The future of board games

One game. Two worlds.

Chess taught the world to think ahead. Board-Stars brings that same thinking to the sports people love, and lets you carry the game from the table to the screen and back again.

01

Table and screen

Every Board-Stars game plays exactly the same on a real board as it does in the app. Learn on your phone on the bus, then beat your family at the kitchen table.

02

A coach in the box

The digital games teach as you play: suggested moves at rookie level, the reason behind each one, and a computer opponent that grows with you from first match to final.

03

Stars you collect

Big headed figures on team bases, one for every position. New kits, new teams, new sports. A board game that keeps growing, the way a sticker album does.

How it plays

Chess brain. Sports heart.

  1. Every player moves like their positionWingers race the lines, midfielders cut the diagonals, keepers guard their box. You know the moves because you know the sport.
  2. Make the play, then answer theirsAttack and defend in turn. Block the shot, jump the pass, strip the ball. Defence is half the fun.
  3. Score like checkmateTrap the keeper, make the ten yards, land the dunk. Matches take about fifteen minutes, so it is always one more game.
Goal! in the browser: the full pitch, both teams of big headed figures in their kick off shape, with a shot on.

Meet the Stars

Big heads. Bigger plays!

Every position has its own Star, sculpted on a team base and ready for the table or the screen. Pick a player and give him a spin.
