Terms
GameChest is a board game shelf run by one person in their spare time, not a company. These are the terms of using it, in the words they'd use across a table.
Last updated 23 September 2026.
What it is
A free place to keep a record of your board games, sell them elsewhere, and play more with friends. No payment is taken, nothing is sold to you, and nothing is sold about you. It isn't a marketplace: sales happen on eBay, BGG or between people, never here.
What's yours
Your shelf, notes, prices, plays and photos are yours. GameChest keeps them to show them back to you and, where you choose, to your friends — see Privacy. You can take your shelf as a CSV at any time, and delete the account and everything in it from Settings.
Photos you add should be ones you took, of your own copies. Game facts and cover art come from BoardGameGeek and belong to them and the publishers; GameChest shows them with credit and doesn't claim them.
What's asked of you
Use it for your own games and with people you know. Don't try to get at other people's shelves, guess friend codes, script it, or load it with things that aren't board games. Accounts have generous limits (five thousand games, three thousand photos); if you genuinely need more, ask.
What isn't promised
It's offered as it is. It may break, change, or one day close — if it closes, you'll be told and given time to take your data. Prices you see are what people are asking, with the source named, never a valuation to rely on; any money figure is your own. When you list on eBay or BGG, their terms apply to the sale, not these.
An account that's used to harm the app or other people can be closed.
Changes and contact
When these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Questions go through the feedback button in the app, or to [email protected].
