   This was a major reason for creating my board game web site, BreakBase ( http://www.breakbase.com ). All I wanted to do was play a board game against my friend, and not have to worry about all of the nuances of making an accoun

   I think I should have made this more clear. We track anonymous accounts through the browser session. You can play many games all with the same account, and you'll have a dashboard where you can flip between games just like registered accou

   Ideally we'll build something to play random users. It just wasn't something we build out at first. To answer about monetization, we have loose ideas. I'm really against pop up ads and awkward experiences that most sites tend to have arou

   Myself and 2 friends built BreakBase with the goal of making the seemingly simple process of playing a board game on the Internet with friends as easy as it should be. Existing sites on the web are shockingly complex to find a way to play a
