You need an account (email or Google sign-up) to create or join matches from the lobby. Accounts are currently invite-only — you need an invitation code to register.
Guest access is available via direct invite links. Guests can join a match without signing up, but have a limited number of plays. Create an account to play without restrictions.
After creating a match, use the Invite button in the lobby to copy the invite link. Send it to friends via messaging apps, and they can join directly — even without an account.
Each match has a tempo setting that determines the turn time limit. Presets range from 60 seconds to 7 days. You can also set a custom timeout or disable it entirely.
If a player times out, a CPU move is made on their behalf. Repeated timeouts cause the player to be replaced by CPU. You can reclaim your seat by rejoining the match.
Fill empty seats with CPU or play solo. CPU strength options: weak, medium, or strong. You can also kick CPU players from the lobby before the game starts.
Matches are automatically cleaned up: waiting/ready-check matches expire after 24 hours, and aborted matches after 7 days.
Boardoor can be installed on your device for a fullscreen, app-like experience. No app store needed.
Boardoor Shop is a marketplace where community members can buy and sell board game-related items. Browse products, add items to your cart, and checkout securely via Stripe.
When you sell an item, a platform fee is charged: (price + shipping) × 5.6% + ¥45. Boardoor covers Stripe payment processing fees. The fee is deducted from your payout.
The following types of products are not permitted in the shop:
Currently, the shop only ships to addresses within Japan. International shipping is not supported. Shipping fees vary by region and are set by each seller.
Before shipment: You can cancel your order before the seller ships it.
After shipment: If you receive a defective, damaged, or incorrect item, use the Report Issue form in your order details. Boeboard will investigate and coordinate with the seller for a resolution.
For disputes or chargebacks, Boadora works with the seller and payment processor to investigate and respond as the platform operator.
