How we research a game

Every game starts with the question "how is this actually played?" We gather the common rule set, the house-rule variations, and the setup details people argue about - cup formations, re-rack conventions, what happens on a specific roll or card. Where a game's history or "official" rules are genuinely disputed, we say so rather than inventing a definitive answer.

How we check it

Before a game goes live, its rules are cross-checked against multiple accounts of how it's really played, so the page matches what happens at a real table - not just one person's version. The interactive play modes (card decks, dice rollers, timers) are tested against those same rules so what you play online matches what you read.

What "accurate" means to us

A rules page is accurate when a group can read it once and play correctly, with no arguments the page didn't already settle. That's the bar for every game.

Our safety standard

This is non-negotiable. A "drink" means a sip, drinks are always optional, and every game works alcohol-free. The heaviest games carry specific, real safety guidance, and the whole site follows a drink-responsibly ethos. Read the full safety guide.

Who this site is for

Content about alcohol is intended for people of legal drinking age (21+ in the US). The game mechanics are for everyone - which is why every page includes an alcohol-free option.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we want to know. Email [email protected] or use the contact page, and we'll fix verified corrections quickly. Each page shows when it was last updated.

How we make money

The site is free to use. We keep the games accurate and the advice honest regardless of how the site is funded - a recommendation is never for sale.
