Board Game Arena-grunder
Vad är Board Game Arena?
What, you don't know yet? Let's bring you up to speed! Board Game Arena (BGA) is an online board games platform.
With BGA, you can play online, either in real time or turn based, against players from around the whole world. A selection of various board games and card games are available. In order to play, the only thing you need is your browser!

Vad betyder "real-time play"?
When playing a real-time game, your opponents are connected to the game platform during the entire game. They can see your moves and react to them immediately - as is the case in the real world.
Vad betyder "turn-based play"?
When playing a turn-based game, players do not need to be connected all the time. They leave and come back when it's their turn to play. Once all your opponents have completed their moves you are notified that it is your turn (by email or on your next visit to the site). Then you can access this game, take your turn, and the process repeats for the next player.
Vad behöver jag för att spela?
Your browser... and that's all! Board Game Arena does not require anything else. This way, you can play from any device, anywhere, anytime!
However, we are using the latest technologies available for the web. For this reason, you should play with the most up to date web browsers to enjoy an optimal BGA experience.
För bästa spelupplevelsen rekommenderar vi följande webbläsare:

Spelar
Hur startar jag ett nytt spel?
Go on the 'Play now' section, select your prefered game mode (ex: 'Real-time'), find the game you want to play, and then click on the 'Play' button.
- Om du har valt läget "Automatiska motståndare" behöver du bara vänta på motståndare.
- Otherwise, you will be displayed a list of table you can join. Choose a game table, join it, wait for players to join, and once you have the players, click 'Start game'. Have fun!
Varför går ingen med i mitt bord?
För de mest populära spelen kan du hitta spelare när som helst på dagen. För andra spel, om du inte kan hitta motståndare just nu, rekommenderar vi dig att komma tillbaka vid rusningstid (runt 22:00 CEST).
Tips: kolla antalet spelare som är online/tillgängliga för ett spel innan du startar bordet.
Tips: om ingen är tillgänglig för ett realtidsspel kan du göra om ditt bord till ett turbaserat, så att en annan spelare kan gå med i spelet även timmar/dagar efter att du har skapat det.

