Board Game Arena on iPhone and iPad

A phone is convenient for a quick turn. A crowded board is less convenient. Start with the right view before joining a timed table.

Start in your browser

Open Board Game Arena in an up-to-date browser and sign in to your BGA account. On iPhone or iPad, Safari is one option. You can use the website directly; BGA Pocket is an independent browser app, not a required BGA account or subscription.

Make room for the board

Try landscape for wide boards. Zoom in to read a card, then zoom back out to check the shared area and other players. If text and artwork no longer line up, restore the view and reload the page before taking another action.

What BGA Pocket adds

BGA Pocket brings table switching, display controls and native panels to supported pages. The game itself remains a webpage. If a native control cannot handle a particular screen, switch to the original website view in the app.
