Board Game Collection App
Vitrine is a board game collection app for hobbyists who want a proper record of their library. Catalog games, expansions, and Kickstarter exclusives. Track completeness, component condition, and estimated value. Share your collection page publicly. Free to start.
Why board game collectors choose Vitrine
Expansions and promos are hard to track with a game
BoardGameGeek is great for discovery but not for tracking which expansions you own, which promos are included, and which Kickstarter extras came in which pledge level. Vitrine keeps your full library organised by base game.
Kickstarter exclusives need special documentation
Knowing which KS campaign you backed, what pledge level you chose, and what extras were included is important for completeness and resale. Vitrine lets you record all of this in the notes field.
Component completeness affects value
A game missing its rulebook or key tokens is worth significantly less than a complete copy. Vitrine has a condition field and notes section so you know exactly what is and is not in every box.
Features for board game collectors
Base game and expansion tracking
Catalog base games, expansions, promo packs, and accessories together. Use categories and notes to group everything belonging to the same title.
Completeness and condition tracking
Record whether components are complete, punched or unpunched, and log any missing pieces.
Value tracking
Record retail price and current estimated value. Useful for insurance and if you ever want to sell.
Photo storage
Attach photos of boxes, components, and Kickstarter inserts.
Public collection page
Share your library publicly. Useful for gaming groups and conventions.
Bulk CSV import
Import a BGG export or existing spreadsheet on Professional plans.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track expansions and promos separately from the base game?
Yes. Add each expansion as its own entry and note in the description which base game it belongs to. You can use the category field to group everything together.
How do I record Kickstarter exclusives and pledge levels?
Use the notes field to record the campaign name, pledge level, and what extras were included. This information stays permanently attached to that entry.
Can I import my BGG collection?
BGG allows you to export your collection as CSV. On Professional plans you can import that CSV into Vitrine, map the columns, and review before committing.
Is Vitrine useful for a gaming group that loans games out?
Yes. Use the status field to mark games as on loan and record who has them. The loans feature on Professional plans adds due dates and return tracking.
Can I share my collection with my gaming group?
Yes. Make selected games public on your collection page and share the link. Group members can see what you own without needing a Vitrine account.
