BoardLink BoardLinkBoardLink lets people open a link on a phone, tablet, or computer and immediately play short multiplayer games together — with server-authoritative rooms and nothing to install.
Five ways in
No friend requests, no logins. Pick whichever path fits the moment.
Discover people who appear to share your Internet connection and challenge them instantly.
Find an anonymous device profile by its friend code — no email or phone number needed.
Enter a room code, scan a QR code, or just open an invitation link someone sent you.
Pass-and-play locally on one screen, with no network connection required at all.
Add BoardLink to your home screen for an app-like launch — entirely optional.
Everything starts from a URL. Share it anywhere and the other person is one tap from playing.
The game set
Play online with friends or against the computer — more on the roadmap.
Five-in-a-row strategy. Play online or against the computer at three difficulty levels.
Full chess — castling, en passant, promotion. Online or vs. computer with difficulty.
Korean chess with palace moves and cannons. Online or vs. computer with difficulty.
The party favorite — quick to learn. Play against an automatic computer opponent.
An original asymmetric, real-time touch game. Play against the computer; online is next.
Bigger rooms and group formats once the shared runtime is proven.
Private by default
BoardLink is built so you can play without handing over your identity. The initial release ships without any of the things that usually come bundled with "free."
