What if you could have all the information about your boardgames in one beautiful location? Not only the data coming from the online database (BoardGameGeek), but also your custom data & play sessions. What if it could translate the information to any language? We have systems at our fingertips that allow us to translate to any language in the world. We use those systems to allow you to translate descriptions & comments. By making use of BoardGameGeek & BoardGameAtlas we are able to give you an enourmous amount of information about your collection and/or about board games you want to check out. No database is perfect so we created a way for you to add to the existing data. You can add videos (f.e.: how to play), website urls (f.e.: alternate play rules), images (f.e.: your pictures), your notes, game language, tags, purchase date & purchase price and more. Finding new board game(s) can be very exciting, so we are giving you options to be able to find cool new games. You can view dynamic lists and you can search the database with various filters. Search filters like player count, age, play time, ... Choosing a board game to play is not always easy, that is why we give you multiple options to filter your collection: name, cooperative play, number of players, playtime, release year, is digital, difficulty, tags or/and a favorite. Even with all these filters it can be hard to choose, some people just have a lot of very cool games in their collection. For these situations we have added a 'pick random' action to the list. An all inclusive solution: board game(s), tabletop games, family games, card games, ... We are a strong believer in open formats so My Board Game Collection uses an open format for its backup/restore files. Log your play sessions and keep track of what, when and where you played. You can also log who played and who won and with what score. Never forget. My Board Game Collection is fully usable in its free form, but creating an app requires a huge amount of time and resources. To be able to support My Board Game Collection going forward we have added ads & a couple of premium features. You can remove the ads and unlock the premium features in 2 ways: 1. FREE: You can watch reward videos that will give you ad free time with the app. This ad free time can also be used to use PREMIUM features. 2.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Askrule at none against My Board Game Collection's shown. Askrule also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). My Board Game Collection's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
