This is the end of Summer time. At least for our part of the globe.
For many people, the moment to get back to their work, projects, and more "daily stuff" that will happen.
The Summer of Games 2021 calendar also comes to an end. Today is the last day and the last game release for it.
But not the least!
After 2 months of daily releases (you can find more details on this topic https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 10&t=21619, we wanted to end this special event on a really specific title:
INSERT, by the well-known game designer Bruno Cathala.
INSERT is a rare exception on BGA: it is a board game that hasn't been published yet in the real world!
It is a 2 player abstract game that works wonderfully if you are in love with that kind of game.
How does it play? Easily.
-
The 1st player places a ring of his own color on the board, wherever he wants to.
-
On this space, a line gives the direction the opponent must play on if possible.
-
Repeat.
But when you INSERT one or more of your rings between two of your opponent's, you turn them back.
The goal of the game being to line up 5 of your rings vertically, horizontally or diaggonally.
Why not take a look at the game right now by clicking this link?

Simple. But brilliant.
Note that you can go through an interactive TUTORIAL of the game (new feature on BGA) to learn how to play it easily, by clicking right here Start the tutorial now.
And if you want to know more about the game history on Bruno's blog right here, here is the link, **in French **(http://www.brunocathala.com/insert-toute-une-histoire/)
The game has been developed by the BGA Team, and we would like to thank Bruno Cathala for this.
And this game will close the Summer of Games calendar.
62 games released and millions played.
The goal for this calendar was to release many games that were waiting to be finalized.
And we wanted to thank the players that came daily on BGA to click on it, so we granted some very special and unique Achievement trophies to them. Useless but unique. A bit of statistics? Yes!
On 62 games released daily:
-
103069 players have opened at least one game (1st award - Gold Digger with a plastic shovel)
-
4204 players have opened 20 in a row (2nd award - I built a Sandcastle!)
-
1855 players have opened 40 in a row (3rd award - A Sandcastle to rule them all!)
-
765 players have an unbroken streak and can still make it to the last award (Extreme GameDozer: gotta dig them all!) And among them, 678 have gotten it already when we are writing this.
The last one is so rare that it will probably gives you chills when you meet another player with it.
Ah, prestige...
**Don't hesitate to share with us which game you liked or not, right here in the comments. 😉
**
So today is the last day for you to get, at least, the plastic shovel.
We will end the calendar and it will disappear from the front page until there is another special event (who said Christmas?).
The good thing is that although this is the end of the calendar, it does not mean we will stop releasing more games.
*You simply can't imagine what is coming soon to BGA, and we are really excited about it.
That's why we are preparing a LIVE event.
A very special one. First time it happens on BGA:
Board Game Arena LIVE with the TEAM!
Yes, you read it right.
MONDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER, 9PM (Paris Time), you'll be able to ask ANY questions you can have about BGA directly to one of the founders.
We will broadcast it for nearly 2 hours live on Twitch, Facebook and Youtube, and you'll be able to post your questions on the chatrooms.
You'll probably discover new things and can post any questions you ever had. The video feed will be available on BGA's frontpage and on our social networks.
So be ready for this special event next week!
Greg and Ian will be waiting for you next Monday.
And that's it for the moment.
Take care, play well, and if you are on the road home, please drive as safely as possible.
We will give you some more updates really soon.
Really.
And thank you for your support.
INSERTO de Bruno Cathala: sempre fai sol na BGA
Este é o final do verán.
Polo menos pola nosa parte do mundo.
Para moita xente, o momento de volver ao seu traballo, proxectos e máis "cousas diarias" que sucederán.
Tamén remata o calendario Summer of Games 2021.
Hoxe é o último día e o último lanzamento de xogo.
Pero non o menos importante!
Despois de 2 meses de lanzamentos diarios (podes atopar máis detalles sobre este tema https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto~...~10&t=21619, quixemos rematar este evento especial cun título moi concreto:
INSERT, do coñecido deseñador de xogos Bruno Cathala.
