Chris Eastridge on Crude Prototypes, Small Games, and Knowing When to Fold Solo publisher Chris Eastridge designs board games between shifts at a steel mill. His method: crude prototypes, tight documentation, and folding when stuck.

He does it all solo. Design, publication, marketing, art direction. Four games in development.

The board game creator workflow is broken.

Too many tools. Too much chaos. Not enough designing.

We built Boardssey to fix it - one platform, concept to manufacture.

700+ creators use it.

Design Professional Sell Sheets in Seconds | Board Game Creator Tool YouTube video by Boardssey

But now that Boardssey lets you create sell sheets in just a few clicks www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN_Z... we’re looking at what to tackle next...

Some people are asking for an easier way to design prototype components. But I’m curious: what’s the pain point you hit when developing a board game? πŸŽ²βœ‚

Have you heard about or tried @boardssey.bsky.social yet?

After one year, I’m really proud of what we’ve built and how it’s helping board game creators work and show more professionally, from development all the way to pitching and getting published. 😊 πŸŽ²βœ‚οΈ

No extra tools. No extra cost.

This is why creators are obsessed.

What you see here is the result.

What matters is that the game, sell sheet, catalog page, and pitch tracking all live in one system.

That clarity changes how pitches are evaluated.

The UaiPiΓ‘ founder on hook-driven design, why early playtesting can hurt you, and iterating fast enough to catch market windows.

"Games that lie on a hook tend to be about the moment of the market and trend on what publishers are looking for."

Publishers scan for clarity, not folders. A catalog keeps your work always ready.

You spent months designing this.
Publishers spent 5 seconds deciding.

They saw files, not your game.

One place.
Clear rules.
Versioned playtests.
A one page pitch.
One shareable link.

That is the difference.

one of our creators, Greg Loumeau, designed two games on Boardssey as experiments in minimal-component depth. now that work informed the Lark Game Box - and it's live on Kickstarter as a Make 100 campaign.
always cool to see Boardssey prototypes turn into real crowdfunding campaigns πŸ’œ

Here's our ask: This week, do one small thing.
Create something. Publish something. Open an old project and touch it again.

Reply and tell us what you did. We're reading every response.

The distance between an idea and a finished game has never been smaller.
The tools are here. The people are here. You don't have to do this alone.
This is your year. We believe that.

600+ creators built games on Boardssey in 2025. Most of them almost didn't.
Ideas almost dropped. Projects abandoned. Moments of "maybe later" that became real.
If you built last year, you know that feeling. If you didn't, you know the opposite one.
