boardgames

Boardgames is the curated hub for a Poe board-game monorepo. It now leads with five flagship apps: a Monopoly GO-style property rush, a Catan-style island builder, chess, a checkers-variant suite, and a Splendor-style gem engine. The full catalog remains available below the flagship shelf, but the first screen is built around the strongest mobile-first games.

What you can do

• Start with the flagship shelf when you want the most polished, obvious-to-play games.
• Jump into Rent Royale GO, Island Settlers, Royal Checkmate, Checkers Suite, or Gem Mines as separate Poe apps.
• Browse the full catalog of standalone board-game apps when you want a specific rule set.
• Use each game package independently from the monorepo root or that app directory.
• Keep published apps isolated while sharing workspace scripts and conventions.

Launching games

Inside Poe, the hub opens each game with poe.open({ typeId, instanceId, openProps, isNew: true }). The typeId comes from Poe.apps.list() when available and falls back to the published App IDs captured from each app-platform apps publish result. Outside Poe, the same tiles fall back to the public app URLs.

Built on Synced-Store

Each listed game lives in its own games/* package, publishes as a separate Poe app, and keeps its own synced-store schema, Three.js UI, tests, assets, and .poe-app.json configuration. The game apps use the Poe app platform's synced-store primitive for multi-user state sync, offline-first writes, and conflict resolution. The hub itself is a lightweight catalog that points to the separate app packages.
