Friends around a board game by lamplight

Every play. Remembered.

It’s a Tuesday in March. You played Brass: Birmingham for the first time. You can almost remember who won. AfterTable is for the version of you in November who wants to remember the rest.

A journal for board game nights. Capture moments as they happen, write your take while it’s fresh, and watch a year of games turn into something worth coming back to.

Yours when you start

While the game is happening

Capture the table without leaving it.

A one-tap composer that lives on screen the entire game. Drop a moment in three seconds — a turn, a quote, a photo of the board. The dark theme respects 9pm lighting. Hide twists and reveals until the session wraps, so the people across the table don’t get spoiled.

After the game

The score is what happened. Your take is what mattered.

Every play gets its own page — the winner, the final standings, and one short reflection from each player at the table. The joke, the bad call, the comeback. Takes are what turn a row of numbers into something you’ll actually want to read in December.

Together, not just logged

A session, not a score sheet.

Start a session and your friends can join the moments timeline live. One container holds a whole game night — or a convention weekend with five plays back to back. Visibility is yours: friends only, friends-of-friends, or unlisted.

The part that gets competitive

Find out who’s actually good at this game.

Win rate by game. Win rate by opponent. The numbers that answer the question every gaming group eventually asks. Your wheelhouse, your nemesis matchups, the title you keep playing without ever winning — visible at a glance.

AfterTable Game Stats screen for Brass: Birmingham — 20 plays, 60% win rate, win-rate-by-opponent breakdown.

Everything you’ve ever played

A journal you can actually search.

Filter by game, opponent, result, or time window. Free-text search across every take you’ve ever written. “How did I do against Casey on heavy euros last quarter?” — three taps.

December lands different

Spotify Wrapped, but for the table you sat at.

Every December — and any time you want — AfterTable turns your year into a magazine. Numbered chapters: the games that kept hitting the table, the people who showed up most, the biggest blowout, your own takes quoted back to you. Screenshot-worthy. Share-worthy. A year of nights, told back to you.

From the desk

I built AfterTable because I forgot. Three winters of game nights and all I had left were scoresheet photos with the wrong dates.

I wanted the version of me in November to remember the Tuesday in March when we figured Brass out. So I made somewhere to keep it.

If you keep one too, I’d be glad of the company.
