As a Renaissance banker, you will finance kings or republics, sponsor voyages of discovery, join secret cabals, or unleash jihads and inquisitions. Your choices determine whether Europe is elevated into the bright modern era or remains festering in dark feudalism.
Pax Renaissance is a card drafting and tableau building game, in which you take cards in order to form rows in the East and West (or simply use them directly as a one-time effect), which you can later activate for several effects. You do these things in order to spread your influence over Europe and nearby regions, take concessions around trade routes (to likely gain money) or influence places, move armies to make war campaigns, fund rebellions, gain political and religious renown, all in order to achieve one or more of the 4 winning conditions Pax Renaissance has.
As in other Pax games, you can acquire cards in a market, sell them out of the game, or play them into your tableau. You can also stimulate the economy by running trade fairs and trading voyages for Oriental goods.
It is a fantastic and complex game, yet not so deeply hard to grasp and play. It has a tremendous richness of choices, options, and historical bits, which, all together, provide a tasty and fulfilling experience.

...and you are gonna move a lot of tiles and animal-shaped meeples.
Puzzling and animal breeding: Designer Uwe Rosenberg is at his best!
New York Zoo is what is called a polyomino puzzle game. The idea is that you want to be the first player to have their zoo board filled with multiform Tetris-like puzzle pieces, each representing a cage or enclosure.
Build animal enclosures, introduce new animals, and raise their offspring. The game play is straight forward as you have only two turn options: puzzle a new enclosure tile into your zoo area or gain new animals to populate your animal enclosures. But be sure to time your actions well since you want your zoo to participate in as many animal breedings as possible.
You start with a zoo board and two animals, which are placed in the "indoor enclosures" on the left side of the board.
After that, players take turns moving the elephant on the center board with one to four (or three based on your player count) squares to grab a tile with an outdoor enclosure or two animals for your zoo.
If you choose to grab an outdoor enclosure, you will need to place it in your zoo and add an animal that comes from your indoor cage or from one of the other enclosure tiles in your zoo. If you take animals, you can place them in one of your pens or on one of the cages on your board. It is important to note that each outdoor enclosure tile can only contain one type of animal.
As the elephant walks around the center board, it also passes the so-called breeding areas. When this happens, animals can multiply, but only when there are two of the same on a field tile, a third is added.
Once one of your areas is full of animals, move it from your board back to the supply, keep one in an indoor enclosure if you wish, and get an attraction tile to fill up your zoo faster. The game ends when the first player completely fills their zoo with accommodation and attraction tiles. He or she is the winner.
It is as simple as that. And it is brilliant.

Discard the best cards from your hand in order to score the least points.
To win, you will need to have the least points at the end of the game. You can do this by discarding the highest cards OR keeping only those of the same suit.
Mojo is an abstract family game about hand management and matching. The idea is that players will play their cards trying to have the least value in their hands when the round is over and points equal to the numbers on the cards. However, only one card of each color scores, the highest value. The players who gets down to 3 cards (or 2 cards, in 2p games) continue their gameplay by placing these 3 cards on the table and revealing them one by one when it is their turn.
Once someone is out of cards or when someone reveals their 3rd card, the round is over and players count their points. The person who was out of cards (or who revealed the 3rd card, if no one was out of cards) gets the Mojo card, which carries a danger: if the person who has this card is not the person with the lowest score for the round, they will get +10 points added to their total. The game ends in the round when someone has 50+ points, and the person with the lowest score is the winner!
Do you have the Mojo card? Be good or you may regret it!

