I just wanted to share this amazing platform for playing board games online.
It has a huge selection of games, with good translations to many languages.
Love the concept; are they open source? Would love to get gaming further away from the big companies. If it’s “free” now, how are users paying for it, with data? Ads? We’ve seen a well documented history of enshittification so before I dump time into a platform that’s my 1a question.
In general, no the site is not open source. There are however some games whose implementation is public under various licenses. A few examples:

Interesting but I don’t see any dungeon crawlers.
Hm, yeah I can’t think of any from the top of my head. I guess the site’s format works best for euros and the audience seems to be geared towards that too.
I love bga, I should really be more active on there instead of doom scrolling.
But playing against strangers is scary 😄
Btw my username on bga is Marcel80
