If you're a Panda Game Manufacturing client, you get free access to the Boardssey Pathfinder plan, the tier most active board game designers use to prototype, pitch, and collaborate.

What you get
Free Pathfinder access for as long as you're an active Panda client.
Pathfinder includes everything on Adventurer (5 games, all Game Dev tools, public catalog, unlimited seats and playtests) plus 20 games, the Whiteboard, and the Sell Sheet Designer. See Plans and pricing for the full feature breakdown.
No Boardssey credit card charge while you're a Panda client.
Full access from day one: there's no separate trial layered on top.
How to redeem
Redemption is handled by Panda Game Manufacturing, not in-app on Boardssey.
Reach out to your Panda contact.
They'll provide the activation details for the program.
Follow Panda's instructions to activate your Pathfinder access.
We don't take redemption codes in-app and we don't list a redemption link here, on purpose, the program runs through Panda and they keep the activation end-to-end.
If Panda directs you to sign up at boardssey.com first and then send them a confirmation, do that, the standard Creating your Boardssey account flow is fine.
What happens if you stop being a Panda client
If your relationship with Panda ends, your free Pathfinder access ends too. You'll have a couple of paths:
Keep using Pathfinder: pay the regular Pathfinder rate (USD $15/month or $150/year, equivalent in your local currency). You'll get an email reminder before the program ends so you're not surprised.
Downgrade to Adventurer: keep up to 5 games, all Game Dev tools, your public catalog, and unlimited seats and playtests. You lose the Whiteboard and the Sell Sheet Designer.
Cancel entirely: your data stays in place, but the workspace drops to a read-only state until you re-subscribe.
See Update or cancel your subscription for the mechanics.
Your games, projects, and pitches don't disappear when the program ends; only your access to the gated Pathfinder features.
Tips & common questions
Can I combine Panda with the 14-day free trial? The Panda program replaces the trial, you don't need both. Once you're in the program you're already on Pathfinder.
Can I upgrade to Oracle while on the Panda program? Yes. Open the Billing Portal and pick Oracle. You'll be charged the difference between Pathfinder and Oracle from then on. See Update or cancel your subscription.
Do I lose any data when the Panda program ends? No. Your games, components, media, rules, playtest results, pitches, and contacts all stay in your team workspace. The only thing you lose is the ability to use Pathfinder-only features like the Whiteboard and Sell Sheet Designer until you re-subscribe.
I'm a Panda client and don't see my Pathfinder access, what should I do? Reach out to Panda first. If Panda confirms you should have access and something looks wrong on the Boardssey side, message us via the in-app chat bubble or email the team.
