Boardgame Craft Documentation
Everything you need to design a board game, build the pieces, and play it with friends â all in your browser.
What is Boardgame Craft?
Boardgame Craft is a web tool for making and playtesting board games. You design cards and components, drop them onto a 3D table, and invite friends to play with you online â no printing, no downloads.
đ¨ Design once, reuse everywhere
Build one card template, and every card in your deck uses it automatically. Change the template later and all your cards update at once. That means less busywork and more time testing your game idea.
đ˛ Test your game the same day you design it
The 3D simulator gives you a virtual table with cards, decks, dice, tokens, and more. Save your table setup, open a multiplayer room, and share the room code â your friends join right from their browser.
