Sync the board game collection you already keep on BoardGameGeek, shortlist tonight's contenders on the table, and let the cards decide. Your whole shelf, ready when friends show up.


If it's on BoardGameGeek, it's in the app. One sign-in pulls your entire owned collection — box art, player counts, play time and ratings — and keeps it on your phone, ready offline for the table.

Browse your whole collection as a Kallax-style cube grid or a tidy list. Filter by who's coming and how long you've got — players, play time, weight, rating — and the night's real options rise to the top.

Pull up to six real contenders onto The Table — a staggered spread where every box shows at its true shape. Lay your background in felt, wine, slate or wood grain. This is the pile you actually choose from.

Table set? Draw. One flip picks the winner with a little ceremony — and if the room groans, hit “not feeling it” to redeal. Confirm the pick and it even rolls for who goes first. Debate over, game on.

No spreadsheet, no fifteen-minute standoff in front of the shelf. Just the part where you actually start playing.
Sign in with BoardGameGeek once and your whole collection loads onto your phone.
Filter to who's here and how long you've got, then add the night's contenders to The Table.
Let Card Draw flip a winner and roll for first player. Debate's over — start playing.
Shelf Control: Game Night is coming to iPhone and Android. Built for groups who'd rather start playing than spend half the night picking.
“What should we play?” — answered before the snacks are open.
