We love board games, we love enjoying new board games, but we (often) dislike reading rulebooks. Seems contradictory, doesn't it?
Over the past years, a lot of you asked us to provide Tutorials to learn new games in addition to the resources we alread provide: videos, rules links, ... Some of you may have noticed that since last summer there are more and more games with a tutorial available. Today, we are proud to say that this feature is mature enough to be announced officially! 🙂
As many other features on BGA, this is a community-based feature, which means that the majority of tutorials have been created by the community. Over the past months, you created or help to create tutorials for almost 130 different games! A huge thank you to all the tutorial authors for this extraordinary contribution to the hobby, and also for all players who tried, evaluated, and translated tutorials.
Here is a little Q&A to provide more information about the tutorials.
How can I see if the game has a tutorial?
On the game page, in the "How to Play" section, the first option is to watch a tutorial (or to create one, if there are none).
Which games have tutorials?
From the "Games" page, using "More Filters," you can filter the list of games to have "Games With a Tutorial" only. Or go directly there.
Why are tutorials created by the community?
The main reason is to give all games a chance to have a good tutorial.
You, as players, are the experts of the games you are explaining. You probably know these games better than us, better than the developer who implement it on BGA, sometimes better than its own designer/publisher, and you know how it should be explained.
Thus, instead of publishing a restricted set of tutorials for some games, we created a tutorial making tool which gives the possibility to anyone to create a tutorial for any game.
How can I create a tutorial?
A lot more details on tutorials are also available using this link 😉
Will you continue to improve the tutorial feature?
Yes, we are still working on improving the tutorial feature, including the tutorial building tool, the tutorial reviewing & evaluation system, and so on.
However, the feature is mature enough to be announced today, so more players can know about it. 🙂
Vadnice: naučite se igrati družabne igre z BGA
Obožujemo družabne igre, radi uživamo v novih družabnih igrah, vendar (pogosto) ne maramo branja pravil.
Zdi se protislovno, kajne?
V preteklih letih nas je veliko vas prosilo, da poleg virov, ki jih že ponujamo: videoposnetke, povezave s pravili, zagotovimo vadnice za učenje novih iger ...
Nekateri ste morda opazili, da je od lanskega poletja na voljo vedno več iger z vadnico.
Danes s ponosom lahko rečemo, da je ta funkcija dovolj zrela, da jo lahko uradno objavimo!
Kot mnoge druge funkcije na BGA, je to funkcija, ki temelji na skupnosti, kar pomeni, da je večino vadnic ustvarila skupnost.
V zadnjih mesecih ste ustvarili ali pomagali ustvariti vadnice za skoraj 130 različnih iger!
Najlepša hvala vsem avtorjem vadnic za ta izjemen prispevek k hobiju in tudi vsem igralcem, ki so preizkusili, ocenili in prevedli vadnice.
Tukaj je nekaj vprašanj in odgovorov za več informacij o vadnicah.
Kako lahko vidim, ali ima igra vadnico?
Na strani igre, v razdelku »Kako igrati«, je prva možnost ogled vadnice (ali ustvarjanje vadnice, če je ni).
Katere igre imajo vadnice?
Na strani »Igre« lahko z uporabo »Več filtrov« filtrirate seznam iger tako, da imate samo »Igre z vadnico«.
Ali pa pojdite neposredno tja.
Zakaj vadnice ustvarja skupnost?
Glavni razlog je dati vsem igram priložnost, da imajo dobro vadnico.
Kot igralci ste strokovnjaki za igre, ki jih razlagate.
Verjetno poznate te igre bolje od nas, bolje kot razvijalec, ki jih izvaja na BGA, včasih bolje kot njegov lastni oblikovalec/založnik, in veste, kako je treba to razložiti.
Tako smo namesto objave omejenega nabora vadnic za nekatere igre ustvarili orodje za izdelavo vadnic, ki daje možnost vsakomur, da ustvari vadnico za katero koli igro.
Kako lahko ustvarim vadnico?
Kako ustvariti vadnico.
Na tej povezavi je na voljo tudi veliko več podrobnosti o vadnicah
Ali boste še naprej izboljševali funkcijo vadnice?
Da, še vedno delamo na izboljšanju funkcije vadnic, vključno z orodjem za izdelavo vadnic, sistemom za pregledovanje in ocenjevanje vadnic itd.
Vendar je funkcija dovolj zrela, da jo lahko objavimo danes, tako da lahko več igralcev ve zanjo.