Kan jag gå med i flera realtidsbord samtidigt?
Ja, du kan gå med eller skapa flera realtidsbord samtidigt med hjälp av manuell lobby.
This is even recommended to be in several tables, to maximize your chance to find opponents, instead of waiting at a single table.
When one of your realtime table starts, you are automatically removed from the other tables and you can focus on your game.
For example, if you want to play Carcassonne, Keyflower and 7 Wonders, we suggest you to join or create a table for these 3 games, so all the other players can see you are ready to play these games.
Ett annat exempel: om du vill spela Saboteur rekommenderar vi att du går med i alla öppna bord.
Jag gick med i ett spel. När börjar spelet?
För realtidsspel har varje bord en värd som är bordets skapare. Det är bordsvärdens ansvar att starta spelet när de är nöjda med antalet spelare som har anslutit sig till bordet. Om du är bordsvärd och inte kan starta spelet beror det oftast på att inte tillräckligt många spelare har anslutit sig till bordet ännu.
För turbaserade spel startar spelet så snart det maximala antalet spelare har uppnåtts. Bordsvärden kan också välja att starta spelet manuellt när som helst efter att det minsta antalet spelare som krävs för att spela detta spel har anslutit sig.
För turbaserade spel startar spelet så snart det maximala antalet spelare har uppnåtts. Bordsvärden kan också välja att starta spelet manuellt när som helst efter att det minsta antalet spelare som krävs för att spela detta spel har anslutit sig.
Hur kan jag spela ett solospel?
There are an increasing number of games available for solo play on BGA. To find these games, you can go to the Games page and filter by "Number of players: Solo."
För att starta ett solospel i "Manuell"-lobbyn:
För att starta ett solospel i "Automatisk"-lobbyn:
För att starta ett solospel i "Manuell"-lobbyn:
- Skapa ett nytt bord
- Välj "Vänskapsläge" under alternativet "Spelläge"
- Minska antalet spelare till 1
- Öppna bordet för andra spelare (inga i det här fallet, men detta är fortfarande ett nödvändigt steg)
- Starta spelet.
För att starta ett solospel i "Automatisk"-lobbyn:
- Klicka på kugghjulsikonen för att ändra alternativen
- Klicka på "Visa avancerade alternativ"
- Ställ in "Vänskapsläge" till grönt och sedan "Normalt läge" till rött för alternativet "Spelläge".
- Ställ in "1 spelare" till grönt och sedan alla andra alternativ till rött för alternativet "Spelarantal".
- Klicka på "Spela nu".
Vad betyder den färgade cirkeln bredvid en spelares namn?
: Denna spelare är aktiv. Han eller hon har nyligen gjort en handling.
: This player is inactive. He or she is connected to the website but has not performed any action recently.
: Denna spelare är inte inloggad.Vad betyder ikonen bredvid en spelares namn?
: Denna spelare måste göra ett drag nu.
: This player must make a move now, and has used up all his/her available thinking time. Can someone wake them up? ;)
: This player must make a move now, but is probably not aware of this fact. If the situation doesn't change, it might mean that this player has a connection issue. : When the 'normal' avatar of a player is displayed, it means that this player is waiting for their turn to play.
En spelare spelar inte. Vad kan jag göra?
First, please remember that other players have the right to think as long as they need to about their next move... Well, as long as there is still some time left on their game clock, that is. After that, you can use the chat to ask this player to confirm that he or she is still thinking about how to play.
