Fields marked Required must be filled in. Everything marked Optional can be left blank.

1. Your game

Is the game published? Required Published, or about to be
A publisher sells it. It can go all the way to full release on BGA once the publisher licenses it to BGA. A prototype or game in development
For playtesting online. BGA keeps unpublished games at private alpha: you invite the players. Best for near-complete prototypes, with rules and components settled enough to playtest; later changes are billed as change batches.

Game title Required

Exactly as it appears on BoardGameGeek, or as it will. We use it for the BGA listing and to name the project, so check the spelling.

BoardGameGeek ID Optional

The number in the game's BGG address (boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/123456/...). Leave it blank if there's no BGG page.

Fewest players Required

Most players Required

Typical play time, minutes Required

Filled in from your PDF when we can read it. We count the pages again when you continue.

Card and component print files Required

Best: your manufacturer's print-ready files (one page or image per card, fronts and backs named to match). A print-and-play PDF works too. PDF, PNG, JPEG, WebP, or ZIP, up to 30 files of up to 450 MB each.

Supplements Optional

FAQ, player aid, solo or variant rules, as PDFs. No extra charge.

Photos of the game set up on a table Optional

Up to 3 phone photos of a game in progress. We use them to lay out the BGA table like yours; the art always comes from your print files.

3. Details for the BGA listing

These go on your game's Board Game Arena page. Everything here is optional for now. Items marked Needed for public alpha must be included to reach public alpha. We will follow up later if not included during the initial build.

4. You and payment

Your full name Required

Email Required

We send your order confirmation, the rules questions, and the table video here.

Required I authorize Geekery Tabletop to charge the card I pay with today for the later payments in the schedule above, each when its milestone is reached. You'll get an email each time. Required I agree that my game meets content requirements for BGA and doesn't require unsupported functionality (e.g. dexterity). We check this too before you pay. Required I understand this is a prototype build: it's made from the rulebook and files I upload today, it stays at private alpha on BGA (only the players I invite can play it) until the game is published and licensed to BGA, and later changes to the rules or components are billed as change batches. Required I've read the terms and privacy policy, and I understand the build is produced by AI and reviewed by a human developer.

A quick automatic check that you're not a bot. Most people don't have to click anything.

You'll see the exact total, and can add a coupon, on the next page before you pay.
