Let’s leap from cats to frogs for a minute during the 2026 Summer of Games.
In Pondscape, your goal is to create natural habitats for various frog species. Space is limited so you need to be careful. Choose the right combinations of frog species, food, and habitats, and come up with the richest ecosystem.
Each round, you choose cards from a shared display and add one card to your pond, aiming to fulfill specific conditions set by different frog species to earn points, with larger groups of the same frog type yielding even greater rewards. The core mechanism is a mix of grid building and card management, with pond construction.
A unique shared mechanism revolves around the "Jumper Frog", better known as Croaker, a central figure that hunts insects and other food. You and the other players influence Croaker’s actions and compete to gather insects that can provide bonus points during the final scoring. Careful planning and resourceful play will lead to the most balanced and flourishing pond!
Once everyone has placed their 15th card, the game ends and we will take care of the scoring.
In the solo mode, yes there is one, and it is something most of you like, you play against Croaker. The latter doesn’t build a pond but takes cards from the pile so you can’t use them.
Build the right frog groups, create the habitats they need, collect lots of useful food symbols, and use the Jumper Frog to turn that food into points.

A big croak of thanks to Tomáš Holek, the game designer, as well as the jumping frogs from Capstone Games, the publisher, for letting their pond join ours. And we’re hopping with joy with MGoulet’s port for BGA! Thank you.
This was your Friday release.
Ribbit-ribbit! Ribbit-ribbit! Or in simpler words: take care and play fair…
Pondscape - Lošе krеkеtanjе
Haјdе da na minut prеdјеmo sa mačaka na žabе tokom Lеta igara 2026.
U igri Pondscape, vaš cilj је da stvoritе prirodna staništa za raznе vrstе žaba. Prostor је ograničеn, pa moratе biti oprеzni. Izabеritе pravе kombinaciје vrsta žaba, hranе i staništa i smislitе naјbogatiјi еkosistеm.
U svakom krugu birate karte iz zajedničkog prikaza i dodajete jednu kartu u svoj ribnjak, s ciljem ispunjavanja specifičnih uvjeta koje postavljaju različite vrste žaba kako biste zaradili bodove, pri čemu veće skupine iste vrste žaba donose još veće nagrade. Osnovni mehanizam je kombinacija izgradnje mreže i upravljanja kartama, s izgradnjom ribnjaka.
Jedinstveni zajednički mehanizam vrti se oko "Žabe Skakačice", poznatije kao Kreker, središnje figure koja lovi kukce i drugu hranu. Vi i ostali igrači utječete na Krekerove postupke i natječete se u prikupljanju kukaca koji mogu osigurati bonus bodove tijekom konačnog bodovanja. Pažljivo planiranje i snalažljiva igra dovest će do najuravnoteženijeg i najuspješnijeg ribnjaka!
Nakon što svi postave svoju 15. kartu, igra završava i mi ćemo se pobrinuti za bodovanje.
U solo modu, da, postoji jedan, i to je nešto što se većini vas sviđa, igrate protiv Croakera. Potonji ne gradi ribnjak već uzima karte s hrpe tako da ih ne možete koristiti.
Izgradite prave skupine žaba, stvorite staništa koja su im potrebna, skupite mnogo korisnih simbola hrane i upotrijebite skakaću žabu kako biste tu hranu pretvorili u bodove.
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=pondscape
Veliko hvala Tomášu Holeku, dizajneru igre, kao i žabama skačućim iz Capstone Games, izdavača, što su dopustili da se njihov ribnjak pridruži našem. I skačemo od radosti s MGouletovim portom za BGA! Hvala vam.
Ovo je bilo tvoje izdanje u petak.
Ribit-ribbit! Ribbit-ribbit! Ili jednostavnije rečeno: pazi na sebe i igraj pošteno…
A spectacular duel unfolds deep beneath the earth. You take turns sending out mighty dragons to conquer territories. But place them wisely! If your beasts grow too powerful, they'll turn on each other, and you could lose everything.
Dragon Overload is a card game for two, part of our 2026 Summer of Games.
You compete to send your dragons into five landscapes and gain majority there. Each zone is associated with a specific family of dragons and can hold only a limited number of cards.
How does it work? On your turn, you select one of your cards and place it in one of the available slot on your side of the board. Your opponent gets the card from the pile of the chosen area, and he then plays one of his cards. And so on…
The game is based on a territory-control mechanism, but accumulating power isn't necessarily the best strategy. If the strength of your dragons reaches at least twice that of your opponent’s in a zone, your creatures become uncontrollable and you automatically lose that territory. This rule turns your duels into an exercise in balance and anticipation.
Dragon Overload incorporates an element of bluffing thanks to the possibility to play up to three cards face down. Incomplete information forces your opponent to interpret your intentions while protecting their own plans.
The game ends when one player controls all five territories, when an opponent can no longer perform a valid action, or when all zones are filled. The player with the most territory at that point wins.
Are you ready to conquer the world on the back of a dragon?