INSERT é unha rara excepción en BGA: é un xogo de mesa que aínda non se publicou no mundo real.
É un xogo abstracto para 2 xogadores que funciona de marabilla se estás namorado dese tipo de xogos.
Como se xoga?
Fácilmente.
1) O primeiro xogador coloca un anel da súa propia cor no taboleiro, onde queira.
2) Neste espazo, unha liña dá a dirección que debe xogar o opoñente se é posible.
3) Repita.
Pero cando INSERTAS un ou máis dos teus aneis entre dous dos do teu adversario, devólvesos.
O obxectivo do xogo é aliñar 5 dos teus aneis en vertical, horizontal ou diagonal.
Por que non botas unha ollada ao xogo facendo clic nesta ligazón?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=insert
Sinxelo.
Pero brillante.
Ten en conta que podes percorrer un TUTORIAL interactivo do xogo (nova función en BGA) para aprender a xogalo facilmente facendo clic aquí Comeza agora o titorial.
E se queres saber máis sobre a historia do xogo no blog de Bruno aquí, aquí tes a ligazón, en francés ( http://www.brunocathala.com/insert-toute-une-histoire/ )
O xogo foi desenvolvido polo equipo BGA e queremos agradecerlle a Bruno Cathala isto.
E este xogo pechará o calendario Summer of Games.
Lanzáronse 62 xogos e xogáronse millóns.
O obxectivo deste calendario era lanzar moitos xogos que estaban esperando para ser finalizados.
E quixemos agradecer aos xogadores que acudían a diario a BGA que fixeran clic nel, polo que lles outorgamos uns trofeos de logro moi especiais e únicos.
Inútil pero único.
Un pouco de estatísticas?
¡Si!
En 62 xogos lanzados a diario:
- 103069 xogadores abriron polo menos un xogo (1o premio - Buscador de ouro cunha pa de plástico)
- 4204 xogadores abriron 20 seguidos (2o premio - ¡Construín un castelo de area!)
- 1855 xogadores abriron 40 seguidos (3o premio - ¡Un castelo de area para gobernalos!)
- 765 xogadores teñen unha racha ininterrompida e aínda poden chegar ao último premio (Extreme GameDozer: ¡hai que cavalos todos!) E entre eles, 678 xa o conseguiron cando escribimos isto.
O último é tan raro que probablemente che dea escalofríos cando te atopes con outro xogador.
Ah, prestixio ...
Non dubide en compartir connosco o xogo que lle gustou ou non, aquí mesmo nos comentarios.
Así que hoxe é o último día para que obteñas, polo menos, a pa de plástico.
Remataremos o calendario e desaparecerá da portada ata que haxa outro evento especial (quen dixo o Nadal?).
O bo é que, aínda que este é o final do calendario, non significa que deixaremos de lanzar máis xogos.
Simplemente non podes imaxinar o que chegará pronto a BGA e estamos moi entusiasmados con iso.
Por iso estamos a preparar un evento EN DIRECTO.
Un moi especial.
A primeira vez que ocorre en BGA:
Board Game Arena EN DIRECTO co EQUIPO!
Si, o liches ben.
LUNS 6 DE SETEMBRO, 21:00 (hora de París), poderás facer CALQUERA dúbida sobre BGA directamente a un dos fundadores.
Emitirémolo durante case 2 horas en directo en Twitch, Facebook e Youtube e poderás publicar as túas preguntas nas salas de chat.
Probablemente descubra cousas novas e poida publicar calquera dúbida que tivese.
O feed de vídeo estará dispoñible na páxina principal de BGA e nas nosas redes sociais.
Así que prepárate para este evento especial a próxima semana.
Greg e Ian estarán agardando por ti o vindeiro luns.
E xa está polo momento.
Teña coidado, xogue ben e, se está de camiño a casa, conduza o máis seguro posible.
En breve darémosche algunhas actualizacións máis.
De verdade.
E grazas polo teu apoio.
