Sharing

Shows next to your name in Friends, the Leaderboard, and the Activity feed.

Make your collection browsable by anyone with the link — sessions, reviews, and everything else you track stays visible read-only, exactly like Norman's public shelf.

Sessions, belts, and trophies from your week, sent once a week. Skipped automatically on a quiet week — no empty emails.

A friend request, a trophy, a game night invite, or an RSVP to a night you're hosting. Nothing else pings you.

About this shelf

Hi, I'm Norman — this is my personal board game collection tracker: every game I own, every session I've logged, and honest reviews as I write them. I built it to keep an accurate record for myself, and to give other hobbyists something real to compare notes against.
