Tabletop Codex

This app is made with a ton of effort and is honestly the product of more care and attention than half the rulebooks it’s editing together. The developer is clearly passionate about the project and this app is the only way I was able to figure out how to play the kickstarter game I was waiting ages for whose rulebook was pretty messy. This is a really tidy way to track rules - especially if you’re someone who often finds yourself scrolling BGG threads while your friends hound you for a clarification. Thanks for making this great solution!

The Esoteric Order of Gamers’ ruleset summaries have been a huge resource for boardgamers for rule summaries and clarifications in a hobby where publishers are notorious for giving short shrift to the rulebooks. For over a decade, I have looked for EOoG summaries to print and place in my game boxes in order to make sense of and/or reference during play. Having this app and being able to have these references available electronically is fantastic! Especially if you have a large collection of games (or if yours is growing), this is definitely worthwhile…it is impossible to remember and keep track of which game says you must roll higher than or equal to a number to succeed! And it is a great way to refresh yourself on the rules before friends arrive for you to teach them.

I’ve been using this guy’s rule summaries for well over a decade, they are so much better than the rules he rewrites… It’s just no comparison. Now to have it on my mobile at my fingertips… This is perfect!
