Rescue your Board Game Arena project

Tell us where the project is and what to keep. It's priced like a new build, since the worst case is rebuilding it. We check your files, count the components, and get access to the project before you pay, so you'll see the exact total first.

  1. Your game
  2. Files
  3. Details for BGA
  4. You and payment

Fields marked Required must be filled in. Everything marked Optional can be left blank.

1. Your game
Is the game published? Required
Exactly as it appears on BoardGameGeek, or as it will. We use it for the BGA listing and to name the project, so check the spelling.
The number in the game's BGG address (boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/123456/...). Leave it blank if there's no BGG page.

Your existing project

As it appears in the Studio address: studio.boardgamearena.com/studiogame?game=yourgame.
Who owns the project now? Required
We confirm this before you pay. An abandoned project needs the original developer's OK, or BGA to transfer it to you.
Salvage it or replace it? Required
Your first choice. We send you an assessment of the project before we change anything, and you can change your mind then. The price is the same either way.
2. Files
The page count is part of the price. Remove blank or unrelated pages first.
Filled in from your PDF when we can read it. We count the pages again when you continue.
Best: your manufacturer's print-ready files (one page or image per card, fronts and backs named to match). A print-and-play PDF works too. PDF, PNG, JPEG, WebP, or ZIP, up to 30 files of up to 450 MB each.
FAQ, player aid, solo or variant rules, as PDFs. No extra charge.
Up to 3 phone photos of a game in progress. We use them to lay out the BGA table like yours; the art always comes from your print files.
3. Details for the BGA listing

These go on your game's Board Game Arena page. Everything here is optional for now. Items marked Needed for public alpha must be included to reach public alpha. We will follow up later if not included during the initial build.

A web address for the BGA page's buy button.
Is the game licensed to Board Game Arena? Required
We can build and test without it, but BGA only takes licensed games past private alpha. The publisher registers the game at boardgamearena.com/gamepublishers.
The box top, plus the sides and back if you have them (up to 6 files). We make BGA's box image, icon, and banner from them.
4. You and payment
We send your order confirmation, the rules questions, and the table video here.
A quick automatic check that you're not a bot. Most people don't have to click anything.

You'll see the exact total, and can add a coupon, on the next page before you pay.