Adapt in an ever-changing ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. (Sounds familiar, right?)
Evolution relies on good management of resources and the multiple characteristics of the species in our possession. A game is divided into several rounds, each of which is divided into 3 stages. First, all players secretly decide on the potential food available in the dedicated space. The strategy starts now, as the food pool is shared by all players... so whoever eats first (in turn order) has a clear advantage. Once this choice has been made, players are invited to select the cards of their choice in order to perfect the species they own, design new ones, increase populations, or even increase the size (and therefore the defence) of a species. A large number of cards are available, each with its own criteria.
Once this stage is complete, each player's population, defences, and characteristics are laid out in front of him. The available food is revealed, and each player has access to it in turn order, with a few subtleties if the cards played beforehand suggest so.
The round ends as soon as all the animals have been fed, or there is simply no food left... all animals without food perish. Food points acquired are accumulated and added up for each player. They are then taken into account at the end of the game.
Once all the rounds have been completed, the points are tallied. They take into account the food ingested, whatever the diet, the characteristics of the species and the number of species still alive.
At the beginning, the difficulties are even less, as the herbivores feed in a totally passive way, and the impact on the rest of the players is minimal. A little gumption is enough to win the game by multiplying your populations while keeping an eye on available food.
The game becomes progressively more difficult with the addition of carnivores... which, in turn, inevitably have an impact on the other players. Carnivores, the offspring of transformed herbivores, require meat, and will therefore aggressively attack neighboring populations. A definite asset, but one to be handled with great care. Indeed, prey must be smaller and unguarded, and the latter have many strategies at their disposal to avoid attack- but in the case of a successful aggression, the attacked player quickly finds himself deprived of a large part of his population!
Evolution packs a surprising amount of variety for a game with simple rules. The variety comes from the synergies between the trait cards and from the different personalities at the table. Some players thrive on creating Carnivores to wreak havoc on their fellow players. Others prefer to stay protected and mind their own business. Evolution encourages both play styles by giving each of them multiple paths to victory. And it is the mix of play styles at the table that ultimately determines the ecosystem in which the players are adapting. So gather your friends and see who can best adapt to the changing world around them.
This game won many awards, such as the Golden Geek, and that is a solid reason for you to try it right now if you have not played yet. Like usual, click the link below:

Play fair!
EVOLUTION: Trúfnete si na víťazstvo?
Prispôsobte sa neustále sa meniacemu ekosystému, kde je nedostatok potravy a číhajú predátori. (Znie to povedome, však?)
Evolution (Evolúcia) sa opiera o dobré hospodárenie so zdrojmi a mnohoraké charakteristiky druhov, ktoré vlastníme. Hra je rozdelená do niekoľkých kôl, z ktorých každé je rozdelené do 3 etáp. Najprv všetci hráči tajne rozhodnú o potenciálnom jedle dostupnom vo vyhradenom priestore. Stratégia začína teraz, pretože zásobáreň jedla je zdieľaná všetkými hráčmi... takže kto zje prvý (v poradí), má jasnú výhodu. Po vykonaní tejto voľby sú hráči vyzvaní, aby si vybrali karty podľa vlastného výberu, aby zdokonalili druh, ktorý vlastnia, navrhli nové, zvýšili populáciu alebo dokonca zvýšili veľkosť (a tým aj obranu) druhu. K dispozícii je veľké množstvo kariet, z ktorých každá má svoje vlastné kritériá.
Po dokončení tejto fázy sa pred každým hráčom vyloží populácia, obrana a vlastnosti. Dostupné jedlo je odhalené a každý hráč k nemu má prístup v poradí, s niekoľkými drobnosťami, ak to vopred zahrané karty naznačujú.
Kolo končí, akonáhle sú všetky zvieratá nakŕmené, alebo jednoducho nezostane žiadne jedlo... všetky zvieratá bez jedla zahynú. Získané body za jedlo sa hromadia a sčítavajú pre každého hráča. Tie sa potom berú do úvahy na konci hry.
Po dokončení všetkých kôl sa body spočítajú. Berú do úvahy prijímanú potravu, bez ohľadu na potravu, vlastnosti druhu a počet ešte žijúcich druhov.
Na začiatku sú ťažkosti ešte menšie, keďže bylinožravce sa živia úplne pasívnym spôsobom a dopad na ostatných hráčov je minimálny. Trochu šikovnosti stačí na to, aby ste vyhrali hru tým, že znásobíte svoju populáciu a zároveň budete dávať pozor na dostupné jedlo.
Hra sa postupne stáva ťažšou s pribúdajúcimi mäsožravcami... ktoré majú zase nevyhnutne vplyv na ostatných hráčov. Mäsožravce, potomkovia transformovaných bylinožravcov, vyžadujú mäso, a preto agresívne útočia na susedné populácie. Jednoznačný prínos, s ktorým sa však musí zaobchádzať veľmi opatrne. Korisť musí byť menšia a nestrážená a tá má k dispozícii mnoho stratégií, ako sa vyhnúť útoku – ale v prípade úspešnej agresie sa napadnutý hráč rýchlo ocitne pripravený o veľkú časť svojej populácie!
Evolution ponúka prekvapivé množstvo rozmanitosti pre hru s jednoduchými pravidlami. Rozmanitosť pochádza zo synergie medzi kartami vlastností a z rôznych osobností pri stole. Niektorým hráčom sa darí vytvárať mäsožravce, aby spôsobili zmätok svojim kolegom. Iní radšej ostanú chránení a starajú sa o svoje veci. Evolúcia podporuje oba herné štýly tým, že každému z nich poskytuje viacero ciest k víťazstvu. A práve mix herných štýlov pri stole v konečnom dôsledku určuje ekosystém, v ktorom sa hráči prispôsobujú. Zhromaždite teda svojich priateľov a zistite, kto sa dokáže najlepšie prispôsobiť meniacemu sa svetu okolo nich.
Táto hra získala mnoho ocenení, ako napríklad Golden Geek, a to je pádny dôvod, aby ste si ju hneď teraz vyskúšali, ak ste ju ešte nehrali. Ako obvykle, kliknite na odkaz nižšie:

108 cards.
4 colors with values from 1 to 4.
In turn, each player draws a visible or hidden card and places it in their playing area.
When a pile is empty, the game stops and the points are counted.
Each player tries to score points by forming colored areas of at least 5 adjacent cards.
But players also try to respect the way of grouping the cards.
Otherwise they will lose points.
- a "4" must be in a group of exactly four "4s"
- a "3" must be in a group of exactly three "3s"
- a "2" must be in a group of exactly two "2s"
- a "1" must not be in contact with any other "1"
Butterflies present on certain cards earn a point if they are adjacent to a card of their color.
That's it. Simple. But beautiful. And you do not have to handle the scoring on Board Game Arena! ;)

FLOWERS: Sily!
108 kariet.
4 farby s hodnotami od 1 do 4.
Každý hráč si potiahne viditeľnú alebo skrytú kartu a umiestni ju na svoju hraciu plochu.
Keď je kôpka prázdna, hra sa zastaví a spočítajú sa body.
Každý hráč sa snaží získať body vytvorením farebných plôch z aspoň 5 susedných kariet.
Hráči sa však snažia rešpektovať aj spôsob zoskupovania kariet.
Inak prídu o body.
- "4" musí byť v skupine presne štyroch "4"
- "3" musí byť v skupine presne troch "3"
- "2" musí byť v skupine presne dvoch "2"
- "1" nesmie byť v kontakte so žiadnou inou "1"
Motýle prítomné na určitých kartách získavajú bod, ak susedia s kartou ich farby.
To je všetko. Jednoduché. Ale krásne. A na Board Game Aréne sa navyše nemusíte starať o bodovanie! ;)

2212: Ginkgo Biloba, the oldest and strongest tree in the world, has become the symbol of a new method for building cities in symbiosis with nature. Humans have exhausted the resources that the Earth offered them, and humanity must now develop cities that maintain a delicate balance between resource production and consumption. Habitable space is scarce, however, and mankind must now face the challenge of building ever upwards. To develop this new type of city, you will gather a team of experts around you, and try to become the best urban planner for Ginkgopolis.
In Ginkgopolis, the city tiles come in three colors: yellow, which provides victory points; red, which provides resources; and blue, which provides new city tiles. Some tiles start in play, and they are surrounded by letter markers that show where new tiles can be placed.
Begin with three Character cards which grant you starting resources and bonuses to power your game actions. On a turn, players choose a Construction or Urbanization card from their hand simultaneously. Players reveal these cards, adding new tiles to the border of the city in the appropriate location or placing tiles on top of existing tiles. Each card in your hand that you do not play is passed on to your left-hand neighbor, so keep in mind how your play might set up theirs!
When you build over a tile, you add its “power" card to your tableau, which provides you additional abilities during the game, allowing you to scale up your building and point-scoring efforts.
Build upwards as well as outwards to control the most buildings in a future eco-city!

