    BGG Forum

    We’re excited to announce the BGG Forums feature! You can now view your game’s BoardGameGeek forum discussions directly inside Boardssey.

    • Automatically syncs BGG forum posts for your games every 6 hours
    • Displays discussions with rich formatting (quotes, images, links)
    • Notifies you when new posts are published (check the bell icon)
    • Lets you search and filter by title and post type (Review, Reply, Session, etc.)

    How to Use

    1. Add a BGG link to any game (e.g., https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/357873)
    2. Boardssey automatically creates the RSS feed
    3. New posts sync every 6 hours
    4. Open the new BGG Forums tab on your game page to browse discussions

    Stay connected to the BGG conversation without leaving your workflow.

  2. 🎨 New: Sell Sheet Designer

    New Feature

    Because "I'll figure out Canva later" is how games die in your drafts folder.

    Sell Sheet Designer turns your game data into publisher-ready pitch materials automatically. No design skills required, no starting from scratch, no more embarrassing PDFs.

    4

    What it does

    • Auto-populates from your game's existing data (description, player count, hooks, components)
    • Includes multiple professional templates designed for publisher expectations
    • Exports print-ready PDFs with bleed and crop marks
    • Supports multiple sell sheets per game for different audiences
    • Includes the ability to add QRs & barcodes

    How to use

    1. Go to your game's Sell Sheets tab
    2. Choose a template
    3. Click "Start Designing"
    4. Select a game you want to design a sell sheet for
    5. Customize text and images as needed (all the game data and media is under Game Data tab)
    6. Export as PDF, PNG, or save for later

    Look professional to publishers from day one, even if you've never touched design software.

  3. 🔔 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