If the player seems to be away, we advise you to wait a few minutes: this player may be experiencing some network problems or have left temporarily. If the player is not coming back, and his/her clock has become negative, then you can kick this player out of the game. The effects of kicking a player out are the following:
With this system, we ensure that even if you are in a losing position, it is NEVER a good choice for you to quit a game in progress. This system is a little bit harsh, but unlike many other services, about 99% of games played on BGA are not abandoned, and we are proud of that :)

If the player is not coming back, and his/her clock has become negative, then you can kick this player out of the game. The effects of kicking a player out are the following:
- Denna spelare kommer att få ett "lämna"-rykte som straff (se "Rykte / Karma" för mer information).
- This player will lose the same ELO points as if he/she was the loser (last place) of this game, minus an additional -10 ELO.
- Whatever happens in the game afterwards, all the other players will be considered tied at the first place for ELO, and will receive a % of the ELO corresponding to the % of progression of the game at the moment the player was kicked out. Ex: if 80% of the game has been played, the remaining players will receive 80% of the ELO they would have won.
- Alla kommande turer för denna spelare kommer att skippas.

Exakt hur fungerar spelklockan?
Before playing each game, depending on the 'Speed' settings, you can see two values: the initial time amount and the additional time per turn.
När det är din tur att tänka minskar återstående tid på din klocka.
Regelbundet (vanligtvis vid varje "tur"), ökar din tidstilldelning.
If your timer reaches zero (or gets negative), any other player can kick you out from the game: you should be careful NEVER to be in this situation.
Några detaljer och specialfall:

If your timer reaches zero (or gets negative), any other player can kick you out from the game: you should be careful NEVER to be in this situation.
Några detaljer och specialfall:
- There is a maximum amount of time for each player. In general, this maximum matches the initial time amount (ie: you can never have more than the initial time).
- If you get a negative clock at some point during a game, even if you are not expelled, you will get a 'clock' red spot on your reputation.
- När du spelar ett spel för första gången dubblas alla dina tidsvärden.
- Tournaments are using a completely different system ('fixed time limit'): you get an amount of time at the beginning, and there is no additional time during the game.
- For turn-based games, 'X turns / day' means '24 / X' hours of additional time per move. For example, '2 turns / day' means '+12 hours per move'.
Hur hanterar du slumpmässiga händelser (tärningskast och kortkuperande till exempel)?
För tärningar och motsvarande "plocka ett tal" -åtgärder använder vi PHP-funktionen "random_int". This function has a cryptographically secure randomness, which means that it may be even better than real dice :)
For card shuffling, we are using the PHP method 'shuffle', based on the 'Mersenne Twister' algorithm which is used by most online Poker websites.
Please note that there are thousands of games played each day on BGA, so a rare event whose probability is really low may still happen dozens of times per day on BGA.
Finally, for those asking themselves "But is that random number generator truly random?", please check this page from random.org which is a great ressource to understand the complexity of this question.

