Good stuff, Peter!

After subscribing to this app I found myself “forced” to buy two new games! Fury of Dracula 3rd ed, apparently one of Peter’s favourites, and This War of Mine, another fairly old game, were praised sufficiently enough to be worth hunting down and the ability to get a heads up of the rules via the app was the crucial factor in the whole process. So thanks, Peter, the wallet’s a bit lighter, but I’m looking forward to playing these games along with others of my collection as the app evolves and increases its catalogue.

Incredibly Useful

Boardgame rulebooks are, on the whole, very difficult to follow. Even great games with good rulebooks aren’t the easiest to use to find a rule whilst you are playing.

Having rules summaries for your favourite games is very helpful - and how much more helpful can it be if they are all right here on your phone, nicely searchable and organised?

This is a great app, with functionality and content you won’t find anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Awesome way to learn and teach board games

Each of the games in this app has its own rules summary, and in a lot of cases the rules summaries are actually much clearer than the rulebook in the game box! The section-based navigation is so crisp and pleasing to use.

It doesn’t have everything, but a huge number of major titles are covered, and I’ve seen more added already.

I wish all rulebooks where as clearly presented and easily searchable.

I really recommend downloading and exploring the included free rulebooks.
