Common questions
Do I need design experience to use BoardGameZen?
No. BoardGameZen is built for people who have game ideas and want to test them quickly. You don't need to know graphic design, layout tools, or programming. If you can describe your game concept, BoardGameZen can help you prototype it.
What kinds of games does BoardGameZen support?
BoardGameZen is focused on card-centric games and simple board/card hybrid games. Think deck builders, tableau games, light strategy games, and party card games. We're deliberately narrow so we can do this well — broader genre support will come later.
Does BoardGameZen generate AI art?
No. BoardGameZen uses clean, abstract prototype visuals by default. This is intentional — we believe early prototypes should emphasize mechanics and legibility, not flashy visuals. You can upload your own art assets when you're ready for that.
How does mobile playtesting work?
BoardGameZen generates a mobile web prototype you can open in any phone browser. No app download needed. It supports solo play and pass-and-play modes. The playtest is a digital paper prototype — designed for rapid design iteration, not polished gameplay.
