Board Game Calendar

Schedule game night around the games you actually want to play

board-games social scheduling web firebase

Overview

A social scheduling app for board game groups. Build your collection, connect with friends, and plan nights around specific games you both own and want to play — with built-in RSVP, email notifications, and one-tap calendar export.

General Note · The Problem

Game nights drift toward the most familiar title in the room, not the one anyone actually wanted to play. There's no tool for saying 'I want to play Wingspan this Saturday' and quickly finding which friends own it, want to play it, and can make it.

Built For

Board game enthusiasts who host regular game nights and want to play specific games with specific friends — not whoever's free and whatever's easiest.

Schedule · Key Features

5 Items

Your game collection

Catalog your games with ratings and genre tags pulled from BoardGameGeek. Filter and sort to find exactly what you want to play tonight.

Friends who play

Connect by name, email, or phone. The mutual-friendship model means invites only go to people who've connected with you — no cold invites.

Game-first scheduling

Create a gathering around specific games. Invite friends, set a date, and the app handles RSVPs — including email notifications with one-click Accept / Decline.

RSVP from email

Guests accept or decline directly from the invite email. Deep-link handling applies the RSVP the moment they sign in — no hunting for the gathering.

Calendar export

Add any confirmed game night to Google Calendar or download a .ics for Apple and Outlook — one tap, no copy-paste.
