Your public catalog is a portfolio website Boardssey builds for you, showing the games you've chosen to share publicly. It updates instantly as you change your games and lives at a URL like bdsy.cc/your-slug.
This page covers turning the catalog on, customizing how it looks, and embedding it on your own site.
For the per-game visibility toggle, see Add a game to your public catalog.
What this page helps you do
Turn catalog sharing on for your team.
Pick a custom URL (slug).
Add your logo, bio, and contact info.
Re-order which games appear (and feature your best work).
Embed the catalog on your own website.
Before you start
The public catalog is included on every plan (Adventurer, Pathfinder, Oracle).
You need to be Owner or Admin to enable the catalog and change team-wide settings.
Individual games are added to the catalog via a per-game toggle, see Add a game to your public catalog.
1. Open the Catalog area
In the sidebar, click Catalog (in some workspaces it's under External Portfolio). You'll see two tabs: Shared games and Customization.
2. Turn on catalog sharing
In Shared games, click Enable catalog sharing (top right). Boardssey generates a unique URL for your team's catalog and shows it under Your catalog link.
Until you enable sharing, your URL doesn't show any games to visitors.
3. Customize your catalog URL
The default URL uses your team's slug, for example bdsy.cc/your-team-slug. To change it:
In Shared games, find Your catalog link.
Click Edit next to the URL.
Type a new slug. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
Click Save.
Pick something memorable, your studio name, your designer alias, your flagship game's name. Avoid temporary phrases ("new-2026"); the slug can change but doing so breaks any old links you've shared.
If your chosen slug is taken, you'll see an error and can pick another.
4. Add your logo
Switch to the Customization tab.
In Catalog logo, upload a square or circular logo (PNG with transparent background works best). The logo appears in the catalog's sidebar/header when visitors browse.
Click Clear if you want to remove an uploaded logo later.
5. Write your sidebar bio
In Catalog sidebar, you'll find a rich text editor. This is where you tell visitors who you are. Common content:
A one-paragraph bio of you or your studio.
Contact email and / or website.
Social links (Instagram, BGG, YouTube, blog).
Tagline or mission.
The editor supports basic formatting (bold, italic, links, lists). Changes auto-save after a couple of seconds.
6. Re-order your games
Back in Shared games, you'll see all games in your library with a toggle for whether each appears on the catalog. The ones with sharing on appear in the order shown.
Drag and drop to reorder. The change saves automatically.
You can also mark a game as Novelty (or featured), which pins it to the top of the catalog. Use it for your latest release or your best title, the games visitors should see first.
The Reorder A–Z button sorts games alphabetically within their group (Novelty games stay at the top, other games sort below them).
7. Preview the catalog
In Customization, click Refresh preview to see the live page exactly as visitors see it. Click Open in new tab to load the actual public URL.
Use this before sharing the link in pitches or on social media, make sure the order, logo, bio, and games look the way you intend.
8. Embed on your own website
If you have a website, you can embed the catalog directly so visitors don't have to leave your site:
In Shared games, find the Embed code section.
Copy the iframe HTML and paste it into your site where you want the catalog.
Copy the JavaScript snippet and paste it into your site's
<head>(or right before</body>). It auto-resizes the iframe to fit content.
Test the embed on your live site, different themes can affect how it displays.
9. Custom CSS and JavaScript (optional)
For advanced styling, the Customization tab has fields to inject custom CSS and custom JavaScript into the catalog page. Use this for:
Brand-matching colour tweaks.
Adding analytics scripts (Google Analytics, Plausible).
Small polish that doesn't fit the standard customization options.
Test changes in the preview first, bad CSS can break the layout. Don't include <style> or <script> tags; just the code itself.
Disabling sharing
To take the catalog offline temporarily:
In Shared games, click Disable catalog sharing.
The URL now returns a "not found" page.
All your settings (slug, logo, bio, game order) are preserved.
Re-enable any time. Your URL returns; nothing was lost.
Tips & common questions
Will my old URL keep working if I change the slug? No, the old URL stops working immediately. Update any links you've shared on social media, in pitches, or in your email signature.
Can I have multiple catalogs (one per game line)? One catalog per team workspace. Some studios maintain multiple workspaces for this reason; the trade-off is each workspace has its own subscription.
Why is my catalog showing games I don't want public? Each game has its own per-game toggle on the game page (see Add a game to your public catalog). The catalog-wide toggle only enables/disables the URL; per-game toggles control which games appear.
Does the catalog work on mobile? Yes. The catalog is responsive, visitors browsing on phones see the same content reflowed.
Can I password-protect my catalog? Not today. The catalog is public by design. If you need private sharing, share specific games with publishers as Collaborators with view-only access instead.
My catalog isn't updating immediately. Most changes are instant. Browsers sometimes cache the catalog page; click Refresh preview or hard-refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R) to see the latest.
