"Because 'what should we play?' shouldn't take longer than the game itself."
The app that turns your board game shelf into a decision engine — filter your collection down to tonight's perfect match, then let a little randomness do the rest.
What It Does
Shelf Control: Game Night connects to your BoardGameGeek collection and brings all your games with you. Tell it who's playing and how much time you have, dial in the complexity level, and it narrows your shelf to exactly the right candidates for tonight.
Whether your shelf holds classics like Catan, Ra, and Ticket to Ride or modern favorites like Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, and Cascadia — Shelf Control: Game Night knows your collection and helps you pick the right game for tonight.
When you've narrowed it down but can't quite commit, add your top picks to The Table and let a card draw settle it. Game night starts now.
How It Works
Your games, ready to go. Sync your BoardGameGeek collection in seconds — no manual entry, no duplicating work you've already done.
How many players? How much time? How complex? Set your filters and let Shelf Control narrow your shelf down to the games that actually work right now.
Add your top picks to The Table and draw a card. Or roll the dice. Either way, the debate is over — game night starts now.
The Story
"Built by a board gamer with too many games and not enough game nights — Shelf Control: Game Night is the app I wished existed every time my game group spent more time choosing than playing."
For every game group that's spent 45 minutes picking a 30-minute game.
