Board Game Arena (BGA)

Board Game Arena (BGA) is the world's leading online board gaming platform, allowing users to play hundreds of tabletop games directly from their web browsers. Originally founded in France in 2010, the platform was created to provide a high-quality, accessible environment for both casual and competitive board gamers globally. The service operates on a digital infrastructure maintained primarily in Europe.

In early 2021, the French founders Greg Isabelli and Emmanuel Colin sold the company to Asmodee, one of the largest board game publishers in the world. This acquisition integrated BGA into a massive ecosystem of tabletop gaming brands. Since 2022, Asmodee and its subsidiaries, including Board Game Arena, have been under the ultimate ownership of the Embracer Group, a Swedish media conglomerate that expanded aggressively into the gaming sector. Following a corporate restructuring announced by Embracer Group in 2024-2025, Asmodee (including BGA) is positioned as a key standalone entity within their global portfolio.
