About Coflowy

Hi, I’m Nenisson Melo, the creator behind Coflowy — a space dedicated to the love, care, and rediscovery of vintage board games.

My story with board games began in a small living room, on rainy afternoons during the 80s, where my siblings and I would gather around a worn-out game box passed down from a cousin. The dice were chipped, the cards faded, and the board had seen better days — but to us, it was magic. Those games sparked not just joy, but curiosity. I began to wonder: How are these games made? How can we fix broken pieces? Why do they bring people together so effortlessly?

Decades later, that same curiosity evolved into a mission: to help others revive, preserve, and appreciate the timeless value of analog play. That’s how Coflowy was born.

What We Do

At Coflowy, we focus on four pillars:

  • Teaching with Vintage Games: We explore how classic games can be powerful educational tools in modern classrooms, encouraging critical thinking, cooperation, and creativity.
  • Restoration & Preservation: From removing moldy odors to flattening warped boards, we provide hands-on guides to restore beloved games to their former glory — or better.
  • How to Play: Whether you’ve found a game at a flea market or inherited one from family, we help you learn the rules, strategies, and charm of forgotten classics.
  • Collector’s Insights: With curated guides on rare editions, missing pieces, and market value, we support collectors and enthusiasts in building meaningful, lasting collections.

Why Coflowy?

The name “Coflowy” reflects a blend of community, flow, and a touch of nostalgia. It’s a reminder that games aren’t just things — they’re shared experiences, time capsules, and creative tools for connection.

Whether you’re an educator, a collector, or simply someone who found a dusty old game and wondered “Can I bring this back to life?” — you’re in the right place.

Let’s preserve the past, one game at a time.