Vad gör jag om en spelare gör något fel?
The Board Game Arena platform has been designed to encourage players to maintain good behavior. The reputation system allows you to distinguish between good and bad players. Then, it is up to you to decide whether to start a game with them or not.
If you think a player behaved badly during a game, you can give them a 'red thumb' at the end of the game. Effekterna av en röd tumme är:
If you think a player committed a serious wrongdoing during a game (for example insulting another player in the chat), please report this player to us, using the 'report this player' link from their profile or by clicking on the 'red thumb' at the end of the game, so that we can take appropriate measures.
If you think a player behaved badly during a game, you can give them a 'red thumb' at the end of the game. Effekterna av en röd tumme är:
- Denna spelare kommer inte att kunna spela med dig längre (förutom om du träffas i en turnering).
- Denna spelare kommer inte att kunna skicka privata meddelanden till dig eller titta på dina spel som åskådare.

Med hjälp av lobbyn "Automatisk läge": hur fungerar spelinställningarna?
När du använder lobbyn i "Automatiskt läge" kan du ange dina preferenser för en mängd olika alternativ för ett spel genom att klicka på kugghjulet.
- "Jag är okej med att spela med..." betyder att du är villig att spela med det här alternativet.
- `I prefer not to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value... Except if this is the only available possibility after searching an alternative during a few minutes.
- `I'm reluctant to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value... Except if this is the only available possibility after searching an alternative during a long time.
- `I never want to play with...` means that we won't make you join a game with this option value at all.
Hur länge håller ett spelbord öppet om ingen spelar längre?
När ingen har gjort ett drag vid ett spelbord på ett tag stängs det automatiskt för att frigöra serverresurser:
- A real-time table is closed automatically if more than 4 hours have elapsed since its creation and if all players at this table are now offline.
- Ett turbaserat spel stängs automatiskt om inget drag har gjorts på 40 dagar.
Vad är alfa- och betaspel och varför varnas vi för dem?
Alpha and beta games on Board Game Arena are works in progress. Alpha games are in the very early stages of development, so they might be unfinished, and you're asked not to share anything about them. It's also expected that you'll provide feedback to help improve the game. Beta games are a bit more polished but can still have bugs or issues. The warnings are there to remind you about potential problems (like bugs or instability) and to encourage you to report anything you encounter to help the developers refine the game.
Ditt konto, rykte och ranking
Hur fungerar mitt rykte (karma)?
The Karma score (☯) is a quick way to check if a player has a good reputation on BGA (does not quit games, is friendly and fair play, ...).
Depending on your Karma score, you may also be allowed or disallowed to use some features on BGA or to join a given table.
Du börjar med 75 ☯ karma-poäng (och du kan maximalt ha 100 ☯). Sedan:
Depending on your Karma score, you may also be allowed or disallowed to use some features on BGA or to join a given table.
Du börjar med 75 ☯ karma-poäng (och du kan maximalt ha 100 ☯). Sedan:
- Varje gång du har spelat klart ett parti får du +1☯️ om din klocka aldrig gick ner på minus under partiet.
- If you quit, or get kicked out of a game in progress, you lose 10☯ or even 20☯ if you already quit another game recently.
- Om du missar ett planerat turneringsparti: -4☯.
Vad är uppförandekoden?
På Board Game Arena skall du inte:
- Få slut på tid på spelklockan.
- Lämna ett pågående spel med flit.
- Take an unnecessary and unreasonable amount of time at the end of game in an obvious losing situation.
- Engage in Kingmaking: enabling another player to win on purpose while there is a better move to make for yourself.
- Give some piece of information about the current game situation that disturbs the normal game flow.
- Communicate with another player about the game privately (for example with an instant messenging app).
- Engagera i provokation / triumphalism / defeatism ... allt som inte är rättvist spelande.
- Use an avatar that may be shocking or offensive to other players (no advertisement, no politics, ...)
Varför fick jag ett meddelande om en IP-adress när jag gick med i ett bord?
When you join a table, you may receive a message informing you that a player is playing from the same IP address as another player. This means they could potentially be sharing information. We've decided to display this warning to let you know. You are free to decide whether or not you wish to participate in this game. For more details please check out our 'Multi account policy'.
Vad är helt förbjudet?
På Board Game Arena är det absolut förbjudet att:
- Kränka andra spelare på något sätt.
- Skapa flera konton och spela mot sig själv för att öka sin ranking.
- Trolling, admin-bashing, moderator-bashing, tomma kritiker eller diffamation.
Vilka riktlinjer ska jag följa när jag kommunicerar?
The general rule you should follow is to talk to people (in the forum, in the chat, ...) as if they were friends that you invited to play at your home: then you'll naturally give them your attention and be kind to them so that everyone feels welcome and at ease. Och det är alltid grymt kul att spela med kompisar!
You should also be aware that in an international communication context, not everyone has the same mastery of the language being used, and that cultural differences can sometimes lead to misundernstandings. When in doubt, please consider the most kind and well intentioned meaning as it will be the good one most of the time!
And finally, do not use Board Game Arena communication resources to advertise other gaming websites. If you want to talk about your experience elsewhere, please just say something like 'on another gaming website'.