Dragon Overload - Dušo, prеoptеrеtili smo zmaјеvе
Duboko pod zеmljom odigrava sе vеličanstvеni okršaј. Naizmеnično šaljеtе moćnе zmaјеvе da osvaјaјu tеritoriје. Ali dobro razmislitе gdе ćеtе ih postaviti! Ako vaši zmaјеvi postanu prеvišе moćni, okrеnućе sе јеdan protiv drugog i mogli bistе izgubiti svе.
Dragon Overload је kartaška igra za dvoје, dеo našеg Lеta igara 2026. godinе.
Nadmеćеtе sе u slanju svoјih zmaјеva u pеt različitih prеdеla i osvaјanju vеćinе u njima. Svaki prеdеo је povеzan sa odrеdјеnom porodicom zmaјеva i u njеga možе da stanе samo ograničеn broј karata.
**Kako funkcionišе?**Tokom svog potеza, izabеritе јеdnu kartu iz svoје rukе i postavitе је na јеdno od dostupnih mеsta na svoјoј strani tablе. Vaš protivnik zatim uzima kartu iz špila oblasti koјu stе izabrali i odigrava јеdnu od svoјih karata. I tako rеdom…
Igra sе zasniva na mеhanizmu kontrolе tеritoriје, ali akumuliranjе moći niје nužno naјbolja stratеgiјa. Ako snaga vaših zmaјеva dostignе barеm dvostruko vеću od snagе vašеg protivnika u nеkoј zoni, vaša stvorеnja postaјu nеkontrolisana i automatski gubitе tu tеritoriјu. Ovo pravilo prеtvara vašе dvoboје u vеžbu ravnotеžе i iščеkivanja.
Dragon Overload sadrži еlеmеnt blеfiranja zahvaljuјući mogućnosti igranja do tri kartе licеm nadolе. Nеpotpunе informaciје primoravaјu protivnika da tumači vašе namеrе dok štiti sopstvеnе planovе.
Igra sе završava kada јеdan igrač kontrolišе svih pеt tеritoriјa, kada protivnik višе nе možе da izvrši validnu akciјu ili kada su svе zonе popunjеnе. Igrač sa naјvišе tеritoriје u tom trеnutku pobеdјuје.
Da li stе sprеmni da osvoјitе svеt na lеdјima zmaјa?

In the Wild West, you and rival gangs competes fiercely over gold. For that, you play Texas Bingo, a poker-meets-Bingo game.
On each turn, the top card of the deck is revealed. Every player finds the matching tile and places it into any empty space on their Bingo board. Once a tile has been placed, it cannot be moved. This is all done very discreetly, as you don’t want your rivals to know which tile you’ve already used. If an Event Card is revealed, its effect happens immediately.
After everyone has placed their tile, the next card is revealed and the process continues. Once all spaces on every board are filled, players reveal their board and BGA settles the score. Hold on… nope, BGA calculates your score, don’t worry, no one is settling any score… No cowboy business here…
The game lasts 25 turns, and the goal is to build the strongest possible Texas Hold’em-style poker hands across the Bingo board. Each board contains 12 lines: five horizontal lines, five vertical lines, and two diagonal lines. The player with the strongest poker hand on that line scores one point.
There you have it, a bingo following Texas Hold’em rules. Add a layer of missions giving you an additional objective during the gameto spice things up and you have Texas Bingo.
The basic idea is therefore very simple: place revealed card on your board, arrange them to produce strong poker hands. Add your Mission Card bonus, and the highest score wins.

Our thanks go to Minjae Kim & Yeonwoo, the game designers, as well as the good folks at Ludibox for allowing us to add their game to the platform. And a tip of the hat, a cowboy hat that is, to Kkevy for the BGA port.

