a game, the number of points you gain/lose depends on the level of your opponents, and more precisely on the ELO difference between you and your opponents.

The most simple situation is a 2 players game. You will gain a number of ELO point equal to K x (W - p(D)) where:
  • W on pelin tulos: 1 voitosta, 0 tappiosta, 0,5 tasapelistä.
  • D on sinun ja vastustajasi ELO-pisteiden erotus.
  • p(D) is the probability of victory considering the previous difference (see Wikipedia for details).
  • K, 'elastisuuskerroin', on arvo, joka riippuu pelaamiesi pelien määrästä: 60 ensimmäisessä 10 pelissäsi, 40 peleissä 11-20 ja ja 20 pelistä 21 eteenpäin.

Lisää yksityiskohtia ja erityistapauksia:
  • Ensimmäisellä pelikerrallasi voitat vähintään yhden (1) ELO-pisteen vaikka häviäisitkin pelin.
  • Until you reach 100 ELO (beginner), you can never lose ELO points. And after that you can never go back under 100 ELO.
  • When you play with more than 1 opponent, we consider that you win against each opponent who scores lower than you during this game, and lose against each opponent who scores better than you. For example, if you are #2 in a 4 players game, you gain ELO points as if you won against the 3rd and 4th players, and lost against the 1st. In this case, the K factor is adjusted depending of the total players number to make sure ELO variation are not too important (or too little).
  • When you win consecutively against the same opponent on a game, your ELO gains will gradually reduce. This encourages you to compete against as many players as possible.
  • When your rank is "Strong" or higher, and you don't play for an extended period, your ELO score will decrease over time.

ELO ranking allows to classify players in 7 distinct skills levels: Beginner (0 point), Apprentice (1-99 points), Average (100-199), Good (200-299), Strong (300-499), Expert (500-699), Master (700+).

Miksi joidenkin pelien sijoitukset ja kilpailulliset tilat ovat poissa käytöstä?

Jotkut Board Game Arena -peleistä eivät sovellu kilpailullisiin online-kisoihin.Tämä voi tapahtua lukuisista syistä:
  • the game may be a cooperative one, where your rank serves as a rough indication of your level but should not be viewed as a competitive rank;
  • peli on ehkä ratkaistu;
  • there may be easily accessible game engines or artificial intelligence allowing players to compete at the level of the engine instead of their own.
In any of those cases, or if a specific reason does not allow for a fair competitive basis for a game, rankings and competitive modes will be disabled (with matching trophies).

Miksi en saanut huippupalkintoa tästä pelistä?

To be awarded the top rank trophies, you need to have reached at least 300 ELO (otherwise, the first people playing the game would just get the trophies immediately). Also, there needs to be enough active players (at least 1000/300 in the last two months for the top20/top10), otherwise the achievement would not be significant.

Kuinka voin poistaa tilini?

Hengitä syvään.... Miksi sinä haluaisit tehdä niin?
Meille tulee sinua ikävä!
No niin. Jos olet päätöksesi tehnyt, löydät etsimäsi täältä: 'Asetukset -> Käyttäjätili -> Tuhoa BGA-tilini'. Heipparallaa, Cowboy!

Miksi ystäviäni on kadonnut?

Äskettäinen muutos tavassa, jolla ystävyyksiä hallitaan Board Game Arenassa on merkinnyt sitä, että joitain vanhoja ystäviä on jouduttu poistamaan. Nimittäin yksisuuntaiset ystävyyssuhteet eivät ole enää sallittuja.

Tästä lähtien saadaksesi uuden ystävän, sinun on ensin lähetettävä ystävyyspyyntö käyttäjälle. Jos kyseinen käyttäjä hyväksyy pyyntösi, teistä tulee ystäviä. Näin voit nähdä, milloin toiset ovat online-tilassa, sekä oleelliset tiedot toistenne syötteistä.

Kaikki yksisuuntaiset ystävyyssuhteet, jotka olivat olemassa ennen tätä muutosta, on poistettu ja muutettu "vanhentuneiksi ystäväpyynnöiksi".

