Miams is a high energy roll-and-write dice game in which you will need to create tasty fruit skewers, from pairs to full houses, or the most coveted “Miams” made of five identical fruits. Sound familiar?

The first player to collect 50 hearts triggers the end of the game and the one with the most hearts and stars wins.

Miams has an easy-to-learn feel, but it also offers strategic depth. Players can decide which dice to keep, when to reroll, and how to use a special red bonus die to turn the tide in their favor. On top of that, at the end of every turn, you choose a powerful Miams card that introduces effects that spice up the game and bring a je-ne-sais-quoi to every table.

Miams is a fast and fun experience that mixes luck and tactical choices. One question remains: should these fruits be turned into smoothies? Get a taste with the tutorial or jump in: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=miams

What is yellow and goes up and down in an elevator? A bana.. Nope, it is card from Up or Down!

As a matter of fact, it could also be green, pink, purple, blue or red... Your objective here is not to make your opponent laugh, even though that should score you some points, but it is to build ascending and descending rows of cards, trying to place as many cards of the same color in a row as possible.

You can have up to three rows in your display. When you place a second card in a row, you must decide whether the cards in that row will be placed in ascending order or descending, and you stack the cards accordingly. You can also discard some cards.

For each row, multiply the number of cards in that row by the number of cards in the most common color in that row. For each card in your discard pile, score 1 point. Whoever has the most points wins. Are you terrible at math? Don't worry, BGA will count for you.

So, what’s green and goes up and down an elevator? It’s a card from Up or Down, you got it! It is strategic! It is fun! It even has a tutorial. Do not hesitate to give this a go: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=upordown

A huge thanks to Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer, game designers, as well as the crew from Capstone Games to allow us to add this gem to our platform. A gem needs a jeweler to shine, so thank you to MGoulet who developed Up or Down for BGA.

Fire… How did humanity manage to master its mysterious power? This is what Don’t Let It Die is all about: you have 14 days to uncover its secrets before a massive flood drowns the valley you live in.

You will gather resources & food, fight deadly predators, and learn the mysteries of fire. Your task is a difficult one, but no matter what happens, remember: you and the fire must survive...

In this cooperative game, your tribe consists of 4 Neanderthals, no matter how many players you play with. They all take turns to search for resources, fight off dangerous animals, unlock new discoveries, and work together to keep the fire alive!

Each day is split into 3 phases: Day, Night and Morning (in that order). During the Day, your characters, one after the other, use their stamina points to perform specific actions. At Night, some event occurs and affects your group’s progress. In the Morning, you set up for the Day to come.

The key to victory lies in your group's ability to adapt to the threats of prehistoric life. Will you focus on hunting and foraging to feed your tribe? Will you be more concerned with supplying the dwindling fire with more wood? Maybe you should construct a weapon or a tool to ease the stress of gathering resources... Whatever you decide, give it a go through the tutorial or follow the link below and Don’t Let It Die! https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=dontletitdie

We would like to thank Thunk Board Games and Dustin Hendrickson, the game designer, for letting us add this beautifully crafted game to our platform. And also a big thank you top Cutch25, for making Don’t Let It Die a reality on BGA.

This game is part of the WINTER OF GAMES 2025 calendar.

The election of the Aztec High Priest is imminent. To prove your value and merit, in this 2 to 4 players game, you need to carve sacred Cóatl sculptures (majestic feathered serpents) to impress the Gods and become the Aztec High Priest.

You work to build the most beautiful and valuable serpents. The Cóatl are made with a head, a tail, and at least one body tiles, all colorful, and inspiring. If you manage to create patterns shown on Prophecy cards, you will score prestige points. If you fulfill one of the requirements, or more, from Temple cards, you will score prestige points.

You get it, the more prestige points you score, the more you please the Gods and the closer you are to win the game. The end of the game is triggered when one player finishes their third Cóatl. The players with the most prestige point is named the new High Priest!

Cóatl, nominated for several awards, is a beautiful and fun to fiddle with game. It is accessible with deep strategy where you will need to solve puzzles to achieve the best possible combinations to become High Priest. You can test your skill through the tutorial or slither your way to the game directly: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=coatl

It’s been 600 years since humanity has abandoned its home planet. The battle rages between the Green Stars and the Red Guild for universe domination.

In Asteria, a strategic card game for 2, you must choose a side with one goal in mind: become the new ruler of the galaxy!

Adapted from 4X games (exploit, expand, explore and exterminate), Asteria is played in alternating turns composed of 3 steps: gather resources, use action cards, and conflict and maintenance.

“Hold on, you said 4X but there are only 3 steps, the math doesn’t add up”. Well, each action card offers 4 possibilities on each of its sides: exploit is blue, expand is green, explore is purple and exterminate is red. Choosing one side will alter your strategy so make sure to pick the right one at the right time.

There, you have it, so whether you choose the Green Stars or the Red Guild, do you have it in you to conquer the universe? There only one way to find out and it is right here:

https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=asteria

May thanks to Augusto Rochathe, game designer, and the team at Glyptodon, for allowing us to port this amazing 4X experience to our platform. And there would be no game here without a developer so thanks to andrelmlins for the adaptation to BGA.

This game is part of the WINTER OF GAMES 2025 calendar.

That was your Wednesday release.

See you around very soon and until then, take care and play fair…

The last lone wolf, guardian of the mountain, has just disappeared. You are the Alpha of a wolf pack, and you must be ready to do anything to ensure the survival of your people on the Mountain.

Moonlight - The Land of the Wolves is a 2-player game played in 2 winning rounds. During each round, players take turns to lay down one of the 3 Wolf cards in their hand, within a playing area of no more than 4 by 3 or 3 by 4 cards, following placement rules.

Your wolves have different characteristics (Value, Moon, Counting Power, Majority Power). At the end of each round, you compare the Values of each pack for each line and win as many points as the number of wolves involved, plus a bonus for most Moons.

After a round, the winner gets an extra Wolf, and the loser a Power card. These cards can give you considerable strategic advantages for the rest of the next round. The first player to win 2 rounds wins the game!

Moonlight is an area control game. Place your cards wisely and anticipate your opponent’s move to win. Howling at the moon will probably not give you any advantages but it might make you feel good. In the meantime do not hesitate to give the game a go: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=moonlight

A big thank you to La Boite de Jeu for granting us the authorization to host this title on our platform! We are also deeply grateful to the game designers Alexandre Aguilar and Thomas Favrelière for creating such an inspiring game.
