(https://tehill.net/carcassonne/projects/interview/BGA.png) | I doubt that many of you need an introduction to the online board game system Board Game Area (or BGA). The site was founded in mid-2010 (in French only), and has now grown to host over 430 different games, support 45 languages; and the almost 7.6 million users play over 100 thousand games each day. Here on Carcassonne Central, most of us come across Board Game Arena when looking for a popular implementation of Carcassonne. I reached out to their team with some questions I thought we’d all like to know the answers to. I was extremely happy and surprised to have a response in a matter of days (hours really) from Ian Parovel who is the Art Director (UI/UX & P.R) at BGA. He had also shared the questions with Grégory Isabelli the CEO and founder of Board Game Arena. |
Thanks for that insightful interview. I really enjoy playing games on BGA, especially asynchronously with friends scattered around the globe. It's a great site for hobby gaming, and I'm always impressed by its professionalism in faithfully creating digital implementations of games.
