Board games are better with friends. Kallax.io brings your collections together, helps you find the perfect game for the table and makes it easy to plan the next game night. Kallax.io is built and run by a small group of friends: professional software developers who share a love of board games. Our mission is simple: get more people playing board games together.

Open Kallax.io

New here? Create your virtual board game shelf in a few minutes.

Collect

Import your games from BoardGameGeek, paste a list of titles, scan the barcodes on your shelf or add games one by one. Organise them with tags and keep track of details such as the language of each copy. You can export or delete your collection whenever you want.

Connect

Add friends and search their shelves as if they were an extension of your own. Find a game that is easy to learn and takes around 30 minutes, or a three-player game without dice that someone at the table owns. You can also share a search link with friends and family so they can browse your collection, no account required.

Play

Host game nights and let everyone vote on when to meet and what to play, coordinate who brings which games, and set up tables people can take a seat at. Keep it private for friends and family, or arrange open meetups and find events near you. Guests can say they are coming with a one-click guest account.
