Welcome to Boardssey – a hub of creativity, passion, and a dash of obsession for all things board games and tech alike. We’re not just a platform; we’re a movement, driven by the thrill of turning game ideas into reality. Every meeple placed, every strategy devised, and every moment of shared joy fuels our drive to innovate. Read on and meet Boardssey team.
The journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to use technology to smooth out the bumps in board game design. This idea was born from the very real frustration faced by one of our co-founders, Luis Francisco Baroni Coutinho, the star player of the Boardssey team. As an experienced graphic designer turned board game publisher, Luis found himself struggling to navigate the fragmented landscape of game development tools. Tired of juggling a stack of mismatched software, he spent countless hours adapting them to meet his needs. The inefficiency was evident, and he knew there had to be a better way.
The Spark of Boardssey
Boardssey emerged from these frustrations. We started by brainstorming with fellow designers, pinpointing the most common pain points that could be solved with a single, unified platform. Our goal was clear: create a comprehensive solution that catered to every aspect of game development – from the initial spark of an idea to the final steps of publishing.
We envisioned a platform that would not only streamline workflows but also enhance creativity by removing the technical barriers that often stifle innovation.
The Minds That Make Your Game Ideas a Reality
When it comes to building the ultimate platform for board game design, our founding trio is the secret sauce. Luis Francisco Baroni Coutinho brings 15 years of board game industry savvy, blending visionary leadership with hands-on experience. I contribute as the marketing strategist, crafting strategies that resonate with the heart of the community. And then there’s Rey David Cuevas, the tech wizard who turns our ambitious ideas into reality.
The dynamic trio of Luis, Rey, and myself is the dream team behind Boardssey. After working together at Unbounce, where we successfully ran Smart Copy as a startup within a startup, we realized our combined skills could spark something truly game-changing. Our synergy, shared vision, ambition, and seamless collaboration make us a powerhouse team ready to build and elevate Boardssey to the next level. With a proven track record and a passion for innovation, we’re on a mission to build a platform that truly resonates with board game designers, developers, and publishers alike.
