Features
Read full description

Start2Play is the friend at the table who already knows the rules. Scan a board game box and start playing in minutes instead of reading the rulebook. SCAN ANY GAME Point your camera at the box and Start2Play finds the game, with player count and playtime. Can't scan it? Search by name. SETUP AND RULES IN SECONDS Get a clear guide for every game: how to set it up, how a turn works, how to score, and the mistakes new players make. ASK OUT LOUD Stuck mid-game? Ask your rules question out loud and hear the answer, without putting your cards down. HOST MODE Let Start2Play teach the game to the whole table, out loud, like a game show host. It keeps playing with the screen locked. SETTLE ARGUMENTS Describe the disagreement and get a ruling based on the rules, not on who argues loudest. WHO GOES FIRST Everyone puts a finger on the screen and Start2Play picks the first player. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Start2Play speaks 31 languages. The app, the guides, Host Mode and spoken answers all follow the language you choose. FREE AND PRO Free: unlimited scans and rules for 3 new games a month. Pro: unlimited rules and every feature.