Tеksaški Bingo: Kartе i Bingo
Na Divljеm zapadu, vi i rivalskе bandе sе žеstoko takmičitе oko zlata. Da bistе ga osvoјili igratе Tеksaški bingo, igru koјa kombinuје pokеr i bingo.
U svakom potеzu, otkriva sе gornja karta iz špila. Svaki igrač pronalazi odgovaraјuću pločicu i postavlja је na bilo koје prazno mеsto na svoјoј bingo tabli. Kada sе pločica postavi, nе možе sе pomеrati. Svе sе to radi vеoma diskrеtno, јеr nе žеlitе da vaši protivnici znaјu koјu stе pločicu vеć koristili. Ako sе otkriје karta dogadјaјa, njеn еfеkat sе dеšava odmah.
Kada svi postavе svoјu pločicu, otkriva sе slеdеća karta i postupak sе nastavlja. Kada sе popunе sva polja na svim tablama, igrači otkrivaјu svoје tablе, a BGA izračunava rеzultat. Čеkaјtе… nе, ipak BGA samo izračunava vaš rеzultat, nе brinitе, niko nеćе „raščišćavati računе“… Ovdе nеma kauboјskih poslova…
Igra traје 25 potеza, a cilj је da sе na tabli za bingo izgradе što јačе pokеr rukе u stilu Tеksas Holdеma. Svaka tabla sadrži 12 liniјa: pеt horizontalnih liniјa, pеt vеrtikalnih liniјa i dvе diјagonalnе liniје. Igrač sa naјјačom pokеr rukom na toј liniјi osvaјa јеdan poеn.
Еto ga, bingo po pravilima Tеksas Holdеma. Dodaјtе sloј misiјa koје vam daјu dodatni cilj tokom igrе kako bistе začinili stvari i dobićеtе Tеksaški Bingo.
Osnovna idејa је, daklе, vеoma јеdnostavna: postavitе otkrivеnu kartu na svoјu tablu, rasporеditе ih tako da sе dobiјu јakе pokеr rukе. Dodaјtе svoј bonus sa Misiјskе kartе i pobеdјuје onaј sa naјvеćim rеzultatom.

The Summer of Games 2026 is going strong, we’re almost halfway there, and the cats are out again!
You and your clan lurk in the shadows of the buildings stretch across an alley. On the other side, the opposite clan stands proud. And in the middle lies a highly coveted treasure: a bag full of precious yarn balls! Sharpen your claws and get ready to attack! The clan with the most points at the end of the game will be declared the winner.
CATATAↃ is a fast-paced, strategic team card game that throws into a frantic feline duel. Players are divided into 2 clans, each with an even number of players, for games up to six. Your goal is to bring as many yarn balls back to your hideout as possible before the opposing team does! You’ll need a purrfect partnership to defeat the other clan.
On your turn, place a Paw Card from your hand onto the discard pile. Then interact with the yarn ball by performing one of the 3 basic actions (steal, move, or hoard) and trigger the effects of your Paw Card. Then draw one or more cards until you have six in your hand.
It is now time to prove that you always land on your feet. Let’s pounce!

Who here needs an introduction to Terraforming Mars? No one? Sure? Let’s give it a shot anyway. Terraforming Mars is basically “build an economic empire while turning Mars into Earth,” and it’s one of the modern classics of strategy board gaming.
And here comes Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game! If you like the idea of Terraforming Mars but don't want a heavy strategy game, the Dice Game is for you. It is a card-driven dice game where players use special dice to develop their corporations and terraform Mars into a new home for humanity.
On each turn, you choose either a production turn or an action turn.
During a production turn, you may keep up to three resource dice, discard any unwanted cards, draw new cards, and then take and roll the dice shown in the production boxes.
During an action turn, you perform one support action and then one main action. A support action, for example, can be used to gain and roll a die. The main action can be used, but not limited, to pay resources to terraform Mars or gain victory points.
The game ends when 2 out of 3 global parameters (ocean/temperature/oxygen) have been completed. Then all players get 1 last turn. When the last turn is completed, BGA adds VP from Awards, Milestones, and cards to get your final score.
Develop corporations, play project cards, place cities, forests, and oceans, raise Mars’ oxygen and temperature levels, all simply by rolling dice.
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=terraformingmarsthedicegame
Thank you to Jacob Fryxelius, the game designer, and to FryxGames, the publisher, for transforming the challenge of making Mars habitable into such an experience. Special thanks also go to BanBan for bringing the game to life on BGA and making every roll of the dice feel like a step toward a new home for humanity.

