About Cardboard Companion

On the explore page you can discover new games that are curated for you, find new and trending releases, or browse games based on categories and mechanics. With powerful search and filter tools, you can easily find just the game you’re looking for. You can also search publishers, artists, designers, and people in the board gaming community. On a board game detail page, you can see a game’s rating and difficulty, bookmark it for later, read reviews, see photos, and even purchase the game.
– TOOLS TO HELP YOU PLAY
Cardboard Companion has a number of handy tools to use while you play. Our first player chooser, scorekeeper, coin toss, dice roll, and timer have your gameplay covered. Spend less time opening different apps and more time focusing on the game.
– CREATE EVENTS AND PLAY GAMES TOGETHER
With events, you can plan your next game night with your gaming group or find some new friends to play with. Is there a new game out you’ve been hoping to try but haven’t purchased? Find a group near you playing that game! Or, host your own event and make it public, approval-based, or completely private. There are lots of ways to play with Cardboard Companion and events.
– RECORD YOUR PLAYS AND TRACK YOUR STATS
Cardboard Companion makes it easy to record your plays. If you’ve already been recording your plays elsewhere, don’t worry—you can effortlessly import your plays from several other stat tracking services. In stats, you’ll get to see your overall play stats change over time. You can also view per-game stats to see which of your friends is the unofficial champ of a certain game.
– BUILD YOUR DIGITAL GAME COLLECTION
Build and manage your board game library with ease, and view your games in a gorgeous display. Create custom lists to keep track of your favorite 2 player games, best cooperative games, or a wishlist; the options are endless. Additionally, with the robust filtering system in place, you can filter your library based on game criteria to figure out what you should play!
