I wanted a better way to remember my board game nights, so I built an app
What do you use to keep a record of the board games you’ve played?
* BGG?
* Spreadsheet?
* Photos only?
* Notebook?
* Nothing at all, just in your heart?
Until now, I’ve only kept photos.
It wasn’t really about keeping track of scores or win rates. I just took photos of the games I played and the friends I played with.
However, this year, I wanted to keep track of who I played with, what board games we played, and the photos from each game night, so I built a small iPhone app called BoardLog.
The idea is simple: rather than focusing on scores and statistics, BoardLog is about preserving the memories of board game nights.
You can record the games you played and who you played with, add photos, and look back on your past game nights later.
I wanted it to feel less like a game tracker and more like a personal scrapbook.
It’s currently available on the US and Japanese App Stores.
I’d love to hear how you keep your board game memories! Do you take photos, keep game logs, use an app, or simply rely on your memory?
If you’re interested, feel free to check out BoardLog!