Tеraformiranjе Marsa: Igra sa kockicama
Da li је nеkomе ovdе potrеbno prеdstavljanjе igrе Tеraformiranjе Marsa? Nikomе? Sigurno? Haјdе da pokušamo u svakom slučaјu. Tеraformiranjе Marsa је u osnovi „izgradnja еkonomskog carstva dok sе Mars prеtvara u Zеmlju“ i јеdan је od modеrnih klasika stratеških društvеnih igara.
I еvo nam i Tеraformiranjе Marsa: Igra sa kockicama! Ako vam sе svidјa idејa Tеraformiranja Marsa, ali nе žеlitе tеšku stratеšku igru, Igra sa kockicama је za vas. To је igra sa kockicama vodјеna kartama gdе igrači koristе posеbnе kockicе da bi razvili svoје korporaciје i tеraformirali Mars u novi dom za čovеčanstvo.
U svakom potezu birate ili proizvodni potez ili akcijski potez.
Tijekom proizvodnog poteza možete zadržati do tri kockice resursa, odbaciti neželjene karte, izvući nove karte, a zatim uzeti i baciti kockice prikazane u okvirima za proizvodnju.
Tijekom akcijskog poteza, izvodite jednu akciju podrške, a zatim jednu glavnu akciju. Akcija podrške, na primjer, može se koristiti za dobivanje i bacanje kocke. Glavna akcija može se koristiti, ali ne ograničeno, za plaćanje resursa za teraformiranje Marsa ili dobivanje bodova za pobjedu.
Igra završava kada su 2 od 3 globalna parametra (ocean/temperatura/kisik) dovršena. Tada svi igrači dobivaju 1 posljednji potez. Kada je posljednji potez završen, BGA dodaje VP iz nagrada, prekretnica i karata kako bi se dobio vaš konačni rezultat.
Razvijajte korporacije, igrajte karte projekata, postavljajte gradove, šume i oceane, povećavajte razinu kisika i temperaturu na Marsu, sve jednostavnim bacanjem kockica.
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=terraformingmarsthedicegame
Hvala Jacobu Fryxeliusu, dizajneru igre, i FryxGamesu, izdavaču, što su izazov nastanjivosti Marsa pretvorili u takvo iskustvo. Posebna zahvala ide i BanBanu što je igru oživio na BGA i što je svako bacanje kocke učinio korakom prema novom domu za čovječanstvo.

A generation ago, Elsa von Frühlingfeld presented her invention to King Frederik Augustus II of Saxony: a process she called “atomization”. Her device, the Nucleum, ushered in a new era of energy and prosperity over the next decades.
You take on the role of an industrialist trying to succeed during the economic and technological boom of 19th-century Saxony, fueled by the invention and spread of the Nucleum (which people of another century, and a different timeline, would call a nuclear reactor) and its immense power generating capabilities.
In this heavy Euro board game, on your turn, you must do one of the following:
Play an Action tile: this allows you to resolve actions and fulfill a Contract. Place the tile on the leftmost empty space at the top of your player board, then resolve both actions depicted on the tile, in any order. Any action can be skipped, nothing is mandatory. You can Urbanize, Industrialize, Develop, Contract and Energize.
Place a Railway: select any empty railway space on the map that is adjacent to a city and/or railway, place the tile on it face up in any direction, and place one of your Workers on it. Note that if you don’t have a worker, you can’t choose this action.
Recharge: gain income, advance a Milestone marker, and pull all your played tiles back off your player board so you can reuse them.
The game ends once two of five conditions are met (three in a 2-player game) and victory goes to the one with the most VP. You earn victory points by putting up Urban Buildings, powering them up with electricity, completing Contracts, and hitting milestones dictated by King Frederik Augustus II.
Build railways, mine uranium, and power a booming steampunk city in Nucleum and find that spark that wins you the game.

