How to Kick Butt at the Board Game Arena

Home / Board Games / How to Kick Butt at the Board Game Arena

The Board Game Arena was once just an idea shared among gaming enthusiasts all over the planet. Today, it’s one of the largest resources for virtual play and it’s available to anyone with an internet connection. So, here’s what you need to know before joining your first table.

What is the Board Game Arena?

Many people still don’t know this, but the Board Game Arena is the world’s biggest virtual gaming hub. It hosts more than five million players and offers over 270 games every day. You don’t need any special equipment and all the game pieces are provided for you. 

Meanwhile, BGA works on all web browsers and can even be played on your smartphone. It’s also compatible with most gaming systems (XBOX and Playstation primarily). Plus, you get to compete with players from all over the globe despite the language barriers and timezone differences.   

How do you join a game on BGA?

Let's Work Together!

It’s easy to join a game table at the Board Game Arena. There are very few criteria and players can even customize many of their playing options. You simply go to the homepage and click “Start Playing Now” to select your favorite virtual board game. Users are required to register for an account before playing, but that’s basically just for scorekeeping. 

Does it cost anything to play at the Board Game Arena?

Luckily for us all, the BGA offers free access to hundreds of popular board games. That means you don’t have to pay a thing to start playing with friends, family, or strangers. However, there’s still the option to buy a physical version of the games you play from their online store. So, at least show up with a few pennies in your pocket because they’ve got lots of stuff.

How do I win more board games on BGA?

Winning lots of games at the Board Game Arena can be tough, at least at first. That’s because there are many unique hurdles to climb that aren’t necessarily present when you play board games in person. For example:

  • You’re competing against the entire world, which means the odds of you winning every game are slim.
  • You lose some of your “edge” when you step away from a game. So, try not to sign up for turn-based games if you can’t stay focused.
  • You may get caught up playing an unfamiliar game because of the sheer number of players online at any given moment.

So, if you want to win more board games on BGA, start by understanding what you’re up against. You may not turn into a board game professional or begin kicking butt overnight, but at least you’ve got free access to all the practice you want until then.

The 5 most popular games on the Board Game Arena

Start off on the right foot at BGA by joining one of these hot board games:

  1. Expedition: North West Passage (up to 4 players)
  2. Caylus (up to 5 players)
  3. Red7 (up to 4 players)
