Thank you!
Ludāgora's first Cambiatón just wrapped up! I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who took part and trusted us with it. Watching this many people gather around the hobby, with the addiction love for board games we all share, was the best part of the whole thing.
Thank you for writing to us, for sending ideas, and for reporting every bug you found until the platform worked the way it should. This edition happened through a lot of work from Juan C., Ricardo and me, and through everyone who took the time to tell us something. Please keep it coming in the WhatsApp group.
This was the first one, and it only gets better from here! There is plenty more on the way, and I hope that together we turn Ludāgora into the community's meeting point to trade, dust off and enjoy board games.
Juan Solano, Ludāgora
