When launching the game on Board Game Arena, the 6 starter decks from Beyond the Gates are always available. But if you want to play one of your own decks, you will need to synchronize your BGA and Altered accounts.
Synchronizing your Board Game Arena account with your Altered account
To import your decks in Board Game Arena, first you need to synchronize your BGA and Altered accounts. Here’s how to connect your Altered and Board Game arena accounts in 4 easy steps:
Start a game
Now that your BGA and Altered accounts are linked, you will get the option to choose one of your own decks when starting a game. To start a game, check the following instructions.
Once the game starts, select the deck you want to play with. All six Starter Decks are available, but if you want to play with one of your own decks, select Custom decks. It must be a legal 40-card deck in order to import it.
Tip for mobile players
When playing on mobile, switch your phone to landscape orientation and select the full screen view in the upper right-hand corner. Then lock the view with the lock button to enjoy the best BGA game experience.
We hope you have tons of fun playing with your decks on Board Game Arena and that everyone who’s been wanting to try the game can now easily do so!