Turneringar och karma: hur fungerar detta?
Det finns ett minimum-rykte att nå för att spela varje turnering (standard är 65☯).
If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament for which you registered, you may not be able to participate.
If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament in progress, you may be expelled from the tournament (but not from your games in progress).
If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament for which you registered, you may not be able to participate.
If your reputation decrease below the minimum requirement of a tournament in progress, you may be expelled from the tournament (but not from your games in progress).
Hur beräknas min ELO ranking?
The players ELO score on BGA is based on the ELO formula, which is one of the most popular ways to evaluate a player level. Please check Wikipedia if you are interested in the theory.
På BGA får du en specifik ELO-rankning för varje individuellt spel. Om du aldrig spelat ett spel så har du 0 ELO.
When you finish a game, the number of points you gain/lose depends on the level of your opponents, and more precisely on the ELO difference between you and your opponents.
The most simple situation is a 2 players game. You will gain a number of ELO point equal to K x (W - p(D)) where:
Några flera detaljer och specifika fall:
ELO ranking allows to classify players in 7 distinct skills levels: Beginner (0 point), Apprentice (1-99 points), Average (100-199), Good (200-299), Strong (300-499), Expert (500-699), Master (700+).

The most simple situation is a 2 players game. You will gain a number of ELO point equal to K x (W - p(D)) where:
- W är resultatet i spelet: 1 för vinst, 0 för förlust och 0.5 för oavgjort.
- D är skillnaden i ELO ranking mellan dig och din motståndare.
- p(D) is the probability of victory considering the previous difference (see Wikipedia for details).
- K, 'elasticitetsfaktorn', har ett värde som beror på antalet spel du har spelat: 60 för dina första 10 spel, 40 mellan dina 11:e och 20:e spel, 20 för ditt 21:a och vidare.
Några flera detaljer och specifika fall:
- I ditt allra första spel vinner du alltid minst 1 ELO-poäng, även om du förlorar spelet.
- Until you reach 100 ELO (beginner), you can never lose ELO points. And after that you can never go back under 100 ELO.
- When you play with more than 1 opponent, we consider that you win against each opponent who scores lower than you during this game, and lose against each opponent who scores better than you. For example, if you are #2 in a 4 players game, you gain ELO points as if you won against the 3rd and 4th players, and lost against the 1st. In this case, the K factor is adjusted depending of the total players number to make sure ELO variation are not too important (or too little).
- When you win consecutively against the same opponent on a game, your ELO gains will gradually reduce. This encourages you to compete against as many players as possible.
- When your rank is "Strong" or higher, and you don't play for an extended period, your ELO score will decrease over time.
ELO ranking allows to classify players in 7 distinct skills levels: Beginner (0 point), Apprentice (1-99 points), Average (100-199), Good (200-299), Strong (300-499), Expert (500-699), Master (700+).
Varför är rankningar och konkurrenslägen inaktiverade för vissa spel?
En del spel är inte lämpliga för onlinetävling på Board Game Arena.Detta kan hända av flera skäl:
- the game may be a cooperative one, where your rank serves as a rough indication of your level but should not be viewed as a competitive rank;
- spelet kan ha lösts;
- there may be easily accessible game engines or artificial intelligence allowing players to compete at the level of the engine instead of their own.
Varför fick jag inte en högsta trofé för det här spelet?
To be awarded the top rank trophies, you need to have reached at least 300 ELO (otherwise, the first people playing the game would just get the trophies immediately). Also, there needs to be enough active players (at least 1000/300 in the last two months for the top20/top10), otherwise the achievement would not be significant.
Hur raderar jag mitt konto?
Ta ett andetag ... Varför vill du göra det? Vi kommer sakna dig!

Varför har några av mina vänner försvunnit?
En nyligen genomförd förändring av hur vänner hanteras på Board Game Arena har inneburit att några gamla vänner har behövt tas bort. Ej ömsesidiga vänskaper är nämligen nu inte längre tillåtna.
För att få en ny vän från och med nu måste du först skicka en vänförfrågan till en användare. Om den användaren accepterar din vänförfrågan blir ni vänner. Detta gör att ni kan se när ni är online, samt se relevant information om varandras flöden.
Alla icke-ömsesidiga vänskaper som fanns före denna förändring har tagits bort och omvandlats till "förfallna vänförfrågningar".
Du kan hitta dessa utgångna vänförfrågningar genom att klicka på "Se mer..." på fliken vänner. Om du fortfarande vill vara vän med någon av dessa spelare kan du fortfarande skicka vänförfrågningar till dem!

Hur väljer ni vilka spel som ni tillhandahåller online?
För att publicera ett spel på BGA behöver vi 2 saker:
So if you are asking yourself why one of your favourite games is not yet available on BGA, it could be for various reasons:
Om du vill föreslå ett spel för BGA: Det bästa sättet att hjälpa oss att få lägga upp det här spelet på BGA är inte att skriva till oss, utan att skriva till den som ger ut spelet, och berätta hur cool BGA är, så att de kan ge oss lov att ha spelet här! :)
Det är till stor hjälp, så gör det, snälla du! Du kan skicka dem den här länken, som förklarar allting de behöver veta:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepublishers
- The authorization of the digital rights owner for the game (most of the time, the original publisher).
- A software developer volunteering the time and skills needed to build an online version of the game.
So if you are asking yourself why one of your favourite games is not yet available on BGA, it could be for various reasons:
- We never asked an authorization for this game in the first place (of course if the game is popular, there is a good chance that we asked).
- The publisher didn't reply or refused to grant his authorization, temporarily or definitively.
- The publisher accepted, but we haven't found a volunteer developer yet for this game, or the development is currently ongoing.
- Spelbearbetningen är klar, men vi väntar på en viss tid eller händelse för att släppa den.