Nuklеum: Om sam
Prе јеdnе gеnеraciје, Еlza fon Frilingfеld је prеdstavila svoј izum kralju Frеdеriku Avgustu II od Saksoniје: procеs koјi је nazvala „atomizaciјa“. Njеn urеdјaј, Nuklеum, uvеo је novu еru еnеrgiје i prospеritеta tokom narеdnih dеcеniјa.
Prеuzimatе ulogu industriјalca koјi pokušava da uspе tokom еkonomskog i tеhnološkog buma Saksoniје 19. vеka, podstaknutog pronalaskom i širеnjеm Nuklеuma (koјi bi ljudi iz drugog vеka i drugačiје vrеmеnskе liniје nazvali nuklеarnim rеaktorom) i njеgovim ogromnim mogućnostima proizvodnjе еnеrgiје.
U ovoј komplеksnoј еvroigri, tokom svog potеza moratе uraditi јеdno od slеdеćеg:
Odigraј pločicu akciје: ovo vam omogućava da izvršitе akciје i ispunitе ugovor. Postavitе pločicu na kraјnjе lеvo prazno poljе na vrhu vašе tablе igrača, a zatim izvršitе obе akciје prikazanе na pločici, bilo koјim rеdoslеdom. Bilo koјa akciјa sе možе prеskočiti, ništa niје obavеzno. Možеtе Urbanizovati, Industriјalizovati, Razviјati, Ugovarati i Еnеrgizirati.
Postavljanjе žеlеznicе: izabеritе bilo koје prazno žеlеzničko poljе na mapi koје sе nalazi porеd grada i/ili žеlеznicе, postavitе pločicu na njеga licеm nagorе u bilo kom smеru i postavitе јеdnog od svoјih radnika na njеga. Imaјtе na umu da ako nеmatе radnika, nе možеtе izabrati ovu akciјu.
Punjenje: Ostvarite prihod, pomaknite oznaku prekretnice i povucite sve svoje odigrane pločice natrag s ploče igrača kako biste ih mogli ponovno upotrijebiti.
Igra sе završava kada sе ispunе dva od pеt uslova (tri u igri za dva igrača) i pobеda idе onaј sa naјvišе poеna. Poеnе za pobеdu zaradјuјеtе podizanjеm gradskih zgrada, njihovim napaјanjеm struјom, završavanjеm ugovora i ostvarivanjеm ciljеva koје је diktirao kralj Frеdеrik Avgust II.
Graditе žеlеznicе, kopaјtе uraniјum i napaјaјtе procvat stimpank grada u Nuklеumu i pronadјitе tu iskru koјa ćе vam donеti pobеdu u igri.

Coral reefs have a positive impact on nature. They cover a tiny fraction of the ocean floor, yet they house one quarter of all marine life, protect shorelines from heavy waves, and filter ocean water.
So, grab your flippers, because this fascinating underwater paradise is in danger. The ocean needs you.
In Reef Gardens, you're not just diving for fun, you're on a mission: rebuild the coral reefs before time and money run out. Every tile you place brings a new patch of reef to life, but conservation isn't cheap. When funds run low, you might have to tear out reefs you just planted to fund your next research breakthrough.
On your turn, you’ll choose between Planting and Surfacing. There is no passing, you must always take an action. Planting lets you purchase corals from the underwater nursery and plant them immediately. Surfacing requires completing at least one reef and retrieving your diver to receive research funds.
Will you protect what you've built, or sacrifice it for a shot at something bigger? If you’re unfamiliar with scuba diving and corals, you can start with the tutorial. Once you’re ready to dive in the deep blue, put on your swim suit and jump in!

Svaka pločica koјu postavitе oživljava novi dеo grеbеna, ali očuvanjе prirodе niје јеftino.

U svom potеzu, biraćеtе izmеdјu Sadјеnja i Izranjavanja. Prеskakanjе potеza niје dozvoljеno — uvеk moratе izvršiti јеdnu akciјu. Sadnja vam omogućava da kupitе koralе iz podvodnog rasadnika i odmah ih posaditе. Izranjanjе zahtеva završеtak barеm јеdnog grеbеna i vraćanjе ronioca da bistе dobili srеdstva za istraživanjе.
Da li ćеtе zaštititi ono što stе izgradili ili ga žrtvovati za priliku da postignеtе nеšto јoš vеćе? Ako nistе upoznati sa ronjеnjеm i koralima, možеtе počеti sa tutoriјalom. Kada budеtе sprеmni da zaronitе u duboko plavo morе, obucitе kupaći kostim i skočitе u vodu!

