Board Buddy helps you organise game nights, find people to play with and chat with other players.

Board Buddy is the second version of the MVP I built at school. I’m still developing it and plan to release a mobile app.

I built Board Buddy to bring more people to the table and help the board gaming community grow. Playing together gives you a chance to meet new people, make friends and find a group for your next game night.

When plans for a game night are scattered across group messages, it’s easy to lose track of who’s coming or whether there’s room for another player. In Board Buddy, each meetup has a page with the time, location, player list and substitute spots. The app recommends meetups based on your favourite games, your experience level and who you’re friends with.

How it works

  1. Find a game in the catalogue or choose a recommended meetup on the home screen.
  2. Open the meetup, check the time and available spots, select your experience level and join as a player or substitute.
  3. Once you join, use the meetup chat to coordinate with the other players. If you host your own game, you can set the number of player and substitute spots.