Vad sägs om lite spelexpansioner?
Game expansions follow the same selection and development process than games. There can be various reasons why a game publisher doesn't want the expansion online, and sometimes we don't find a developer who has the time to develop it.
Jag är en utgivare; vad finns det för skäl för mig att ha med mitt spel på BGA, och hur ordnar jag så att det sker?
The main goal of Board Game Arena is to make it easy for players to discover new games, learn to play them and love them. We think that there are only two kinds of players on Board Game Arena: those who already bought the games they are playing online, and those who plan to buy them soon!

Arena (tävlingsläge)
Vad är Arena-spelläget?
Arena-läget är det största spelläget för tävlande för alla spel på Board Game Arena.
Playing Arena Mode, you meet opponents in a competitive spirit, and try to become the new world champion for each game!
Playing Arena Mode, you meet opponents in a competitive spirit, and try to become the new world champion for each game!
Hur fungerar det?
Arena-läget bygger på säsonger.
En säsong varar i 3 månader, så det finns 4 Arena-säsonger per år.
I slutet av en säsong blir toppspelarna för varje spel de nya BGA-världsmästarna.

I slutet av en säsong blir toppspelarna för varje spel de nya BGA-världsmästarna.
Men om jag inte bryr mig om tävlingsspelande?
Arena Mode is 100% optional. You can play on BGA using 'Simple mode' and never care about it.
Vilka är reglerna för Arena-läge?
Först: vissa Arena-lägesregler kan ändras från en säsong till en annan.
To access Arena Mode for a game, you first need to reach 100 ELO points. It gives you access to the lower Arena league (Bronze league). You start with 1 Arena point ('Bronze - 1').
When playing on Arena mode, you play each game with its Arena format. You cannot choose your opponents: a matchmaking algorithm is choosing your opponents for you.
When you win a game in Arena mode, you gain Arena points. You gain 3 Arena points when beating an opponent from the same league, 2 points when beating an opponent from league N-1, 1 point for beating an opponent from league N-2, and so on (and the same for higher leagues).
När du förlorar ett parti tappar du Arena-poäng. Du kan dock inte hamna under 0 poäng.
(Note: If you play a 3+ game, the number of Arena points you get is divided by the number of opponents. So beating 5 opponents from the same league brings you 3 x 5 / 5 = 3 points).
When you reach 10 points, you are promoted to the upper league, with 1 point (ex: 'Silver - 1'). You get a corresponding trophy, and you can no longer be relegated for this season.
Ditt mål är naturligtvis att nå den högsta ligan före säsongens slut :)

Hur många ligor finns det?
It depends on the popularity of the game: the most popular a game is, the more leagues there are (and the most difficult it is to reach the top).
Vad är 'Elite-ligan'?
The most active players for a given game (especially the best ones) may reach the most prestigious league: the Elite league.
In Elite league, the rules are different: each player has an Elite Arena Score (EAS), which works exactly like a standard 'ELO rank'. Based on this EAS, you get your world rank for this game (ex: 45th) and you can try to become the world champion
This EAS is hidden as long as you are playing in inferior leagues, and is revealed when you enter the Elite league. Basically, if you beat very good players during this season, your EAS will be high, and if you beat weak players your EAS will be low.

Vad händer i slutet av säsongen?
For each game, the best players will receive the BGA world champion trophies for the season depending on their final rankings.
När en ny säsong börjar, förflyttas alla till en lägre liga (och EAS återställs).

Vad är "Arena-formatet"?
The Arena format is a set of game settings that apply to all tables played in Arena mode. This keeps all Arena games for a particular game consistent, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.
Every season, the "Game Gurus" community of each game discusses and votes on the Arena format. These users can propose new formats, and the one with the most votes at the end of the season becomes the official Arena format for the next season.
In some cases, Admins may set a special rotating format that makes game option change each season based on specific rules. This is especially useful for games with complex settings that can create very different play experiences (e.g., battle scenarios, map variants).

