# BoardGameBot

> BoardGameBot (boardgamesbot.com) is a bilingual (pt-BR / en-US) web app for board game players. It offers an AI-powered rules assistant, a curated game catalog with SEO pages for ~300 board games, and an OCR tool for reading card text. Content is primarily in Brazilian Portuguese with full English support.

BoardGameBot is aimed at Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking board game enthusiasts, as well as English-speaking players. The AI assistant answers rules questions, explains mechanics, and resolves doubts — supporting both free (browser TTS) and premium (ElevenLabs) voice reading.

## URL structure

The site runs entirely on `https://www.boardgamesbot.com`. Locale is determined by the slug, not the subdomain or path prefix.

- **pt-BR game pages**: `/colonizadores-de-catan`, `/catan-the-settlers-of-catan`, `/wingspan-br`
- **en-US game pages**: `/catan`, `/wingspan`, `/gloomhaven`
- When a game has the same slug in both locales (e.g. `pandemic`), the pt-BR version lives at `/{slug}-br` and en-US at `/{slug}`
- Each game page includes hreflang cross-references between the two locale URLs
