Every finished game gets a share link, and you can publish it to the Makermint community.
Board games translate naturally to a screen. Dice rolls, piece movement, tile placement, and turn-based strategy do not need a physical table, just rules everyone agrees to follow. Digital versions of classics like Monopoly and Ludo have found large audiences on mobile, and plenty of original board games keep finding new twists on old mechanics like dice-and-move, tile-laying, and set collection.
A board game you make with Makermint is a 2D, browser-based take on that idea. Describe the board, the pieces, and how a turn works, and Makermint builds a playable version you can open on a laptop or phone, no install required. You can ask for an AI opponent so you can play solo, or design it for two people to pass one device back and forth.
How it works
Describe your game
Tell Makermint what kind of board game you have in mind: a property-trading game, a tile-laying kingdom builder, a cooperative puzzle. Plain language is enough, you do not need to spec out rules like a designer.
Makermint builds it
Makermint turns your description into a playable board: layout, pieces, dice or spinner, and turn order. The visuals are handled for you, so you never have to draw or buy art yourself.
Play and iterate
Play the first version right away, then ask for changes in plain language: add a chance-card deck, make the board circular, slow down how far pieces move per turn. Each request gives you a new version to try immediately.
Publish and share
When the game feels right, publish it. You get a link to send to friends, and you can post it to the Makermint community, where anyone can play it and remix it into their own version.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. You describe the game in plain language and Makermint builds the board, pieces, and rules for you. No coding is needed at any step.
Yes, if you upload a clear, front-facing photo, Makermint can cast you as a character in the game, such as a playing piece or player avatar. Casting is optional and needs a face Makermint can detect; it does not work for pets or objects.
Not as a live online service. Makermint can build in an AI opponent so you can play solo, or a turn-based layout meant for two people sharing one screen.
Makermint games run in the browser at a share link rather than as a download. You can send that link to anyone, or publish it to the Makermint community.
Most board games take a few minutes to generate. After that, you can keep refining rules and pieces with the chat editor for as long as you like.