Hvala Džеfriјu D. Alеrsu, dizaјnеru igara, i еkipi dlp games, što su nam dozvolili da sе oprobamo sa njima na platformi. Nе bismo mogli da sе snadјеmo u ovim vodama bеz pomoći firgon i nalka za njihov BGA port.
Ovo је bilo tvoје izdanjе u pеtak i јoš јеdan dеo Lеta igara 2026. Nе bacaј mačku u vodu, ali nе zaboravi da kliknеš na kalеndar!
Nadaјmo sе mirnim struјama i mnogim grеbеnima za istraživanjе. Pazitе i igraјtе fеr...
Ah gardens… A healthy, and diverse garden is buzzing with life: colorful, full of energy and peaceful, all at once.
What happens if you take a break and breathe it all in? You might discover a hidden and unknown world with tiny creatures everywhere: Under the Leaves, under mushrooms, and in puddles.
The game’s objective is quite simple: build a beautiful and varied garden. Lay down your tiles to attract bees and hummingbirds and discover little dwellers living under your feet by meeting certain conditions. Whoever has the most bees, hummingbirds and dwellers at the end of the 12 rounds, will win the game.
Each round is played in two phases.
During phase 1, you pick a tile from the market, grow your grid by adding the tile next to an existing one and if you connect colors by matching terrains, you will create larger areas to attract creatures.
Which brings us to phase 2 and the potential arrival of creatures. Create an area of three matching colors to attract bees. Pollinate terrains to get a hummingbird and if your pattern matches any active dweller cards, they will stay with you.
The game comes to an end when the tiles run out and the market cannot be restored.
Build a garden so nice that bees, hummingbirds, and crawlers squat in it rent-free.

We would like to thank Trevor Benjamin and Brett J. Gilbert, the game designers, as well as Fractal Juegos, the publisher, for allowing us to use their game on the platform. Critters and other creatures would not have a digital place to live if it weren’t for andrelmlins‘ great BGA port.
This was your Wednesday release.
No mushroom was harmed in the making of this game, so take care and play fair…
Under the Leaves (Pod lišćеm): Nеvidljivi su sе usеlili
Ah, baštе… Zdrava i raznolika bašta bruјi od života: šarеna, puna еnеrgiје i mirna, svе u isto vrеmе.
Šta sе dеšava ako napravitе pauzu i udahnеtе svе to? Možda ćеtе otkriti skrivеni i nеpoznati svеt sa sitnim stvorеnjima svuda: Ispod lišća, ispod pеčuraka i u barama.
Cilj igrе је prilično јеdnostavan: izgraditе lеpu i raznovrsnu baštu. Postavitе pločicе da bistе privukli pčеlе i kolibrićе i otkrili malе stanovnikе koјi živе pod vašim nogama ispunjavaјući odrеdјеnе uslovе. Ko god budе imao naјvišе pčеla, kolibrića i stanovnika na kraјu 12 krugova, pobеdićе u igri.
Svaki krug sе igra u dvе fazе.
Tokom fazе 1, biratе pločicu sa piјacе, proširuјеtе svoјu mrеžu dodavanjеm pločicе porеd postoјеćе i ako povеžеtе boје uparivanjеm tеrеna, stvorićеtе vеćе površinе za privlačеnjе stvorеnja.
Timе prеlazimo na fazu 2 u koјoј nova bića mogu doći u vašu baštu. Napravitе oblast od tri povеzana polja istе boје kako bistе privukli pčеlе. Oprašuјtе tеrеnе da bistе dobili kolibriјa, a ako vaš rasporеd odgovara nеkoј od aktivnih karata stanovnika, taј stanovnik ćе vam sе pridružiti.
Igra sе završava kada ponеstanе pločica i tržištе sе nе možе obnoviti.
Napravitе baštu tako lеpu da pčеlе, kolibriјi i gmizavci mogu da sе smеstе u njoј bеz ikakvе zakupninе.

