Ready to playtest

Your testers join with a link

Less setup, more testing

Your energy should go into your game, not craft work

FBS removes the friction that slows the path from an idea to a real playtest and the version that follows.

01

Stop reprinting everything

Add or replace cards, pawns, dice and boards in the editor. Your prototype stays editable as its rules evolve.

02

Test beyond your living room

Create a table and share its link with the people you choose. They have nothing to install before joining the session.

03

Shorten every iteration

After the session, update components and rules, save a .fbs copy and prepare the next test.

The playtest loop

From your idea to the next version

FBS brings the prototype and the playtest table together. You stay in control of the rules and every component.

01

Build

Assemble your board, cards and pieces in a visual editor without writing code.

02

Invite

Create a table and send its link to the testers you selected. They can join as guests.

03

Observe

Let players freely handle the prototype. Use spectator mode to watch without taking a seat.

04

Iterate

Update components or rules, export a .fbs copy and launch another playtest.

The prototyping workshop

Everything you need to make your idea tangible

FBS is a freeform table, not an engine that imposes rules. You build the game materials and your testers handle them as they would during a real playtest.

Components suited to your game

Import your images and assemble cards, dice, tokens, pawns, boards, draw bags and private zones.

An immediate test table

Open a test table directly from the editor to check your prototype before inviting your group.

A format you can keep

Export and import your game as a .fbs file to archive a milestone, share a copy or continue your work.

Built for playtesting

The freedom of a real table, at a distance

During a test, rules change and exceptions happen. FBS lets you experiment instead of stopping the session.

Freeform handling

Move, flip, shuffle, draw and adjust components without waiting for a rule to be programmed.

Private information

Use private zones for card hands and information each player must keep hidden from the others.

Observe without interfering

Let testers play while you observe the session using spectator mode.

Built with FBS

One table, very different prototypes

These examples show the types of materials the editor can already reproduce. FBS is not a game catalogue: it is the workshop for building yours.
