Show HN: FreeBoardGames.org - FOSS platform for publishing
boardgame.io games
Hello HN, I have started FBG some years ago when I moved to the
Bay Area and could not find a simple, cross-platform, no-
registration way to play board games with my friends back in my
home country. I also wanted to make it simple to create multiplayer
board games online for developers in their free time. Shortly
after, I found out about boardgame.io with similar goals and
decided to join forces with them. It became the engine of our board
games, and we focused on publishing/serving them. To be fair with
everyone and inspired by Wikipedia, we made the project a non-
profit with GPLv3 Affero license. Since then, the project has
gotten many amazing contributors that developed really cool board
games, added translations, helped with infra, etc (see
https://www.freeboardgames.org/en/about ...). My focus has been on
the infrastructure (scaling, adding text chat, etc). During the
pandemic, we saw a large 30x increase in usage, and it also became
more useful for me, as I started using it at work for (now virtual)
fun team meeting events. Please check it out and give any
feedback!
