• Trading Posts introduce progressive bonuses that players unlock as they acquire cards, adding fresh dynamics to the game without increasing complexity or extending game time.

With this expansion, the race for wealth enters a whole new dimension- whether on the table or online. Adapt to the shifting rules of global trade- and let your empire shine!

In Daedalus (Dédale in French), players work together to aid the mythical architect Daedalus in his quest to trap the fearsome Minotaur within an ever-growing maze.

Over the course of 10 original challenges with rising difficulty, players take turns strategically placing labyrinth cards at the center of the table, constructing a shifting maze in real time. The objective: complete the challenge before the deck runs out.

Developed in collaboration with the Alchimie du Jeu festival in Toulouse, Dédale celebrates the 2024 event's official theme: mythology. A portion of every sale supports the festival, reinforcing the game's deep roots in community and cultural engagement.

Whether you’re a mythology enthusiast or a seasoned puzzle-solver, Dédale offers a unique blend of tactical cooperation and thematic depth—now fully playable on Board Game Arena, solo or up to 4 players - and you can learn it right online:

Think you have mastered press-your-luck games? Think again.

Flip 7 has just landed on Board Game Arena, and it is here to flip your expectations upside down- literally. Your goal? Flip over cards one by one, but do not flip the same number twice. Sounds simple… until it is not.

This is not your average deck of cards. In Flip 7, the numbers are stacked against you- one 1, two 2s, three 3s, and so on- all the way to twelve. But that is not all: a mix of powerful special cards adds wild twists to each turn. Some give you bonus points, others a second chance… and some might just freeze you- or your opponents- where you stand!

Will you play it safe and bank your points, or risk it all to chain together seven flips in a row for a massive bonus? Every game is a rollercoaster of luck, nerve, and smart timing.

Whether you are a cautious flipper or a bold risk-taker, Flip 7 is the addictive blend of chance and strategy you have been waiting for.

Have a look at the tutorial first, then flip in and find out if you have what it takes!

In this elegant Euro-style game, you will lead a clan under the command of Daimyo Sakai Tadakiyo. Over three intense rounds, you will place workers, manage resources, and climb the social ranks of the court- all in a bid to score the most victory points and gain the Daimyo’s favor.

Sharpen your scissors, spark your imagination, and dive into the poetic charm of Paper World!

You are a traveler capturing the beauty of your journey through stunning layered paper landscapes. Stack your cards, blend shapes and colors, and compose a unique masterpiece to collect the most stars- your path to victory.

Each turn, you face a simple yet crucial decision:

• TAKE one or more cards,
• or PLACE one or more cards into your personal landscape.

But there is a twist: the cards must share the same color or the same number. Smart choices and clever timing will be key to building the most breathtaking (and point-rich!) scenery.

The game ends when only two central piles remain. Everyone- including the player who triggered the end- gets one final turn to shine before the stars are tallied.

The winner? The player with the most stars. In the case of a tie, the one who discarded the fewest cards claims the glory.

Elegant, quick to play, and sneakily strategic, you can learn it right now online thanks to the tutorial, or simply start layering your masterpiece today by clicking the link below:

In Rats of Wistar, you play the role of one of the four rats who organized the escape from a lab.

As such, you will have to lead your family to prove that you are the most deserving of leading the entire colony.

Thanks to your extraordinary skills, you will be able to explore the Farm until you reach the pantry to be able to grab the appetizing cheese; exploiting the artifacts abandoned by humans at the edge of the Wood, you will create new inventions and expand your lair under the trees, digging new rooms and building new beds.

You will meet native rats and mice that you will welcome into your family, and when necessary, you will visit the Alchemist mouse to gain an extra advantage.

The game takes place over 5 rounds (equal to the 5 days in which the challenge takes place) and you will earn victory points (VPs) as follows:

• build beds,
• excavate rooms,
• solve missions within the Farm,
• welcome host mice,
• build new Inventions,
• claim Achievements.

At the end of the game, the player with the most VPs wins. In case of a tie, the player furthest in turn order wins.
