Custom terms
Bringing a catalog of titles, a convention schedule or a launch? We set up terms that fit your releases.
Before you pull up a chair.
No. Playing games on Boardweaver is free, in any browser, for you and everyone you invite. A plan only pays for hosting the games you create.
We run the servers, store your code and art, enforce your rules in every match and keep the game playable on any device. There is nothing else to set up or pay for.
No. Describe your rules to the chat in Studio, or to Claude or ChatGPT through our connector, and get a playable version back. If you do code, the full engine API is open to you.
Build tokens are how we count AI usage in the Studio chat. Every plan includes some each month, and you can buy more when you run out. Extra build tokens cost less on higher plans.
Any plan. Tinkerer covers private playtests with people you invite. Designer adds public playtests, so anyone browsing the catalog can try your game.
Every new creator gets a 7-day free trial of Designer, plus some build tokens to try the Studio chat. After that, pick a plan to keep building.
If you move down to Tinkerer, your public playtests go back to private. If you cancel, you lose access to your games until you subscribe again. We delete the games and assets of a cancelled account after 90 days.
