Invite friends to a Board Game Arena table

Being friends, joining a table and confirming the match are separate steps. Knowing which invitation you received makes starting a game much easier.

Set up the table first

Choose a game, player count and pace. Use the table’s friend invitation or share its link with the people you want to play with. Check who has joined and keep the table private if you do not want other players to enter.

Accept the right request

A friend request connects two accounts; it does not join a game. A table invitation opens a particular room. A final confirmation may still be required before the match starts. In BGA Pocket, use Friends & invitations and check the game and players before accepting.

If an invitation is missing

Make sure both people are using the intended BGA accounts and that the table is still open. Refresh the invitations or open the original website. Premium requirements and other access restrictions are decided by BGA, not by BGA Pocket.
