Dized - Board Game Companion 4+

Hidden Gem!

I’m surprised that this app is not more popular. I used the tutorial feature to teach me how to play Tiny Epic Dungeons. It was INCREDIBLE. The tutorial is made to use as you play and will tell you the rules based off what happens in the game you are playing. I was very impressed with how thorough it was with including extra clarifications and side notes. Wonderful app. I have only used it for this one game so it is possible that their tutorials are not available for every game. Either way I think its worth a try.

Hi!
Thank you so much for the awesome review. This is exactly where we aim to be with Dized - the best, the easiest, and the most fun way to learn a new game.
We have more content coming in all the time (many Tiny Epic titles included), so stay tuned and have fun with Dized! :)

Not as good as I’d hoped

As a family man that enjoys playing all sorts of games with his family and a coder minimalist, I was really excited about Dized when I learned about it. I loved the idea of a digital repository where I could “store” my board game rulebooks.

Using Dized, however, is an entirely different story… Its UI just feels clunky and bulky and not well thought out. Navigating between “tabs” is harsh and viewing the hosted tutorials and rules is just weird. It looks like the rules are just web pages viewed from within the application… :/

Its features are lacking, too; I wish there was a way to favorite games so you can come back to them later. In addition, I still haven’t figured out what my “credits” are supposed to be used for…

Hello!
Thank you for your feedback and review. We're working hard to make Dized better. We're a small team and the progress has been somewhat slower we anticipated, but there has been a lot of progress despite that. We're constantly working on the features on the app itself, improving the UI and making Dized easier to use. We're also bringing in more and more content.
As for the credits: they'll work like a currency in Dized. Not quite yet as we're currently working on payment systems in general, but in the future you'll be able to buy content (tutorials, extras etc) with the credits. Stay tuned!

I’m impressed!

The tutorial implementations have been top notch! Makes learning a board game much easier. It even includes solo instructions, which are sometimes hard to find. Will definitely look for tutorials here before looking at videos.
