It’s been a busy month for the Re:Union team, taking over management of Altered on Board Game Arena, running our community-focused new Format Contest and bringing new website functions online!

Players can now import their altered.gg collections to their Altered Re:Union accounts, marking another milestone on the project’s Roadmap in April.

Two new formats will be added to Board Game Arena for this season as the May Formats Contest has come to a close.

It's an important moment for the community. On May 20, Altered Re:Union officially took over Altered on BGA — a fully volunteer team picking up the torch and keeping the game alive. And we’re not stopping there: it’s now up to you, the players, to shape what comes next.

Learn about the Altered formats that will be available on Board Game Arena when Altered Re:Union takes over management of the game May 20.

The Altered Re:Union project will officially take over management of the game on Board Game Arena when altered.gg’s services shut down. Online play will continue, but we’ve got a few updates including our new website!

A huge thank you to the entire community! 🎉 The first Starter Deck Contest organized by Altered Re:Union has come to a close — what a success! With 187 deck submissions, over 110 voters retained and 4795 votes casted, the community showed up in full force for this first major creative event.

With altered.gg’s user-facing platform shutting down on May 20, 2026, we’re coordinating with several community developers and the Re:Union team to help you preserve what you’ve built — your decks, and as much of your collection as possible. This article covers what you can and should do today, and where we are on the harder question of card digital ownership. This is a difficult situation that many players feel deeply about, and we’re doing everything we can to help.

Hey Altered Re:Union! Submissions are closed and it’s time to vote! Let’s find the best Starter Decks for our Heroes!
