FAQ
Frequently asked questions about board game tracking
Short answers about how the app works.
How many board games are in the database?
More than 10,000 board games and expansions, with player counts, categories and alternative names. Search copes with typos, and if a game is missing you can add it yourself.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. There's an Android app, and the web app works in any browser, including on iPhone, where you can add it to your home screen. Sign in with the same account and your games are there.
How do I sign in?
With your Google or Discord account. You can connect both to the same profile, and the same account works in RuleVault, our rules app.
Can I track games with friends who don't have accounts?
Add them as local players while you log a game. If they sign up later, you merge the local player into their account and their game history moves with them.
Can I log solo games?
Yes. When you're the only player, switch on "Playing solo" and say whether you beat the game. It counts as a win or a loss in your statistics and achievements.
Can I track scores in games?
One score per player, or one per team in team mode. Scores are optional, so you can just record who won. Top scores and Close Calls need them, though.
What statistics does the app track?
Win rate, games played, wins, losses and ties, head-to-head records, win and loss streaks, your best and worst game, your best opponent and your nemesis, top scores, how often you play and where. Filter by period, game or opponent, or only look at close games.
What are close calls?
A game you won or lost by 1 point, or by 5% of the winning score or less, whichever is bigger. In a game where the winner scores 90, a 4-point gap counts. The Close Calls page lists all of them, and some achievements are only for winning or losing that narrowly.
How do achievements work?
There are over 100, in 12 categories including games played (from 1 to 2,000), wins, losses, ties, streaks, close calls, genres and social goals. Games you logged before an achievement existed still count, so you get them straight away. Each unearned one shows how far along you are.
Can I manage my board game collection?
You get a collection and a wishlist, and you can mark which expansions you own. Games from your collection show up first when you log a result. Friends can look through both lists.
Can I create my own custom board games?
If a game isn't in the database, add it with a name, player count and description, and optionally a picture, playing time and categories. Other players can find it in search too, so your group can log it. You can add one new custom game per week.
What are parties and how do they work?
A party is a saved group of people you play with, like "Friday Night Crew". When you log a game, import the party and everyone is added at once. You can also save the players of a result as a new party.
How does team mode work?
Switch on team mode when you log a game and split the players into color-coded teams. Each team gets one score. Then you pick the team that won, or mark it as a tie.
Can I add photos to my game results?
One photo per result. In the Android app you can take it with the camera or pick one from your gallery. In the browser you upload a file. Whoever logged the result can change or remove the photo later.
How do I connect with friends?
Search for someone by name or username and send a friend request, or share an invite link. Each link works once and expires after 7 days. Once you're friends you can see each other's games, stats, achievements, collection and wishlist.
Can friends comment on my game results?
Yes. Friends can comment on the games you log, and you on theirs. Comments land in your notification inbox, and in the Android app you can get a push notification for them too. You choose which kinds of push you want.
What languages is the app available in?
English, Dutch, German, Spanish, French and Italian. You can switch in your profile settings.
Is my data private and secure?
We never sell your data. Usage analytics are off unless you switch them on. Your games and stats are visible to your friends, not to strangers.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, from your profile: scroll down to "Danger Zone" and choose "Delete Account". That removes your profile, collection, wishlist, friends, achievements and local players. Results you played with other people stay in their history, with your name shown as "Removed User".