Löydät nämä vanhentuneet pyynnöt napauttamalla "Katso lisää..." Ystävät-välilehdellä. Jos haluat silti olla ystävä näiden pelaajien kanssa, voit silti lähettää heille ystäväpyyntöjä!

Premium

Kuinka Premium-pelit toimivat?

Vain premium-jäsenet voivat luoda uusia pöytiä Premium-peleihin.
Kun pöytä on luotu, kuka tahansa voi liittyä (jopa muut kuin Premium-jäsenet).

This way, you only have to buy 1 Premium membership to play Premium games with your friends (or anyone else).

Miksi jotkut pelit ovat Premium-pelejä ja toiset eivät?

Jokainen pelien kustantaja päättää, pitäisikö heidän BGA-peleistään olla premium-luokkaa.

Muista, että suurin osa BGA-peleistä on ilmaisia kaikille :)

Haluan pelata jonkun kanssa samassa paikassa: pitääkö minun ostaa 2 Premium-jäsenyyttä?

Ei: Tarvitset vain yhden Premium-jäsenyyden.
If a Premium member is playing at a table, all restrictions based on location are removed for all other participants at this table.

Miksi samasta paikasta pelaaminen on mahdollista vain yhden Premium-jäsenen kanssa?

Playing on BGA from the same location is not something common since if you are at the same place you can play with the real physical board game. It makes sense to make it a Premium feature, so that using BGA stays a way to discover and enjoy board games with the whole world and does not become just a way to avoid buying the real physical game.

With this restriction, we also mean to limit the possibilities for cheaters to play against themselves to boost their rankings.

Mikä on Hotseat-tila ja kuinka se toimii?

Using Hotseat mode (Premium feature), you can play with your friends from the same computer or other device.

Create a simple game table on BGA, click on 'Invite a friend' button, and select 'Hotseat' for each of your opponents.

Kuinka Premium-jäsenyydestä laskutetaan?

Premium-jäsenyys on tilaus: siitä laskutetaan määräajoin.

The monthly membership is billed every month: if you subscribe on March 13th, you will be billed on April 13th, May 13th, and so on.

Vuotuista jäsenyyttä laskutetaan kerran vuodessa. Koska olet sitoutunut vuodeksi, saat jäsenyydestäsi alennusta.

If you prefer to pay manually for each membership period, we advise you to use the Paypal payment option as we do not renew automatically memberships payed using Paypal.

Kuinka voin peruuttaa jäsenyyteni? Voinko peruuttaa jäsenyyteni milloin tahansa?

Voit peruuttaa Premium-jäsenyytesi milloin tahansa asetusten "Tili"-välilehdellä.

Whenever you cancel your membership, you always remain Premium for the period you have already paid for.

Kuinka voin päivittää maksutiedot? Kuinka voin päivittää luottokorttinumeroni?

Ainoa tapa tehdä tämä on tehdä tilaus uudelleen käyttämällä uusia maksutietojasi:

  • Siirry Premium-sivulle: https://boardgamearena.com/premium
  • Peruuta nykyinen tilauksesi (jäljellä olevaa jäsenyyttä ei menetetä)
  • Valitse kuukausittainen tai vuosittainen jäsenyys ja anna uudet maksutietosi.

Note: the payment on the new Credit Card will not occur before the end of your current active membership period.

Mitä tapahtuu, jos olen jo Premium ja saan ilmaisen jäsenyyden?

If you get one free Premium month by helping BGA, your current membership period is extended by one month.

For example, if you should have been billed on April 13th, you will be billed one month later instead.

Please note that if you get your free month just before the renewal of your membership, it may be impossible to cancel the next billing so we may have to delay the subsequent bill instead.

Tarjolla olevat lautapelit

Mitä pelejä on pelattavissa?

Board Game Arena offers a wide selection of board and card games, with a strong focus on modern ('European style') board games.

Täydellinen luettelo on "Pelit" -sivulla.

Millä perusteella valitsette pelit, jotka otatte sivullenne pelattavaksi?

Halutessasi julkaista pelin BGA.ssa, tarvitsemme 2 asiaa:
  • The authorization of the digital rights owner for the game (most of the time, the original publisher).
  • A software developer volunteering the time and skills needed to build an online version of the game.

