Keep the Dice Rolling
Boardgamer was built for one simple reason: helping people find board games they’ll genuinely love. Not just the loudest Kickstarter, the hottest trend, or whatever a YouTuber yelled about this week.
If you’ve enjoyed the site and want to help us keep the wheels turning, you can support Boardgamer with a donation. Every contribution, big or small, helps keep this little powered machine puffing along.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see your card details.
What Your Support Goes Towards
Infrastructure & Maintenance
Turns out hosting a giant board game database isn’t powered by fairy dust and meeples alone.
As more people use the site, our server and maintenance costs continue to grow month by month. Donations help us keep the lights on, the pages loading, and the database from collapsing.
Every contribution helps keep Boardgamer running smoothly for gamers around the world.
New Features
We don’t want Boardgamer to be just another review site with numbers slapped on boxes.
We want it to feel personal. Smarter recommendations. Better discovery tools. More ways to track, share, rate, organise, and celebrate the hobby we all love. The more tailored the experience becomes, the more useful it becomes for every kind of gamer, from curious newcomers to full-time hobbyists with six kallax shelves and no remaining floor space.
The more support we receive, the faster we can build better tools, release new features, and improve the experience for everyone.
Supporting Independent Creators
Boardgamer isn’t backed by a giant media company, mysterious investors, or a billionaire with a monocle.
It’s built by a handful of passionate people who genuinely care about the hobby and the community around it. Donations help us dedicate more time, energy, and resources into building something worthwhile instead of trying to wrestle it together at 1:13am while questioning our life choices.
Keeping the Community First
We want Boardgamer to stay focused on gamers first.
Support from the community helps us avoid cluttering the site with aggressive ads, annoying popups, or “TOP 10 GAMES YOU MUST BUY RIGHT NOW” articles written by someone who has watched a video with the same title.
Your support helps us keep building the kind of platform we’d actually want to use ourselves.
A Letter From the Owners
To everyone who’s used Boardgamer, shared it with friends, reported bugs, left reviews, suggested features, or supported us financially:
Thank you.
Seriously.
Boardgamer started with a few guys in a small part of the UK who simply loved board games and believed there should be a better way for people to discover them. A place that helps both new and experienced gamers find games they’ll truly enjoy, not just whatever happens to be trending the loudest that week.
Seeing people use something we built is already more rewarding than we can properly explain. The fact that gamers around the world spend time on the site, contribute to it, and help shape it means everything to us. That alone makes the whole adventure worthwhile.
Financial support simply helps us do more of it, faster and better.
As the site grows, so do the costs involved in keeping everything running and improving. Donations directly help us continue building new features, improving performance, and making Boardgamer the best platform it can possibly be.
For the love of board games, keep gaming, keep reviewing, keep supporting. The best is yet to come.
The Boardgamer team.
