CardBoard designs private game nights around your specific people. You've been invited to experience it first — and help shape what it becomes.
Here's the idea: instead of a game night that just happens, I design one that's built around your group — who's coming, what the occasion is, how you want the night to feel.
Then I show up and host the whole thing. The games are just the excuse. What I'm actually designing is the kind of night people retell at brunch the next morning.
What you're getting
Games chosen specifically for your group and occasion — not a random grab from a shelf.
A designed arc with an opener, main event, wildcard, and closing moment. I run all of it.
2–6 people. Birthdays, reunions, friend groups — any occasion is the right one.
Your place, a friend's place — anywhere in the Birmingham metro that works.
How it works
Pick a date that works for you and your group. No payment — your playtester session is completely on me.
A few questions about your group and what you want the night to feel like. About 15 minutes. Your guests get a quick 2-minute version too.
I'll reach out to talk through the details and make sure the night is designed exactly right for your people.
Games, arc, awards, everything. Your only job is to show up and play.
About 10 minutes. Your honest read of the experience. That's the whole ask.
The exchange
A full Game Night — curated, hosted, designed around your group. Completely free. No catch.
An honest survey response the next day. About 10 minutes of your time. No ratings, no stars — just real feedback about what the night felt like.
No ongoing commitment. No referral ask. No follow-up sales. You give me honest feedback, I give you a great night.
"The games are just the excuse."
This is what CardBoard is built on. The games aren't the point — the point is what happens between the people playing them. Your feedback helps me make sure that's what every night actually delivers.
I'm running a small number of playtester sessions before launch. Pick a date that works for your group and let's design your night.
