Great app

This app is made with a ton of effort and is honestly the product of more care and attention than half the rulebooks it’s editing together. The developer is clearly passionate about the project and this app is the only way I was able to figure out how to play the kickstarter game I was waiting ages for whose rulebook was pretty messy.

This is a really tidy way to track rules - especially if you’re someone who often finds yourself scrolling BGG threads while your friends hound you for a clarification. Thanks for making this great solution!

Great board game accessory!

Easy to use and excellent game instructions. Perfect game accessory.

All round quality

The guides are well written and provably very helpful. I can vouch for the excellent service provided to fix any problems.

Useful and easy to use

Great aid to playing games. Read as a catch up when about to play a game and use during a game when querying a rule or point.

Great app!

Easy to find the rule you need for the game you have at the table.

Very useful

Great app adaptation of essential reference material . Beats printing and better for my old eyes !

Complete Library

I recently purchased the rulebook summary of Aeon Trespass Odyssey. This format helped me learn the rules much more easily than going through the 80 page rulebook, Without hesitation, I subscribed for the year and have access to the whole library. Great investment.

Absolutely magnificent

I’ve been using this guy’s rule summaries for well over a decade, they are so much better than the rules he rewrites… It’s just no comparison. Now to have it on my mobile at my fingertips… This is perfect!

Invaluable Resource!

The Esoteric Order of Gamers’ ruleset summaries have been a huge resource for boardgamers for rule summaries and clarifications in a hobby where publishers are notorious for giving short shrift to the rulebooks.

For over a decade, I have looked for EOoG summaries to print and place in my game boxes in order to make sense of and/or reference during play. Having this app and being able to have these references available electronically is fantastic!

Especially if you have a large collection of games (or if yours is growing), this is definitely worthwhile…it is impossible to remember and keep track of which game says you must roll higher than or equal to a number to succeed! And it is a great way to refresh yourself on the rules before friends arrive for you to teach them.

Great app! Great service!

Not only are the game rule summaries excellent, but Peter has been wonderful in dealing with any app issues.

Highly recommended.

Great App

This app makes playing board games so much easier to play and get to the table. Less time learning means more time playing!

Fantastic and innovative

I play a LOT of different board games , and hate carrying around printed out quick reference sheets etc . This app solves that problem by putting them all in my pocket . Love it !

Needs different monetization

I love this designer’s work and have downloaded countless of his PDF board game cheat sheets. I think this app is really cool and deserves to be paid. But subscription doesn’t make sense as a model. I feel it should be more like $X to buy Y game rules and have permanent access. Imagine I have a small collection of 4-5 games. Should I really expect to pay every month indefinitely to access a small library of content? Please consider alternate methods of funding. It would transform the app for me, at least.

Stunning! A wonderful app for board and miniatures gamers

The one problem with board and miniatures games is the obtuse, difficult to comprehend rules as written!

Pete is a master graphic designer and has incredible deciphering skills and for over a decade he’s been wowing the world of gaming with his refined summary sheets and easy to follow guides.

It’s only natural that he’s now created an app!
Instead of having to print off reams of material (not many of us have a home printer these days either), Pete has designed a beautiful app to have his designs handy right on our phones!

Take the pain out of your game night, pull out that game that looked great but the rules were in hieroglyphics and whack on the app to guide you through the fun!

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.

Woohoo

All your rules summaries in one place and you don’t have to destroy natural resources to read them anymore 😁

My prayers have been answered

I no longer have to search through the dozens of PDFs that I’ve collected over the years from the esoteric order of gamers, I can now have them all in one app!

Excellent!

Great app for getting board games setup and playing on the table!

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.