So if you are asking yourself why one of your favourite games is not yet available on BGA, it could be for various reasons:
  • We never asked an authorization for this game in the first place (of course if the game is popular, there is a good chance that we asked).
  • The publisher didn't reply or refused to grant his authorization, temporarily or definitively.
  • The publisher accepted, but we haven't found a volunteer developer yet for this game, or the development is currently ongoing.
  • Peli on valmiina, mutta me odotamme tiettyä aikaa tai tapahtumaa julkaistaksemme sen.

Jos haluat ehdottaa uutta peliä BGA:han: paras tapa auttaa meitä saamaan peli BGA:lle, on, ei kirjoitaa meille, vaankirjoittaa suoraan pelin julkaisijalle ja kertoa kuinka siisti BGA on, jotta he antaisivat meille oikeudet julkaista pelinsä täällä.

Se todellakin auttaa, joten anna mennä! Voit lähettää heille seuraavan linkin, josta löytyy kaikki, mitä heidän tarvitsee tietää:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepublishers

Entäpä pelien lisäosat?

Game expansions follow the same selection and development process than games. There can be various reasons why a game publisher doesn't want the expansion online, and sometimes we don't find a developer who has the time to develop it.

Olen julkaisija: miksi minun tulisi saada pelini Board Game Arenaan ja miten sen teen?

The main goal of Board Game Arena is to make it easy for players to discover new games, learn to play them and love them. We think that there are only two kinds of players on Board Game Arena: those who already bought the games they are playing online, and those who plan to buy them soon!

For a more detailed presentation or to contact us about licensing, please check out our 'Game publishers' page.

Areena (kilpailutila)

Mikä on Areena-pelitila?

Areena-tila on tärkein kilpailutila kaikille Board Game Arena -peleille.

Playing Arena Mode, you meet opponents in a competitive spirit, and try to become the new world champion for each game!

Kuinka se toimii?

Areena-tila perustuu kausiin.

Kausi kestää 3 kuukautta, joten joka vuonna on 4 Areena-kautta.

Kauden lopussa kunkin pelin parhaat pelaajat tulevat uudeksi BGA-maailmanmestariksi.

Entä jos en välitä kilpailupeleistä?

Arena Mode is 100% optional. You can play on BGA using 'Simple mode' and never care about it.

Mitkä ovat Areena-tilan säännöt?

Aluksi: Jotkut Areena-tilan säännöt voivat vaihtua kausien välillä.

To access Arena Mode for a game, you first need to reach 100 ELO points. It gives you access to the lower Arena league (Bronze league). You start with 1 Arena point ('Bronze - 1').

When playing on Arena mode, you play each game with its Arena format. You cannot choose your opponents: a matchmaking algorithm is choosing your opponents for you.

When you win a game in Arena mode, you gain Arena points. You gain 3 Arena points when beating an opponent from the same league, 2 points when beating an opponent from league N-1, 1 point for beating an opponent from league N-2, and so on (and the same for higher leagues).

Kun häviät pelin, menetät Areena-pisteitä. Et voi kuitenkaan pudota alle 0 pisteen.

(Note: If you play a 3+ game, the number of Arena points you get is divided by the number of opponents. So beating 5 opponents from the same league brings you 3 x 5 / 5 = 3 points).

When you reach 10 points, you are promoted to the upper league, with 1 point (ex: 'Silver - 1'). You get a corresponding trophy, and you can no longer be relegated for this season.

Tavoitteesi on tietenkin päästä korkeimpaan liigaan ennen kauden loppua :)

Kuinka monta liigaa on?

It depends on the popularity of the game: the most popular a game is, the more leagues there are (and the most difficult it is to reach the top).

Mikä on 'Eliittiliiga'?

The most active players for a given game (especially the best ones) may reach the most prestigious league: the Elite league.

In Elite league, the rules are different: each player has an Elite Arena Score (EAS), which works exactly like a standard 'ELO rank'. Based on this EAS, you get your world rank for this game (ex: 45th) and you can try to become the world champion

This EAS is hidden as long as you are playing in inferior leagues, and is revealed when you enter the Elite league. Basically, if you beat very good players during this season, your EAS will be high, and if you beat weak players your EAS will be low.

