Start2Play vs Rulecraft

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.

Rulecraft is the companion for game night. It answers rules questions about the game on your table, counts everyone's life, picks who goes first, plays music that fits the game and keeps a record of every play and every game you're after. Ask in your own words: the phase nobody remembers, the card that seems to break the game, how scoring actually works at the end. Rulecraft finds the rulebook, reads it, and answers with the sources it used, so you can check the answer instead of taking its word for it. RULES, ANSWERED • Ask anything about a game's rules, setup or scoring and get a straight answer • Watch the answer write itself in as it arrives, so you can start reading right away • See the rulebooks and pages every answer came from • Come back to any question you've asked: your history keeps the whole answer • Rulecraft tells you when it found nothing, when the rules only cover part of your question, and when the sources disagree. It never invents a ruling to fill the gap. AT THE TABLE • A counter for the whole table: keep everyone's life on one phone, or open a room so each player counts on their own • Who goes first? Everyone puts a finger on the screen and Rulecraft picks one • Every game gets its own soundtrack, with ambience layered underneath EVERY PLAY, ON RECORD • Log what you played, who won and how long it took, with up to four photos. Your game nights stay here, day by day • Search and filter your plays by game, player, place or length • Keep the games you own in your collection, one tap away when an argument starts • Keep a wishlist of the games you're after, from Must have to Thinking about it, with a note for each • Link your BoardGameGeek account to sync your collection, your wishlist and your plays both ways DISCOVER • Search the board game catalogue and see what everyone is playing in the daily ranking • Game pages dressed in the colours of each box, with community photos, complexity, ratings and descriptions in your language MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open your iPhone Duo and Rulecraft opens with it: game pages, your play log and the music player spread across both halves, and the life counter keeps every player's panel clear of the fold.