Vad gäller för turordningsbaserade spel?
Arena-läget är både för realtids- och turbaserade partier.
The only constraint for turn based games is that a turn based game must start and end during a given Arena season to be taken into account for this Arena season.
If your turn based game is not finished at the end of the Season, the player who consume the most thinking time during the game will lose the game.
For a given game, you must also always play on the table where you are the most waited (ie: where it's your turn for the longest time).

Vad hände med asynkrona Arena-spel i slutet av säsongen?
5 days before the end of the season, it is not possible to start new Arena turn-based games anymore.
If your turn based game is not finished at the end of the Season, the player who consume the most thinking time during the game will lose the game and lose Arena points.
Andra spelare varken vinner eller förlorar några arenapoäng för detta spel.
Spelet kan fortsätta efteråt, men det kommer inte att bli några ytterligare konsekvenser för arenarankingen.

Vad är en Spelguru?
For each game on BGA, the most prolific players in the last 30 days are eligible to become the Game Gurus.
Gurus väljs ut dagligen och kommer att behålla sin status i minst en månad.
Game Gurus have special powers, like being able to discuss and vote for the next seasons Arena format.
Det är också de som utvärderar Alfa-handledningarna.
Mer speciella befogenheter kommer att anförtros Spelguruer i framtiden.

Hur blir man en Spelguru?
Your karma must be at least 90, and you must have been registered on Board Game Arena for at least one year.
The players who played the most (non-training) games in the last 30 days will automatically become gurus. (limited to 100 players)
Once a player is a guru for a specific game, they will keep their status for at least 1 month (unless their karma drops).

Tekniska problem
Vad kan jag göra om jag har något problem med sidan?
De flesta problem på denna webbplats kan lösas med en enkel uppdatering av webbsidan (eller "F5").
If you experience a persistent issue, the first thing to do is to use our troubleshooting tool to check if everything is fine with your configuration.
If you are not correctly logged in for a game (spectator instead of player), please come back to the main site and log out then log in again to refresh your authentication cookies.
Then, you can browse our bug tracker: check to see if someone has already reported this issue and upvote it, or create a new report if that's not the case. Please take the time needed to describe the problem in a clear and precise manner so that we can quickly reproduce and fix it.

Varför har inte denna bugg fixats ännu?
Vi fixar en massa buggar, hela tiden. Men förstås måste vi ha prioriteter:
BGA is known for the quality of its adaptations, and if you look at the bug tracker, you will see that - considering the number of games and the size of the community - there are not so many really important bugs open with a lot of upvotes.
Please also remember that a lot of BGA adaptations are realized and maintained by volunteers on their free time. Finding and fixing bugs is neither easy nor really fun, so the best way you can help is by being nice and giving precise information in bug reports.
It can also happen that the original developer stops maintaining the game after a while for some personal reason. In that case, remaining bugs can stay open a long time, until another developer interested in the game volunteers to take over, or for more popular games, until the number of votes attracts the attention of an admin on this bug's relevance to the community.
- We give the highest priority to recent features and recent games, because the most important bugs are reported fast.
- We give the highest priority to the bugs that gathered the highest number of upvotes (green thumbs) in our bug tracking tool.
- We usually fix bugs in batches for better efficiency. So if we decide to fix an important bug on a game, there is a good chance that we will fix some other minor bugs at the same time.

Jag spelar på en mobil enhet och jag har lite problem: vad kan jag göra?
BGA was designed with desktop and laptop computers in mind. Then we updated the layout to accomodate mobile users, but while some BGA adaptations run perfectly on mobile, some others are not designed well for small screens or touch screens. This can come from the complexity of the game itself (big board, lots of elements) or from the choices made by the developer.
Thus, when you play from a mobile device, we advise you to choose games that won't be too difficult to play on a small screen, and to pay extra attention to each of your moves to be sure to trigger the correct action: zooming a lot really helps!

