Start2Play vs Tabletop Tracker

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.

Tabletop Tracker is the easiest way to catalogue your board game collection, remember every game night, and always find the right game to play. Add your games in seconds — snap a photo and pull in the players, play time, rating and more automatically from BoardGameGeek, or enter them by hand. Then make the collection yours with locations, tags, house rules and ratings. FIND THE RIGHT GAME Filter your shelf by player count, play time, age, rating, play style and how easy a game is to teach. Can't decide? Tap "Feeling lucky" and let the app pick one for tonight. TRACK YOUR PLAYS Log who played, who won and each player's score. Build up stats and leaderboards for your group, keep high scores per game, and even save a half-finished game with photos of the board to pick up later. GAME NIGHTS & GROUPS Create gaming groups for your regular crew — with a members roster that auto-fills the scorecard — and see who's winning across all your nights. SHARE WITH FRIENDS Publish your collection with a simple share code and browse everyone's games together on one shared bookshelf. See which friends own a game you've wishlisted, and get suggestions from friends whose taste matches yours. BUILT-IN TOOLS A dice roller, a "who goes first" picker, a calculator and a scorepad — everything you need at the table, in one place. WISHLIST Keep track of games you'd love to own, spot which friends could lend you one, and move a game into your collection the moment you buy it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your collection lives on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a library or export a backup — no ads, no tracking, no account required. Free to use, and made with love for board game lovers.
