About Board Game Engine
Normally the Editor would be paid, however since multiplayer has not been implemented we are allowing free access until we release the multiplayer update. You can buy the Editor early to support us, but note that it does not unlock additional features at this time.
The Board Game Engine was built with game developers in mind as a tool for designing and prototyping your very own tabletop games with as much freedom as possible.
Play your favorite games or playtest upcoming titles for free! Pay only for the Editor.
A detailed game editor for creating your final prototypes. Everything you need to make your games can be found in the Game Editor, though dedicated editors are planned for all components. Modify core mechanics like players, hand limits, create a grid, or place snapping points for objects.
All save types have versioning support, so you can switch between different versions of any type of save, even down to individual components. Update items of the same version in bulk inside the game editor.
A dedicated deck editor, pulling together all saved cards into one simple UI for constructing decks.
Upload and download creations on the Steam Workshop. Free to play users can download from the Workshop too!

It's been almost a year since I purchased this and not one single update has been made. The program is impossible to use, even for something like creating cards. I can't import any pawns, cards, models, nothing. Waste of money.8 found this helpful

It appears that you have to create all objects external and pick them from folders. But all in all it is not even far described what to do and how. No tutorial what so ever, if you want to start you have to trial and error with the "options" wich are also very limited if not absend at all! The sad thing here is, that this is litterally a wasted potential of something that could have been great - IF it would have been user-friendly but it sure just isn´t and it also seems like it will never become hence the lack of further development - so it seems... So do you want to buy it? NOPE definitily not, if you on the other hand REALLY want to give it a try, grab the free to use version , BUT bring a lot of time and PATIENCE, or you will not be happy with this software - like I mentioned, you need exterial software like paint or similar.... Havn´t tryed things like blender for eventually creating 3D-pawns (at least in the options to pick a data-formate their has been the option to choose .mdl and .obj datafiles...) Based on all mentioned above, I cannot recomment this software, even if it is for free; not worth the time especially not worth a dime!1 found this helpful
[h1]Before I played Board Game Engine, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]1 found this helpful
Raw and boring. Almost no features, no multiplayer, and a weak editor.
