What's New in BG Rules

1.2.0

October 25, 2026

• Setup Guide (Pro) — a step-by-step setup checklist built from the rulebook, tuned to your player count. Tick steps off as you go; your progress syncs across your devices. Open it from My Games, from a chat, or by asking Siri. • Siri and Shortcuts — "Ask BGRules how scoring works in Catan." On iOS 27, Siri reads you the answer without opening the app. Your games also show up in Spotlight. • Scan a game box — point Visual Intelligence at a box to jump straight to that game. • Example questions in a new chat to get you started. Tap one to edit it before you send. • Clearer progress while you wait: see when BG Rules is finding the game, loading the rulebook, or checking expansions. • Asked about a different game mid-chat? One tap starts a new chat for it. • Better layouts on iPad Slide Over, iPhone Mirroring, and iPhone Duo. • Accessibility: Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast support, better VoiceOver labels, and a send button that scales with text size. Stuck on a rule? Tap the thumbs-down icon below any answer to tell us we got it wrong, or email support@bgrules.app. We read every report.

User reviews

Helpful Little App!

This is super nice and lightweight app for settling arguments at the kitchen table with the family or just getting spun up on a new game. I've been digging it all around! 👍

Great resource!

Has been very helpful in finding answers to tricky questions. Love that it basically searches the rule book as well as BGG forums to help find the answers. Definitely saving a lot of frustration!