Mitä tapahtuu kauden lopussa?

For each game, the best players will receive the BGA world champion trophies for the season depending on their final rankings.

Kun uusi kausi alkaa, kaikki siirretään alempaan liigaan (ja EAS nollataan).

Mikä on "areenatila"?

The Arena format is a set of game settings that apply to all tables played in Arena mode. This keeps all Arena games for a particular game consistent, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.

Every season, the "Game Gurus" community of each game discusses and votes on the Arena format. These users can propose new formats, and the one with the most votes at the end of the season becomes the official Arena format for the next season.

In some cases, Admins may set a special rotating format that makes game option change each season based on specific rules. This is especially useful for games with complex settings that can create very different play experiences (e.g., battle scenarios, map variants).

Entä vuoropohjaiset pelit?

Areena-tila on sekä reaaliaikaisille että vuoropohjaisille peleille.

The only constraint for turn based games is that a turn based game must start and end during a given Arena season to be taken into account for this Arena season.

If your turn based game is not finished at the end of the Season, the player who consume the most thinking time during the game will lose the game.

For a given game, you must also always play on the table where you are the most waited (ie: where it's your turn for the longest time).

Mitä tapahtuu Areenan vuoropohjaisille peleille kauden lopussa?

5 days before the end of the season, it is not possible to start new Arena turn-based games anymore.

If your turn based game is not finished at the end of the Season, the player who consume the most thinking time during the game will lose the game and lose Arena points.

Muut pelaajat eivät saa tai menetä Areena-pisteitä tästä pelistä.

Peli voi jatkua jälkikäteen, mutta siitä ei ole muita seurauksia areena-rankingille.

Mikä on peliguru?

For each game on BGA, the most prolific players in the last 30 days are eligible to become the Game Gurus.
Gurut valitaan päivittäin ja he säilyttävät asemansa vähintään kuukauden.

Game Gurus have special powers, like being able to discuss and vote for the next seasons Arena format.
He myös arvioivat Alpha-opetusohjelmia.

Peliguruille uskotaan tulevaisuudessa lisävaltuuksia.

Kuinka päästään peliguruksi?

Your karma must be at least 90, and you must have been registered on Board Game Arena for at least one year.
The players who played the most (non-training) games in the last 30 days will automatically become gurus. (limited to 100 players)
Once a player is a guru for a specific game, they will keep their status for at least 1 month (unless their karma drops).

Muita ehtoja voidaan soveltaa.

Tekniset vaikeudet

Mitä voin tehdä jos minulla on ongelma sivuston kanssa?

Enemmistö sivuston ongelmista pitäisi ratketa yksinkertaisesti päivittämällä sivu (tai painamalla F5).

If you experience a persistent issue, the first thing to do is to use our troubleshooting tool to check if everything is fine with your configuration.

If you are not correctly logged in for a game (spectator instead of player), please come back to the main site and log out then log in again to refresh your authentication cookies.

Then, you can browse our bug tracker: check to see if someone has already reported this issue and upvote it, or create a new report if that's not the case. Please take the time needed to describe the problem in a clear and precise manner so that we can quickly reproduce and fix it.

Miksi tämä virhe ei ole korjattu jo?

Korjaamme paljon bugeja, jatkuvasti. Mutta tietenkin asetamme tärkeysjärjestyksen:
  • We give the highest priority to recent features and recent games, because the most important bugs are reported fast.
  • We give the highest priority to the bugs that gathered the highest number of upvotes (green thumbs) in our bug tracking tool.
  • We usually fix bugs in batches for better efficiency. So if we decide to fix an important bug on a game, there is a good chance that we will fix some other minor bugs at the same time.

BGA is known for the quality of its adaptations, and if you look at the bug tracker, you will see that - considering the number of games and the size of the community - there are not so many really important bugs open with a lot of upvotes.

Please also remember that a lot of BGA adaptations are realized and maintained by volunteers on their free time. Finding and fixing bugs is neither easy nor really fun, so the best way you can help is by being nice and giving precise information in bug reports.

