Getting started
Get started in 3 simple steps.
Pick the game, lock the right source, and ask the question that would normally stop the table.
1
Choose your game
Search the shelf once, open the title you are playing, and skip the usual rummaging before setup even starts.
2
Pick the rule source
Select the official pack or the language bundle you trust, so answers stay tied to the rules your table is using.
3
Ask and keep playing
Use quick prompts or type your own question, then get back to the turn before the whole table drifts.