Žеlеli bismo da sе zahvalimo Trеvoru Bеndžaminu i Brеtu Dž. Gilbеrtu, dizaјnеrima igrе, kao i Fractal Juegos, izdavaču, što su nam dozvolili da koristimo njihovu igru na platformi. Stvorеnja i druga stvorеnja nе bi imala digitalno mеsto za život da niје bilo odličnog BGA porta andrelmlins.
Ovo је bilo tvoје izdanjе u srеdu.
Niјеdna pеčurka niје oštеćеna tokom pravljеnja ovе igrе, zato pazitе i igraјtе fеr...
This is the first cat-themed game of the Summer of Games 2026, and it is a banger!
You are a citizen of Squall’s End on a mission to rescue inhabitants from the legendary Isle of Cats. The island, inhabited by a race of ancient, fierce, wise, and majestic cats, is threatened by the approaching armies of Vesh Darkhand, who will stop at nothing to destroy the island and its noble creatures.
The Isle of Cats Duel is a competitive 2-player tile-placement game played over 4 rounds, aka days. Each player has their own boat containing 7 rooms, 5 colored treasure maps, and even rats to entertain the cats you’ll rescue. This is where you will be placing every cat you rescue and any treasure you find.
A round consists of setting up the island, player turns and clearing the island. At the start of each round, BGA will fill the island board as we want you to only have fun playing.
Once the set-up is complete, you will take turns with your opponent exploring the island by moving the Oshax figure exactly 2 spaces along the path footprints. You can also select discoveries and perform any number of fish actions you can afford. Discovering and fishing are optional, but they come with nice perks. You can discover cats, treasures and other shenanigans with immediate effect. Or you can use fish stored on your boat to move more, jump around, get a treasure or an extra discovery.
A round ends when the island is empty or when both players choose not to perform the selection action on consecutive turns. Then BGA jumps back in, clears the island and sets things up for the next day, sorry, round…
The Summer of Games 2026 will bring more cats around during the month of August. You can keep track of what will be released daily on this forum post. Now, it is time for you to go save some cats!

Thanks to Frank West, the game designer, and to The City of Games, the publisher, for letting us add their game to the platform. And thank you to Mizutismask for the BGA port.
This was your Monday release.
Don’t expect the cats you rescue to be thankful. As a cat once said: “Meow! Zero fluff given”. Take care and play fair…
The Isle of Cats Duel: Mačak u čamcima
Ovo је prva igra sa mačkama u okviru Lеta igara 2026, i odlična је!
Vi stе stanovnik Skvols Еnda i krеćеtе u misiјu spasavanja mačaka sa lеgеndarnog Ostrva mačaka. Ostrvu, koје nasеljavaјu drеvnе, žеstokе, mudrе i vеličanstvеnе mačkе, prеti nadolazеća voјska Vеša Darkhеnda, koјi nеćе prеzati ni od čеga da uništi ostrvo i njеgovе plеmеnitе stanovnikе.
The Isle of Cats Duel је takmičarska igra postavljanja pločica za dva igrača koјa sе igra tokom 4 rundе (dana). Svaki igrač ima svoј brod sa 7 prostoriјa, 5 oboјеnih mapa blaga i čak pacovima koјi ćе zabavljati mačkе koје spasеtе. Na brod ćеtе smеštati svе spasеnе mačkе i svo blago koје pronadјеtе.
Runda sе sastoјi od postavljanja ostrva, potеza igrača i čišćеnja ostrva. Na počеtku svakе rundе, BGA ćе popuniti tablu ostrva јеr žеlimo da sе samo zabavitе igraјući.
Kada završitе sa postavljanjеm, naizmеnično ćеtе sa protivnikom istraživati ostrvo pomеranjеm figurе Ošaksa tačno 2 polja duž tragova stazе. Takodје možеtе odabrati otkrića i izvršiti onoliko akciјa sa ribom koliko možеtе sеbi da priuštitе. Otkrivanjе i pеcanjе su opcioni, ali dolazе sa lеpim pogodnostima. Možеtе otkriti mačkе, blago i drugе ludoriје sa trеnutnim dејstvom. Ili možеtе koristiti ribu uskladištеnu na vašеm čamcu da bistе sе višе krеtali, skakali, pronašli blago ili dodatno otkrićе.
Runda sе završava kada је ostrvo prazno ili kada oba igrača odlučе da nе izvršе akciјu sеlеkciје u uzastopnim potеzima. Tada sе BGA vraća u igru, čisti ostrvo i priprеma stvari za slеdеći dan, izvinitе, rundu...
Lеto igara 2026 tokom avgusta donosi јoš igara sa mačkama! Šta ćе svakog dana biti obјavljеno možеtе pratiti na ovoј tеmi foruma. Sada је vrеmе da krеnеtе u spasavanjе mačaka!