Until then, take care and play fair!
GING... GINGKO... GINKGOPOLIS, je to všetko o urbansi... urbanistickej distópii!
2212: Ginkgo Biloba, najstarší a najsilnejší strom na svete, sa stal symbolom novej metódy budovania miest v symbióze s prírodou. Ľudia vyčerpali zdroje, ktoré im Zem ponúkala, a ľudstvo teraz musí vybudovať mestá, ktoré udržia jemnú rovnováhu medzi produkciou a spotrebou zdrojov. Obytný priestor je však vzácny a ľudstvo teraz musí čeliť výzve stavať stále nahor. Na rozvoj tohto nového typu mesta zhromaždíte okolo seba tím odborníkov a pokúsite sa stať najlepším urbanistom pre Ginkgopolis.
V Ginkgopolis sú mestské dlaždice v troch farbách: žltá, ktorá poskytuje víťazné body; červená, ktorá poskytuje zdroje; a modrá, ktorá poskytuje nové mestské dlaždice. Niektoré začínajúce dlaždice sú obklopené značkami písmen, ktoré ukazujú, kam je možné umiestniť nové dlaždice.
Začnite s tromi kartami postáv, ktoré vám poskytujú počiatočné zdroje a bonusy na posilnenie vašich herných akcií. Počas ťahu si všetci hráči súčasne vyberú zo svojej ruky kartu Stavba alebo Urbanizácia. Hráči odhaľujú tieto karty, pridávajú nové dlaždice na hranicu mesta na príslušnom mieste alebo kladú dlaždice na existujúce dlaždice. Každá karta vo vašej ruke, ktorú nehráte, sa odovzdá vášmu ľavému susedovi, takže majte na pamäti, ako ich môže vaša hra ovplyvniť!
Keď staviate cez dlaždicu, pridáte na svoju tablo jej „silovú“ kartu, ktorá vám počas hry poskytuje ďalšie schopnosti, čo vám umožní zväčšiť vaše budovanie a získavanie bodov.
Stavajte smerom nahor aj smerom von, aby ste ovládali čo najviac budov v budúcom eko-meste!
Samozrejme, že ste na to zvedaví! Našťastie, ak ste ju nikdy nehrali, môžete si ju hneď teraz vyskúšať vo svojom prehliadači a naučiť sa ju prostredníctvom skvelého interaktívneho návodu . Alebo kliknite na odkaz nižšie na stránku s nastaveniami a nájdite svojich spoluhráčov a stôl:

Aká bude naša ďalšia?
Na hádanie máte týždeň.
Dovtedy sa opatrujte a hrajte fér!
In Looot, you need to gather resources and capture buildings to develop your fjord. Fill your longships and complete your construction sites in order to rack up your victory points. Store up the most riches, and you will be crowned Jarl of the Vikings!
Seeing the sails of your proud longships on the horizon, the inhabitants of this land bravely fled. Seize the many goods and buildings left almost defenseless, and take them back to your fjord to become the next Viking king!
CHOOSE A SQUARE
Choose a square adjacent to another Viking or drakkar.
PLACE YOUR VIKING
Place your Viking on the selected square, then take the resource corresponding to your square from the reserve. If you meet the conditions for taking a building, you can also capture it.
ARRANGE YOUR TREASURES IN YOUR FJORD
Arrange your treasures on your land to complete objectives and score the most points.

The physical version release is estimated for MAY 2024. But the publisher Gigamic was kind enough to release the game on Board Game Arena first for you to discover and enjoy it before it hits the shelves of your favorite shops!
We would love to also thank Charles Chevallier (Abyss) and Laurent Escoffier, the game designers, for their authorization to bring the game to our platform.
The game adaptation has been done by dahrf and he deserves some love for his overall work done here: you can play this game from any web-enabled devices, thanks to him.
And that's it for today!
We have plenty of viking-based games available on BGA now. Which one will get your favor?
Let us know in the comments!
Until next week, as always,
Take care and play fair!
LOOOT: Vikingovia na palube! (Zahrajte si ju pred oficiálnym vydaním.)
V hre Looot musíte zbierať zdroje a dobyť budovy, aby ste mohli rozvíjať svoj fjord. Naplňte svoje lode a dokončite stavenisko, aby ste nazbierali víťazné body. Uložte si najväčšie bohatstvo a budete korunovaný za Jarla Vikingov!
Obyvatelia tejto krajiny, vidiac na obzore plachty vašich hrdých dlhých lodí, statočne utiekli. Zmocnite sa množstva tovaru a budov, ktoré zostali takmer bezbranné, a vezmite ich späť do svojho fjordu, aby ste sa stali ďalším vikingským kráľom!
VYBERTE SI POLE
Vyberte si pole susediace s iným Vikingom alebo drakkarom.
UMIESTNITE SVOJHO VIKINGA
Umiestnite svojho Vikinga na vybrané políčko a potom si z rezervy vezmite zdroj zodpovedajúci vášmu políčku. Ak spĺňate podmienky na prevzatie budovy, môžete ju aj dobyť.
USPORIADAJTE SI SVOJE POKLADY VO SVOJOM FJORDE
Usporiadajte svoje poklady na svojom pozemku, aby ste splnili ciele a získali čo najviac bodov.
Atmosféra plienenia Vikingov v hre so skvelou znovuhrateľnosťou vďaka modulárnej doske!
Je jednoduchá, brilantná a všetko, na čom záleží, je vaša stratégia! Vyskúšajte si ju teraz kliknutím na tento odkaz:

Vydanie fyzickej verzie sa odhaduje na MÁJ 2024. Ale vydavateľ Gigamic bol taký láskavý, že hru vydal najskôr na Board Game Aréne aby ste ju mohli objaviť a užiť si ju ešte predtým, ako sa dostane na pulty vašich obľúbených obchodov!
Radi by sme tiež poďakovali Charlesovi Chevallierovi (Abyss) a Laurentovi Escoffierovi, herným dizajnérom, za ich povolenie uviesť hru na BGA.
Hru adaptoval dahrf a zaslúži si vďaku za prácu, ktorú vykonal: vďaka nemu môžete hrať túto hru z akéhokoľvek zariadenia s podporou webu.
A to je na dnes všetko!
Na BGA máme teraz k dispozícii množstvo vikingských hier. Ktorá si získa vašu priazeň?
Dajte nám vedieť v komentároch!
Do budúceho týždňa, ako vždy,
Dávajte na seba pozor a hrajte fér!
Congratulations to all participants and winners from the previous season!
But wait, what exactly is "the Arena?"
The Arena is the competitive mode on BGA. If you master a game and want to play it competitively, this is THE mode to use, so you can challenge the best players and get the most experience points.
The Arena is organized in seasons of 3 months each. Achievements are awarded to the best players at the end of each season.
To play in the Arena: select "Play" and then choose "Arena" instead of "Simple game."
Arena format and Gurus
In the previous seasons, it was you (more exactly the gurus) who chose the game formats for the Arena: player number, options used, ...
We are very happy to see that this way of doing things contributed to making the Arena more popular: thank you to all gurus for their smart suggestions and their votes!
Rules updates
No Arena rules are changing this season. It does not mean we are 100% satisfied with how the Arena is running, but you seem to appreciate the current rules so we want to keep them as they are for now.
Season 17 is NOW Launched.
The new Arena is now open for its new season.
Some Explanation About: Relegations
At the end of each season, after winners have been awarded, you are relegated.
Some custom relegation rules may have been applied to games for some reason (ex: we decided to update the number of leagues), but in general here is what happens:
- For games with 6 or 5 different leagues, all players are decreased by 3 leagues.
- For games with 4 different leagues, all players are decreased by 2 leagues.
- For games with 2 or 3 different leagues, all players are decreased by 1 league.
- For all games and all leagues, your number of Arena points is reset to 1, and your AES ("Arena Elo") is reset to 1500.
It's up to you to find the way to the elite!
May the odds be ever in your favor!
You'll find soon below the updated options for each game for this new arena season
17. sezóna Arény: Jar kvitnúcich bitiek!
Všetkým účastníkom a víťazom z predchádzajúcej sezóny srdečne blahoželáme!
Ale počkať, čo presne je to tá "Aréna?"
Aréna je súťažný režim na BGA. Ak ovládate hru a chcete ju hrať súťažne, toto je režim, ktorý môžete použiť, takže môžete vyzvať najlepších hráčov a získať čo najviac skúsenostných bodov.
Aréna je organizovaná v sezónach po 3 mesiace. Najlepší hráči na konci každej sezóny získajú ocenenia.
Ak chcete hrať v Aréne: vyberte „Hrať“ a potom vyberte „Aréna“ namiesto „Bežná hra“.
Prečítajte si viac o režime Aréna
Formát Arény a guruovia
V predchádzajúcich sezónach ste to boli vy (presnejšie guruovia), kto si vybral herné formáty pre Arénu: počet hráčov , použité možnosti, ...
Sme veľmi radi, že to prispelo k zvýšeniu popularity Arény: ďakujeme všetkým guruom za ich skvelé návrhy a hlasy!
Aktualizácie pravidiel
V tejto sezóne sa nemenia žiadne pravidlá Arény. Neznamená to, že sme na 100% spokojní s jej chodom, ale zdá sa, že oceňujete súčasné pravidlá, takže ich chceme zatiaľ zachovať tak, ako sú.
17. sezóna je ODTERAZ spustená.
Nová Aréna je teraz otvorená na novú sezónu.
Niekoľko vysvetlení: Zostupy
Na konci každej sezóny, po ocenení víťazov, zostúpite.
Niektoré vlastné pravidlá zostupu mohli byť z nejakého dôvodu aplikované na hry (napr.: rozhodli sme sa aktualizovať počet líg), ale vo všeobecnosti sa stane toto:
- Pri hrách so 6 alebo 5 rôznymi ligami sú všetci hráči znížení o 3 ligy.
- Pre hry so 4 rôznymi ligami sú všetci hráči znížení o 2 ligy.
- Pri hrách s 2 alebo 3 rôznymi ligami sú všetci hráči znížení o 1 ligu.
- Pre všetky hry a všetky ligy sa váš počet bodov v Aréne nastaví na 1 a váš AES ("Aréna Elo") sa nastaví na 1500.
Je na vás, aby ste sa prebojovali medzi elitu!
Nech sú šance vždy vo váš prospech!
Čoskoro nižšie nájdete aktualizované možnosti pre každú hru pre túto novú sezónu
You know the road to take, but can not remember the name of the places to go? This one is for you, confused tourists.
In Word Traveler, you and your friends are tourists who are checking out the sights of a new city. Each player has their own secret map of locations that they want to visit, and they will need help from the other players to reach them.
Taking turns playing the traveler and the locals, you all work together to visit as many of these locations as possible, ideally collecting all of the golden souvenirs that you find.
You know only a few words of the local language, however, so the locals- that is, the other players- will do their best to interpret your clues to help get you where you want to go...without getting lost in translation.
It is a very fun game for people who love to scratch their head on how to communicate an idea to others. We had a blast playing it, and a lot of laughs.
So, gather your friends, turn on your mic, and try to find the place your partners wants to go!
It's all available here, in many languages, and it's also a good way to learn new ones:

We should thank the Office Dog publishing team, as well as Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance for their authorization to adapt this amazing communication game to Board Game Arena. And let's not forget the work beautifully done by LeSteffen for adapting, developing and bringing this game live to your desktop!
That's it for today.
Don't get lost in the next releases: there's a lot of novelties coming your way!
Until Wednesday for our WRT (Wednesday Release Time),
Take care, and... Play fair!
Kudy? Tudy!: Vydajte sa na cestu
Poznáte cestu, ktorou sa vydať, ale neviete si spomenúť na názvy miest, kam ísť? Toto je pre vás, zmätených turistov.
V hre Kudy? Tudy! (Word Traveler) ste vy a vaši priatelia turisti, ktorí si prezerajú pamiatky nového mesta. Každý hráč má svoju vlastnú tajnú mapu miest, ktoré chce navštíviť, a aby sa k nim dostal, bude potrebovať pomoc od ostatných hráčov.
Striedavo sa hráte na cestovateľa a miestnych obyvateľov a všetci spoločne pracujete na tom, aby ste navštívili čo najviac týchto miest, v ideálnom prípade zbierate všetky zlaté suveníry, ktoré nájdete.
Poznáte však len pár slov miestneho jazyka, takže miestni obyvatelia – teda ostatní hráči – urobia všetko pre to, aby interpretovali vaše stopy, aby vám pomohli dostať sa tam, kam chcete... bez toho, aby ste sa stratili v preklade.
Je to veľmi zábavná hra pre ľudí, ktorí si radi lámu hlavu nad tým, ako sprostredkovať nápad ostatným. My sme si hru užili a veľa sme sa pri nej nasmiali.
Zhromaždite priateľov, zapnite mikrofón a pokúste sa nájsť miesto, kam chcú vaši partneri ísť!
Hra je dostupná v mnohých jazykoch a jej hranie je dobrý spôsob, ako sa naučiť nové:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=wordtraveler
Mali by sme poďakovať tímu vydavateľstva Office Dog, ako aj Thomasovi Dagenais-Lespérancemu za ich autorizáciu priniesť túto úžasnú komunikačnú hru na Board Game Arénu. A nezabudnime na prácu, ktorú odviedol LeSteffen pri adaptácii, vývoji a uvedení tejto hry na váš počítač!
To je na dnes všetko.
Nestraťte sa v ďalších vydaniach: do cesty vám prichádza množstvo noviniek!
Vidíme sa v stredu pri novom vydaní.
Dávajte na seba pozor a... Hrajte fér!
