*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):

Opus Magnum december: Letos skupaj zaključimo lepo.
Bilo je težko leto.
Za vse po vsem svetu.
In še vedno je.
V tem nenavadnem času smo pozdravili vse več igralcev z vsega sveta, več razvijalcev, več založnikov in na splošno več iger.
Najlepše se zahvaljujemo vsem našim uporabnikom Premium: ne samo, da pomagate pri podpori infrastrukture, temveč tudi založnikom in oblikovalcem iger od koder koli na svetu.
Prejeli smo tudi veliko e-poštnih sporočil o tem, kako je Board Game Arena pomagala marsikomu ostati pri zdravi pameti, medtem ko je bil zaprt.
Igrati se s prijatelji, družino, sorodniki ...
Ves čas razmišljamo o vseh teh sporočilih.
In hvaležni smo vsem ljudem, ki nam pomagajo tukaj.
Prav tako je nenavaden čas, saj imeti na BGA blizu 5 milijonov računov igralcev ni enostavno upravljati.
Toda naša majhna ekipa je na njej 24 ur na dan, 7 dni v tednu, da bodo stvari čim bolj prijetne.
Izboljšujemo, izpopolnjujemo, popravljamo vsak del spletnega mesta.
Ni popoln, vendar ga poskušamo izboljšati: naslednje leto bi lahko prineslo nekaj novih stvari v BGA, v teku pa je še veliko izboljšav.
Pričakujemo, da boste lahko vsemu temu priča naslednje leto.
A za zdaj bomo to končali, saj bomo jutri decembra.
Ker je bilo leto težko, smo se vam želeli zahvaliti, ker ste igrali na BGA in nas podpirali.
Vsak dan se BGA pridružuje več založnikov, pa tudi razvijalcev.
In preprosto ne moremo upoštevati običajnega razporeda za izdajo v sredo.
Ne da pogrešamo igre, ampak prav nasprotno: imamo jih veliko in izdati jih moramo še več!
Zato smo prišli do preproste ideje: kot adventni koledar, naj tudi ta postane
"KOLEDAR OPUS MAGNUM".
Opus Magnum je latinsko za mojstrovino.
Lahko se uporablja tudi kot "Dobro opravljeno delo".
Našo ekipo smo s pomočjo naših razvijalcev pripeljali do meje, da bi vam prinesli poseben FULL mesec NOVIH iger.
Kako?
Od danes dalje ste morda videli nov blok pod bloki naslovov na naši domači strani:
Koledar za december 2020.
Vsak decembrski dan boste lahko kliknili dnevno darilo, ki vam bo pokazalo našo objavo dneva.
Da.
ENA nova izdaja igre VSAK DAN. 31 dni.
To je 31. igra za december.
Od klasike do novosti, indie do slavnih naslovov, boste imeli novo igro, ki jo boste lahko odkrili vsakič, ko luna vzhaja (po pariškem času).
Za ogled novih iger boste lahko kliknili koledar, poleg tega pa boste lahko našli tudi izdaje, navedene v tej objavi.
V koledar pa smo dodali majhno funkcijo: če boste vsak dan prišli klikniti dnevno darilo, boste dobili nagrado kot nagrado, odvisno od tega, koliko dni ste to lahko storili zapored.
To je način, da pozneje vemo, kaj je bilo videti, kaj je bilo kliknjeno in kako lahko na prvi strani uporabimo takšno idejo za ponujanje več stvari.
Za zdaj so tukaj izdane igre (seznam se bo posodabljal vsak dan):
Izdanje 1. decembra:
Thurn & Taxis, 2006 Spiel des Jahres, oblikoval
Andreas Seyfarth & Karen Seyfarth, za BGA pa Volker78 & tutchek
2. december:
Dobrodošli v IN Dobrodošli v podjetju VEGAS, ki ga je oblikoval
Alexis Allard in Benoît Tupin, za BGA pa Tisaac & JustinFernal
