*It's been a rough year.
*For everyone, worldwide. And it still is.
During this strange time we welcomed more and more players from all around the globe, more developers, more publishers and, overall, more games.
We would like to send our warmest thanks to all of our Premium users: you're not only helping support the infrastructure, but also publishers and game designers from anywhere in the world.
Also, we received many emails telling us about how Board Game Arena helped many people stay sane while in lock-down. To play with friends, family, relatives...
*We keep thinking about all of these messages. And we're thankful to all of the people helping us in here.
It's also a curious time, since having close to **5M player accounts **on BGA isn't something easy to manage. But our small team is on it, 24h a day, 7 days a week, to keep things as enjoyable as we can.
We're improving, tinkering, ding-a-ling every part of the website.
It's not perfect, but we try to improve it: next year could bring some new things to BGA, and a lot of improvements are in progress.
We expect you to be able to witness and enjoy all of this next year.
**But for now, we're close to end this one, since tomorrow we'll be in December.
**
As the year was hard, we wanted to thank you for playing on BGA and supporting us.
We have more publishers joining BGA every day, as well as developers.
And we just can't keep the usual Wednesday Release schedule.
Not that we're missing games, but actually the opposite: we have a lot, and we need to release more of them!
That's why we came up with a simple idea: Like an advent calendar, let's make this one an
"OPUS MAGNUM CALENDAR".
Opus Magnum is Latin for Masterpiece. Could also be used as "Work well done".
We pushed our team to the limit, with the help of our developers, to bring you a special FULL month of NEW games.
How ?
Starting from today, you might have seen a new block below the headline blocks on our home page:
A December 2020 Calendar.
Each days of December, you'll be able to click the daily gift that will show you our release of the day.
Yes.
ONE New Game Release EACH DAY. For 31 Days.
That's 31 Games for December.
From classics to novelties, indies to famous titles, you'll have a new game to discover each time the moon rises (on Paris time).
You'll be able to click on the calendar to see the new games, and you'll also be able to find the releases listed in this post.
But we added a small feature on the calendar: if you come each day to click on the daily gift, you'll get a Trophy as a reward depending on how many days you were able to do so in a row.
That's a way for us to know what has been seen, what has been clicked, and a way to know if that kind of idea can be used on front page to offer more things, later.
*So, for now, here are the games released (the list will be updated daily):
1st December release:

Opus Magnum decembro: Rematamos este ano moi ben, xuntos.
Foi un ano duro.
Para todos, en todo o mundo.
E aínda o é.
Durante este estraño tempo recibimos a cada vez máis xogadores de todo o mundo, máis desenvolvedores, máis editores e, en xeral, máis xogos.
Queremos enviar os nosos máis agradecidos a todos os nosos usuarios Premium: non só estás axudando a apoiar a infraestrutura, senón tamén aos editores e deseñadores de xogos de calquera parte do mundo.
Ademais, recibimos moitos correos electrónicos que nos falaban de como o Board Game Arena axudou a moita xente a estar san durante o bloqueo.
Para xogar con amigos, familiares, familiares ...
Seguimos pensando en todas estas mensaxes.
E agradecemos a toda a xente que nos axude aquí.
Tamén é un momento curioso, xa que ter preto de 5 millóns de contas de reprodutor en BGA non é algo doado de xestionar.
Pero o noso pequeno equipo está presente as 24 horas do día, os 7 días da semana, para que as cousas sexan o máis agradables posible.
Estamos mellorando, xogando, ding-a-ling cada parte do sitio web.
Non é perfecto, pero intentamos melloralo: o ano que vén podería traer cousas novas a BGA e hai moitas melloras en curso.
Agardamos que poida asistir e disfrutar de todo isto o próximo ano.
Pero, polo de agora, estamos preto de rematar este, xa que mañá estaremos en decembro.
Como o ano foi duro, queríamos agradecerche por xogar en BGA e apoiarnos.
Cada día temos máis editores que se unen a BGA, así como desenvolvedores.
E simplemente non podemos manter o horario habitual de lanzamento do mércores.
Non é que nos falten xogos, senón o contrario: temos moitos e necesitamos lanzar máis deles.
É por iso que se nos ocorreu unha idea sinxela: como un calendario de adventos, fagamos deste
"CALENDARIO OPUS MAGNUM".
Opus Magnum é o nome latino de Masterpiece.
Tamén se podería usar como "Traballo ben feito".
Levamos ao noso equipo ata o límite, coa axuda dos nosos desenvolvedores, para traerche un mes COMPLETO especial de novos xogos.
Como?
A partir de hoxe pode que vexas un novo bloque debaixo dos bloques de titulares da nosa páxina de inicio:
Un calendario de decembro de 2020.
Todos os días de decembro poderás facer clic no agasallo diario que che amosará o lanzamento do día.
Si.
Lanzamento dun novo xogo CADA DÍA. Durante 31 días.
Son 31 xogos para decembro.
Dende clásicos ata novidades, indies e títulos famosos, terás un novo xogo que descubrir cada vez que sae a lúa (a hora de París).
Poderás facer clic no calendario para ver os novos xogos e tamén poderás atopar as versións que aparecen nesta publicación.
Pero engadimos unha pequena función no calendario: se vés cada día a facer clic no agasallo diario, recibirás un Trofeo como recompensa en función de cantos días foses seguido.
Ese é un xeito de saber o que se viu, o que se fixo clic e un xeito de saber se ese tipo de idea pode usarse na portada para ofrecer máis cousas máis tarde.
Entón, por agora, aquí están os xogos lanzados (a lista actualizarase diariamente):
Lanzamento do 1 de decembro:
Thurn & Taxis, 2006 Spiel des Jahres, deseñado por

Coidado e ...
xoga xusto!
