Board Game Arena's main goal is to promote board games to a large audience. This is the reason why the service is free for everyone, and meant to stay that way.

As you can imagine, though, this website needs a lot of time and some money to keep things running smoothly. Some players are helping us with contributions or through donations. This website can exist only because of the help from these players, and to thank them we make them members of the "Board Game Arena Club".

The three main ways to become a club member are:


Donate 20€
