# Boards Overview

### Your new favourite meeting space

Ludi boards are your playground for collaboration, start with a template, build your own custom board layout or combine both to build something uniquely suited to your needs. "The board is your oyster", or something like that. I don't know, I'm just a help guide.

We've built Ludi to be easy-to-use and fun so your team look forward to meetings and focus on what needs to be done, not how to do it. But if you do need help, browse some of our detailed guides below.

### Overview of the board UI
