About Board Game Shelf
Game Shelf is the ultimate app for board game lovers. Powered by BoardGameGeek, it helps you organize your collection, track every play with detailed statistics and discover the hottest new games. Discover Trending Games: Browse the hottest board games on BoardGameGeek. Search for any game and instantly see player counts, playtime, ratings, and more. Build Your Collection: Add games to your collection or wishlist by searching, scanning a barcode or importing your BGG collection. Organize them with custom lists and filters. Track multiple copies with edition, language, condition, purchase and storage details. Mark copies for sale, for trade or previously owned, while each game appears once. Add personal ratings, with six short questions to help you find your score. Can't Decide What to Play? Get personalised game suggestions based on your play history, player group, available time and preferred complexity. Choose familiar games, new experiences or a mix, filter by personal rating, and see why each game fits. Playtime estimates use your recorded sessions. Log Every Play: Enter duration directly or record start and end times. Record your game sessions with players, scores, winners, time, location, notes, and photos. Quickly replay a previous session (so the same players, same game) with one tap. Challenges: Set goals for plays, different games, new games or time spent playing. Start from a template, customise your goal and period, and choose progress reminders if you fall behind. Share a card with your challenge statistics. Detailed Statistics Explore your most-played games, player win rates, locations and trends over time. Track player experience and levels, overall Player ELO, and per-game player and team ratings, with separate solo and cooperative performance ratings. Sync & Backup Sync across devices with iCloud. Export and import backups with copy details and collection history, choose custom lists separately, or export your games as CSV. Made for You: Customize your experience with alternative app icons, dark mode, grid or list views, and custom game images or titles. Access your collection, plays, and stats instantly with home screen widgets and quick actions. Game Shelf Pro: Unlock more with Game Shelf Pro: • Import your play history from BoardGameGeek. • Player Groups: save your regular groups for faster logging and filter plays and stats by group. • Player Comparison: compare wins, win rates, streaks and favourite games, and share a rivalry card. • Live sessions: pause and resume, manage players and seating order, track rounds and take notes. Sessions recover after reopening the app; pauses do not count towards playtime. • Loans: see games on loan in your collection and link each loan to a specific copy. • Detailed scoring for games including Wondrous Creatures, Akropolis, Clank! Catacombs and Endeavor: Deep Sea, with supported expansion fields. Missing your favourite? Contact me! Game Shelf is free to use.
