Eggy Boardgames brings classic board gaming to XenForo with a premium multiplayer experience and one standout feature: CrossPlay between independently operated XenForo websites.

Rather than limiting multiplayer matches to members of a single community, Eggy Boardgames allows connected websites to compete against each other through its integrated CrossPlay system.

Whether playing against friends, challenging members from another community or enjoying a game against the computer, Eggy Boardgames brings classic tabletop entertainment directly into your forum.

Important information for Cloudflare users

Eggy Boardgames supports CrossPlay between different XenForo websites.

If you use Cloudflare Managed Challenges, these can sometimes interfere with the API requests used for website discovery and multiplayer connections.

If Cloudflare is blocking Boardgames CrossPlay, open Cloudflare → Security → Security rules → Create rule → Custom rules.

Select Edit expression and enter:

(http.request.method in {"GET" "POST"} and (starts_with(http.request.uri.path, "/boardgames-federation/") or (http.request.uri.path eq "/index.php" and starts_with(http.request.uri.query, "boardgames-federation/"))))

Set the action to Skip and select All remaining custom rules if a custom Managed Challenge rule is responsible.

Make sure the exception appears above the rule causing the challenge.

This allows Boardgames CrossPlay API traffic through that protection without affecting the rest of your website.

Both friendly and non-friendly XenForo URL formats are supported.

CrossPlay Multiplayer Without Website Boundaries​

Your community doesn't have to play alone.

Eggy Boardgames allows independently operated XenForo websites running the add-on to establish CrossPlay connections and participate in multiplayer matches.

• Cross-website multiplayer – Play against members from other connected XenForo communities.
• Website connections – Connect participating websites through the integrated CrossPlay system.
• Live table chat – Communicate with opponents during multiplayer matches, including players on other websites.
• Shared gameplay – Keep both players synchronised throughout their cross-website matches.
• Independent communities – Each participating website retains its own XenForo installation and members.

CrossPlay and cross-website table chat have been successfully tested between separate XenForo installations.

Six Classic Board Games​

Eggy Boardgames launches with six familiar favourites:

• Chess – Challenge opponents in the ultimate game of strategy.
• Checkers – Outsmart your opponent with tactical moves.
• Backgammon – Enjoy a timeless blend of strategy and chance.
• Ludo – Race around the board in this colourful classic.
• Reversi – Capture the board by turning your opponent's pieces.
