Turn shelf photos into a playable library. Scan games, get instant rule answers, and track scores - your board game nights, supercharged.
Meet Board Game Sidekick - the fast, friendly companion for game nights. Scan a shelf photo to identify games, ask rulebook questions in plain English, and keep easy track of your scores. Less fiddling, more playing.
Why you’ll love it:
• Scan & recognise games: snap a photo of your shelf and get a tidy list of titles to add to your library.
• Rulebook Q&A (AI-powered): ask “How many cards for 3 players?” Answers come from the attached rulebook.
• Scorekeeping that’s actually nice: smart categories per game, quick entry, player summaries, and history.
• Your library, organized: search, filter, sort; jump to rules Q&A or scoring from any game.
• Import from BoardGameGeek: pull in your collection to get started fast.
• Lots of fun and useful board game tools like a first player picker & dice roller to supercharge your game night.
How it works
1. Scan: take a photo of your games to recognize titles and add them in a tap.
2. Ask: refer to the PDF rulebook in-app and ask natural-language questions.
3. Score: track per-player totals with clear categories and save results.
Privacy
