## What is Play Valet?

Stop wasting game time choosing what to play!

Import your library painlessly, then find the right game—the first time—based on who's playing, how think-y, and how long.

Quickly choose: thumbs up, or thumbs down? With a much narrowed-down list you can pick the one, or you can have the app do it for you!

Now you can plan your games ahead of time, and save your list of games you want to play with each group.

### 5/5 — How do I get started

*2021-06-13*

Sounds like a great concept. How do I add my games without being part of BGG.

**Developer response:** Hi ECL318

If you are not a part of BGG you can search for the games you own at the top of the library screen. There should be a grey box that says name with a magnifying glass to the right of it. You can put in the name of the game and find it that way.

If you have further questions, I would be happy to help more. Our email is hello@legacyofplay.com

Updated the onboarding process to make it simpler and easier to start playing.

### 2.7.1 — 2021-12-18

Fixed a tiny bug, and made a couple of tiny improvements.Happy Holidays!

### 2.7.0 — 2021-12-05

Play Faster Update #3: Make More Free

This is a big one!

Game Nights are unlimited. Invitations are available to everyone. And we did away with separately planning for later and deciding for now.

### 2.6.1 — 2021-11-05

Play Faster Update #2: Faster planning

Your list of Game Nights is now at the top of the app.

The same Choose and Plan buttons are still available, but we've prioritized responding to invitations—and any Game Night occurring within a week have been given an extra dose of TLC.

Unfortunately this meant removing the floating box art from the home screen, which we're sure will disappoint long-time Valet users. We hope to bring it back in the future!
