    We just launched the Boardssey Community on Discord, and you're invited!

    We're building a space to talk game design, share your creative process, swap playtesting stories, and weigh in on what Boardssey builds next. Whether you're deep into development or just getting started, there's a seat for you.

    The community is brand new, so the people who join now get to help shape what it becomes. We'd love for that to be you.

  2. Going to GAMA Expo?

    GAMA expo

    Hey! I'm Anca, one of the co-founders of Boardssey.

    I'll be at GAMA Expo in Louisville from March 1-5, and I'd love to connect with you face-to-face.

    I enjoy meeting the creators using Boardssey in person, and I'd genuinely love to hear about your game, your process, and what's on your mind. Whether it's feedback, questions, or just swapping stories over coffee, I'm in!

    Let's make it happen. Schedule a time →

  3. ✨ What's New in Boardssey

    Improvement
    New Feature
    Fix
    Announcement

    You know that feeling when you crack open a new game and discover cool mechanics? Yeah, we just did that to Boardssey.

    We've shipped a bunch of updates that'll keep you in creative flow (and maybe make you say "oh, THAT'S nice" a few times).

    Quick highlights:

    • New creator tools that'll save you hours
    • Features you literally asked for (we listen!)
    • Workflow upgrades that... work

    Less tool-switching. More game-making. That's the vibe.

  4. Introducing the Playtest Dashboard

    Improvement

    You finally have proof. Not vibes. Not gut feelings. Actual data.

    Playtest Dashboard

    The new Playtest Dashboard turns raw playtest feedback into clear, actionable insights. See how players engage, where time is spent, who’s winning (and why), and how your game really performs across versions and formats.

    What you can visualize and explore:

    • Engagement, completion, and win rates
    • Setup, rules, and playtime breakdowns
    • Player count, roles, and turn order impact
    • Score distributions and trends
    • Physical vs digital performance

    For accurate analysis, make sure your playtest sessions are fully filled in. Better data means better insights. Less guessing. Fewer arguments. Better decisions

    Your playtests were already valuable. Now they’re loud about it.

  8. 🔔 New: Pitch Reminders

    Improvement

    Because “I’ll follow up later” is a lie we all tell ourselves.

    Pitch Reminders make sure you never miss the right moment to follow up with someone. Set a reminder on any pitch and Boardssey will nudge you when it’s time. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no awkwardly late emails.

    What it does

    • Automatically calculates reminders based on your last interaction

    • Sends both in-app and email notifications

    • Shows a 🔔 bell icon directly on pitches with active reminders

    How to use

    1. Go to a game’s Pitches tab

    2. Click the ••• menu of the chosen pitch row

    3. Choose how many days after your last interaction you want to follow up

    4. Save it and forget about it (we won’t)

    Stay organized, stay consistent, stay on top of your pitches.

    Pitch Reminders are now live in Boardssey!

    Improvement

    You can now connect your Google Calendar to Boardssey and see your personal events right alongside project tasks and industry events in the Projects Calendar. Everything in one place, so planning stops being a guessing game.

    What it does

    • Brings your Google Calendar events into the Projects Calendar

    • Shows personal commitments next to tasks and industry dates

    • Helps you plan work around real availability, not optimism

    How to use

    1. Open a project and go to the Calendar tab

    2. Click Manage Calendars

    3. Connect your Google account

    4. Activate the calendars you want to display