Varför har jag långsam uppkoppling eller prestandaproblem på BGA?
We are constantly monitoring our servers responsiveness. Sometimes incidents occur, but most of the time BGA is responsive. Usually, less than 2% of game moves takes more than 200 milliseconds to process, and less than 0.2% takes more than 1 second.
The main BGA servers are located in Europe (France), but we rent relay servers all across the world (in 30+ locations) so that big files (essentially images) are loaded quickly even if you are far from us.
Please be aware that very often, performances problems can come from your internet connection or from your computer system. We advise you to try to connect with a different browser / computer / internet connection to troubleshoot the issues.
As a rule of thumb, if you are finding out that BGA is not responsive enough for you on a given day, you shouldn't start or join a game since there is a risk for you to get clock penalties.

Översättningsriktlinjer
Vad kan översättas?
The collaborative translation system is meant to make it possible to translate Board Game Arena into any language, in order to enable more people to discover and play board games.
For example, if you want to play 'Dragonheart' with your 10-year-old nephew and he doesn't speak English yet, no problem! Just help us translate Board Game Arena into your language!
Every string of text for the main site and for the games interfaces are 'internationalized' and can be translated by the player community. News announcements displayed on the BGA 'Home' and 'News' pages are computer translated first, then the translation can be improved by the community.

Vem borde översätta?
This is important: only translate text into a given language if you are a native speaker of that language. When translating a game, the translator should know the game thoroughly and if possible have a box and rulebook of the game in the destination language to check for consistency. Translators should take into account the level of language and the formal/informal pronominal rules usual for the gaming audience of their country.
The source/reference language for translation is English, since the site and games development is made in English.
English is not necessarily the mother tongue of all developers, so fluent (and preferably native) English speakers can submit requests for change to be validated by developers or adminstrators. It is necessary to be very careful when modifying the English texts as this affects the translations in all languages!

Vad ska jag sikta mot när jag översätter?
When translating, please always stay as close as possible to the original English text in meaning and style. Translating a software interface is not a literary exercise: please do not try to transform Board Game Arena into a book. Practicality, clarity and homogeneity are the most important.
In particular, you should respect the final punctuation (or lack thereof), the specific words capitalization choices and the use of digits instead of words.
In particular, you should respect the final punctuation (or lack thereof), the specific words capitalization choices and the use of digits instead of words.
Jag fixade några översättningar, men texten verkar inte ha förändrats på sajten?
Translation files are updated nightly, so you just have to wait until tomorrow for your changes to appear on the site.
Hur länge är det möjligt att ändra översättningar?
The first translations may not be perfect. So they can be modified until they are 'validated'. Validation occurs when a translation has not been modified for 30 days straight. It is then considered stable and valid (golden icon) and can only be changed by 'seasoned' players.
Computer translated text is never validated until it has been proofread by a member of the community and either "confirmed" or "modified". Afterwards it is considered to have a "human" level of trustability like other translations, and will follow the same rules for validation.

What can I do if the game adaptation does not allow me to create the right tutorial steps?
Because of bugs or specific choices made by a game adaptation developer, it may be difficult or impossible to:
In that case, it should be reported as a bug for the game in our bug reporting tool so that the developer can fix it. When reporting the bug, please indicate to the developer to check the tutorials checklist page where the most frequent errors and problematic cases are described.
After the issue has been fixed, you should be able to create a tutorial without problem, by using the replay of a game played after the new game version has been deployed.
- Spela om ett spel utan fel
- Be handledningsvisaren att spela ett drag istället för att använda knappen "Fortsätt"
- sätt en handledningskommentar på exakt den plats du vill.

Hur tjänar ni ert uppehälle?
After more than 7 years building and managing BGA on their free time, both founders have been working on the website with a full-time salaried position since early 2018. This was really required by the growing audience playing on this website, and has finally been made possible by the continued support of our Premium members through the years (thank you again!).
But actually, there is so much work to do to run BGA that two people working full-time is clearly not enough! This is why we intend to preserve and expand our "community based" approach to give to every interested player the possibility to contribute in order to keep this service running as good and smooth as possible.
