Online Board game
Online Board game
The world's #1 platform for playing board games online. Play hundreds of board games from your browser for free.
I just wanted to share this amazing platform for playing board games online.
It has a huge selection of games, with good translations to many languages.
Make sure to check out Yucata.de too. They have about 200 games with some overlaps with BGA. The site UI takes some getting used to and matchmaking is not as well featured as BGA's but the in-game UI is actually very nice once you grok it and it has an excellent undo/replay/log system.
Some of my Yucata favorites:
- Bonfire
- Carpe Diem
- Cartographers (also on BGA)
- Fields of Arle
- Grand Austria Hotel
- Lorenzo Il Magnifico
- Mottainai
- Mountain Goats (also on BGA)
- Mystic Vale
- Newton
- Rajas of the Ganges
- Rajas Dice
- Red Cathedral
- Renature
- Taverns of Tiefenthal
And I am currently practicing Skymines.
Interesting, never heard of this website before! Thanks for sharing!
I love bga, I should really be more active on there instead of doom scrolling.
But playing against strangers is scary 😄
Btw my username on bga is Marcel80
Hi I'm a stranger let me touch your face
Love the concept; are they open source? Would love to get gaming further away from the big companies. If it's "free" now, how are users paying for it, with data? Ads? We've seen a well documented history of enshittification so before I dump time into a platform that's my 1a question.
In general, no the site is not open source. There are however some games whose implementation is public under various licenses. A few examples:

I want to use this, but I don't want to play without my wife and you need to pay to play with someone who has the same IP address as you. No way I'm paying them just to try it out. I get why they do it, but it's complete and utter BS from my perspective since I want to play these games to try them out before buying.
Maybe one of you could use a VPN or something
Alternatively, play off of mobile data, or the hotspot feature drawing off of mobile data.
Seems fun but ran like crap on my phone just trying to browse games.
It's definitely a better experience on desktop.
Interesting but I don't see any dungeon crawlers.
Hm, yeah I can't think of any from the top of my head. I guess the site's format works best for euros and the audience seems to be geared towards that too.
