one above arena

Board games. Together, online.

The arena is our platform for board games in the browser. Open a table, invite friends, start playing – together in one evening or move by move over days.

What makes the arena

One evening or over days

Play live all at once, or move by move whenever it suits everyone. You set the time per move.

Only you see your cards

The server checks every move and sends each player only their own view. No cheating through the browser.

Every match as a replay

Replay any match move by move and share it by link.

Learn by playing

Tutorials run right on the board. Instead of reading the rulebook first, you just start playing.

Voice chat at the table

Talk like at a real table, right in the match and without an extra tool.

Friends without an account

Anyone invited by link joins straight away, no sign-up needed.

Every game looks like itself

In the arena, every game brings its own rules and its own interface. There is no one-size-fits-all form for every game, but a table that fits the game. The platform takes care of everything around it: tables, invitations, time and replays.

You design games yourself?

With our open SDK (MIT licence, on nuget.org) you build games for the arena and test them locally. If you'd rather have help, make your prototype playable with the nexus.
