NexTurn is the companion that will elevate game night. Whether you’re teaching a new game or racing the clock, NexTurn keeps the table moving — it tracks whose turn it is, runs the timers, walks you through setup, and keeps score, so you can focus on playing instead of refereeing. Built in flows make it easier to see what is happening in each phase of a game.

Every game has a story. Turn Table brings your collection, game nights, live turn timing, play history, and memories together in one board game companion. YOUR GAMES. YOUR COLORS. • Browse your owned games, wishlist, pre-orders, previously owned games, and trade and sale lists. • Choose game-inspired collection colors or a beautifully neutral look. • Track copies, editions, acquisition details, tags, and private notes. • Sort and filter your shelf, find unplayed games, and use Play Next to choose from games you already own. • Connect BoardGameGeek to sync your collection and play history, or import from CSV. SEE THE GAMES. REMEMBER THE DAYS. • Explore your plays in a calendar of game covers, a year overview, a detailed list, or a journal view. • Log plays manually or save completed Turn Table sessions. • Keep games, players, scores, winners, duration, and locations together. • Add memories and photos to a play journal so the story stays after the game ends. • Upload completed plays to BoardGameGeek and manage sync status from Play Details. LESS "WHOSE TURN?" MORE GAME TIME. • Host a game and invite nearby players or browser guests with a code or QR link. • See the active and next player, track rounds and phases, and follow individual turn time and total game time. • Randomize or reorder players, choose the first player, pause, and undo turns. • Record numeric scores, multiple winners, cooperative results, notes, and feedback. • Reuse score sheets and game templates, share a recap, or start a rematch. YOUR CAMPAIGN CONTINUES • Keep campaign stages, progress, and linked plays together. • Follow completed stages and pick up where your group left off. • Keep a campaign's progress separate from the memories and results of each play. THE GROUP CHAT HAS A GAME PLAN • Create Game Nights with candidate games, availability, locations, groups, and voting. • Invite friends, collect responses, and publish the selected game. • Turn a planned Game Night into a live session when everyone arrives. THE NEXT GAME. NOT JUST ANOTHER GAME. • Explore potential purchases with Buy Next. • Browse BoardGameGeek ratings, descriptions, and community information. • Compare a contender with your collection before making room on your shelf.

MORE ROOM. YOUR WAY. Layouts adapt to iPhone, iPad, and both Duo displays. On supported wide layouts, browse your collection beside game details or hide the sidebar to focus. Switch between calendar, list, and journal views to see your history your way. YOUR TABLE, AT A GLANCE Native widgets keep recent play activity and Game Night plans close. Apple Watch controls, notifications, and Live Activities help keep the current game within reach. Turn Table is offline-first, with local persistence for active sessions and history. Optional iCloud features synchronize supported data, and nearby play helps Apple devices stay connected around the same table. From your first turn to your next campaign chapter, spend less time managing and more time playing.