It can also happen that the original developer stops maintaining the game after a while for some personal reason. In that case, remaining bugs can stay open a long time, until another developer interested in the game volunteers to take over, or for more popular games, until the number of votes attracts the attention of an admin on this bug's relevance to the community.

Pelaan mobiililaitteella ja minulla on joitakin vaikeuksia. Mitä voin tehdä?

BGA was designed with desktop and laptop computers in mind. Then we updated the layout to accomodate mobile users, but while some BGA adaptations run perfectly on mobile, some others are not designed well for small screens or touch screens. This can come from the complexity of the game itself (big board, lots of elements) or from the choices made by the developer.

Thus, when you play from a mobile device, we advise you to choose games that won't be too difficult to play on a small screen, and to pay extra attention to each of your moves to be sure to trigger the correct action: zooming a lot really helps!

Miksi minulla on hidas yhteys tai suorituskyky BGA:ssa?

We are constantly monitoring our servers responsiveness. Sometimes incidents occur, but most of the time BGA is responsive. Usually, less than 2% of game moves takes more than 200 milliseconds to process, and less than 0.2% takes more than 1 second.

The main BGA servers are located in Europe (France), but we rent relay servers all across the world (in 30+ locations) so that big files (essentially images) are loaded quickly even if you are far from us.

Please be aware that very often, performances problems can come from your internet connection or from your computer system. We advise you to try to connect with a different browser / computer / internet connection to troubleshoot the issues.

As a rule of thumb, if you are finding out that BGA is not responsive enough for you on a given day, you shouldn't start or join a game since there is a risk for you to get clock penalties.

Käännösohjeet

Mitä voi kääntää?

The collaborative translation system is meant to make it possible to translate Board Game Arena into any language, in order to enable more people to discover and play board games.

For example, if you want to play 'Dragonheart' with your 10-year-old nephew and he doesn't speak English yet, no problem! Just help us translate Board Game Arena into your language!

Every string of text for the main site and for the games interfaces are 'internationalized' and can be translated by the player community. News announcements displayed on the BGA 'Home' and 'News' pages are computer translated first, then the translation can be improved by the community.

Kenen pitäisi kääntää?

This is important: only translate text into a given language if you are a native speaker of that language. When translating a game, the translator should know the game thoroughly and if possible have a box and rulebook of the game in the destination language to check for consistency. Translators should take into account the level of language and the formal/informal pronominal rules usual for the gaming audience of their country.

The source/reference language for translation is English, since the site and games development is made in English.

English is not necessarily the mother tongue of all developers, so fluent (and preferably native) English speakers can submit requests for change to be validated by developers or adminstrators. It is necessary to be very careful when modifying the English texts as this affects the translations in all languages!

Mihin minun pitäisi pyrkiä kun käännän?

When translating, please always stay as close as possible to the original English text in meaning and style. Translating a software interface is not a literary exercise: please do not try to transform Board Game Arena into a book. Practicality, clarity and homogeneity are the most important.

In particular, you should respect the final punctuation (or lack thereof), the specific words capitalization choices and the use of digits instead of words.

Olen korjannut käännöksiä, mutta ne eivät ilmesty korjattuna sivulle?

Translation files are updated nightly, so you just have to wait until tomorrow for your changes to appear on the site.

Kuinka kauan käännöksiä on mahdollista muokata?

The first translations may not be perfect. So they can be modified until they are 'validated'. Validation occurs when a translation has not been modified for 30 days straight. It is then considered stable and valid (golden icon) and can only be changed by 'seasoned' players.

Computer translated text is never validated until it has been proofread by a member of the community and either "confirmed" or "modified". Afterwards it is considered to have a "human" level of trustability like other translations, and will follow the same rules for validation.

Saako käännöksistä jonkinlaisen palkkion?

Kyllä! Jokainen hyväksytty käännös antaa kääntäjälle yhden (1) lahjapisteen. To learn more about gift points, please check our 'Contribute to BGA' page.

Pelien opetusohjelmat

Onko pelisääntöjen opettelemiseen opetusohjelmia?

Kyllä! Joillekin peleille on opetusohjelmia.

Katso lista peleistä, joille on opetusohjelma

Kuinka voin laatia opetusohjelman pelille?

Kuka tahansa voi ehdottaa uutta opetusohjelmaa peliin.

