About BoardGrid

Everything BoardGrid does for your board game group

BoardGrid is a cosy home for board game groups: it digitises everyone's collection into one shared shelf, organises the meetups and votes around it, and keeps the stats from every game night you play. There are no public profiles or feeds; use it solo, with a partner, or with a group, and your plays stay between the people at your table.

Yours first

Your personal gaming hub

You don't need a group to get value from BoardGrid. Track your own collection, log your own plays and keep your own rules notes; then bring in others only if and when you want to.

  • Your personal shelf

    Title, year, player count, playing time, complexity, plays and your rating; all in one tidy list you can search instantly.

  • Rules summaries

    Write a rules summary or teaching notes on any game; perfect for refreshing your memory or teaching the game at the table. Your notes follow you into your groups, and if more than one member writes a summary for the same game you can switch between them.

  • BoardGameGeek import

    Upload your BGG collection export to add everything in one go, and re-import later to refresh details and play counts.

  • Duplicate tidy-up

    Spot and merge duplicate entries so your shelf stays clean after multiple imports.

The group shelf

What the group can play, always up to date

As soon as a member adds a game to their collection, it appears on the shared group shelf, with their name and avatar beside it, so you know exactly who to ask to bring it along.

  • One combined library

    Browse everything your group owns between you, filtered by owner or searched by title.

  • Vote on the next game

    Those same games become the shortlist for an upcoming meetup. Members vote for what they fancy and the tally is there for everyone to see.

  • Right game, right group size

    Player counts and playing times on every card make it easy to pick something that suits the night.

  • Group-owned games

    Add games the group owns collectively, and let a member claim one when they take it home.

Meetups

Game nights without the group-chat chaos

Set up a meetup with a date, time and venue, and let everyone RSVP in one place instead of scrolling back through messages.

  • Meetups with RSVPs

    Members reply going, maybe or not going, so you always know your player count in advance.

  • Comments in context

    Plans, lifts and last-minute changes stay attached to the meetup they belong to.

  • Next event at a glance

    Your group page always shows what is coming up next, so nothing gets forgotten.

  • Log the plays afterwards

    Record what you actually played on the night; individually, in teams, co-operatively, or as a campaign session with no winners.

Group stats

Wins, win rates and rivalries

Log a play in seconds and BoardGrid keeps the running record. Over time you build a proper history of your group instead of half-remembered bragging rights.

  • Most wins leaderboard

    See who tops the group table, all-time or over a period you choose.

  • Win percentages

    Wins as a share of games played, per player and per game, with campaign sessions left out so form is measured fairly.

  • Search and filter the log

    Search any game title, or filter by the players at the table, a date range, play mode, winner, co-op result, venue or who logged it; across your group's entire play history, however far back it goes.

  • Trends and favourites

    Monthly play activity, most played games and the titles your group keeps coming back to.

  • Partner and rival stats

    How you fare alongside each teammate and against each opponent, with head-to-head win–loss records for every pairing at your table.

  • Versatility and streaks

    See who wins across the widest range of games, and who keeps turning up: attendance streaks track consecutive weeks played, current and best.

  • Whose games get played

    See which member's collection is getting the most table time, how many of their games have actually been played, and their share of the group's plays.

  • Form by player count

    Your personal insights break your win rate down from two-player duels to a full five-plus table, so you know which size of game suits you.

Groups & privacy

Built for your table, not for an audience

BoardGrid scales with your table. Use it solo, start a private group with just your partner or a few friends, or run a busy club night; either way, what happens in the group stays in the group. There are no public profiles, no feeds, and nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.

  • Private by default

    Your personal plays are only visible to you. A group's members, game nights, shelf, plays and stats are locked to its members; anyone else sees only the group's name, description and where it meets.

  • Invite by code

    Share a short invite code or link and members join straight into the group.

  • Optional public listing

    List your group so nearby players can discover it by town or venue, or keep it entirely invisible.

  • Complexity at a glance

    Weight ratings on every game help you match the night to the crowd, newcomers included.