Tällä sivulla kerrotaan, kuinka opetusohjelmaa laaditaan

Mikä tarkoittavat opetusohjelmien tilat ALFA ja BETA?

Kun ehdotat uutta opetusohjelmaa pelille, se aloittaa ALFA-tilasta.
Kaikki, joilla on linkki opetusohjelmaan, voivat arvioida sen, antaa siitä palautetta ja antaa sille arvosanan.

Pelin kehittäjä (tai BGA-järjestelmänvalvoja) voi valita opetusohjelmasi ja siirtää sen BETA-tilaan
A tutorial in BETA is proposed to English speaking players on the Game Page, so it can be tested on real conditions.

Jos opetusohjelmalla on hyvät tilastot, pelin kehittäjä (tai BGA-järjestelmänvalvoja) voi tehdä siitä VIRALLISEN.
VIRALLINEN opetusohjelma näkyy pelisivulla ja on kaikkien pelaajien saatavilla.
Kullakin pelillä voi olla vain yksi VIRALLINEN opetusohjelma.
VIRALLINEN opetusohjelma on myös valmis käännettäväksi.

Miten opetusohjelmia arvioidaan?

Tutorials are evaluated by game developers and BGA admins based on statistics (ex: ratings, ...).

They may compare several tutorials statistics by making them available at the same time: if several BETA tutorials (with/without an OFFICIAL one) are available, players are redirected randomly to one of them.

Miten voin kääntää opetusohjelman?

Opetusohjelmat julkaistaan käännettäväksi noin 24 tuntia sen jälkeen, kun ne ovat saavuttaneet VIRALLISEN tilan.

Myöhemmin ne voidaan kääntää kuten mikä tahansa muu pelin osa.

Miten lahjapisteitä annetaan opetusohjelmien tekijöille?

Kun opetusohjelmastasi tulee virallinen, saat 100 lahjapistettä.
Afterwards, each month, you get 100 additional gift points as long as your tutorial remains the OFFICIAL one.
Jokaisesta pelistä saa enintään 600 pistettä.

Mistä näen opetusohjelmani tilastot?

What can I do if the game adaptation does not allow me to create the right tutorial steps?

Because of bugs or specific choices made by a game adaptation developer, it may be difficult or impossible to:
  • Pelaa uudelleen ilman virheitä
  • pyydä opetusohjelman katsojaa pelaamaan siirto "Jatka"-painikkeen käyttämisen sijaan
  • Lisää opetusohjelman kommentti haluamaasi kohtaan.

In that case, it should be reported as a bug for the game in our bug reporting tool so that the developer can fix it. When reporting the bug, please indicate to the developer to check the tutorials checklist page where the most frequent errors and problematic cases are described.

After the issue has been fixed, you should be able to create a tutorial without problem, by using the replay of a game played after the new game version has been deployed.

Ihmiset Board Game Arenan takana

Kuka sinä olet?

This website has been created on their free time by two IT professionals passionate about board games: Grégory Isabelli and Emmanuel Colin.

BGA is a community website that exists in its current state thanks to the wonderful contributions of passionate players throughout the world.

Täydellinen luettelo avustajista löytyy Team-sivulta.

In 2021, BGA joined the Asmodee Group (read full announcement).

Mistä te oikein saatte elantonne?

After more than 7 years building and managing BGA on their free time, both founders have been working on the website with a full-time salaried position since early 2018. This was really required by the growing audience playing on this website, and has finally been made possible by the continued support of our Premium members through the years (thank you again!).

But actually, there is so much work to do to run BGA that two people working full-time is clearly not enough! This is why we intend to preserve and expand our "community based" approach to give to every interested player the possibility to contribute in order to keep this service running as good and smooth as possible.

Kuinka voin ottaa teihin yhteyttä?

For general questions concerning the website, games or the community, the best way to reach out is by posting a message in our forum. This way, anyone from the community can answer, and everyone benefits from the answer.

To report issues or suggest new features, please use our bugs & suggestions tracker. Please make sure to check if there is already a report dealing with the subject before creating a new report: upvoting existing reports allows us to identify the subjects that are considered as the most important by the community.
