Settle the argument.

Somebody just played a Draw Four and the table has stopped. Someone says you can't stack. Someone says you always could. One of them is right, and it isn't who you think.

01 β€” the good part

Rules everyone plays
that were never rules

Not one of these appears in any published rulebook. All of them are played constantly. That gap is the whole reason this exists.

02 β€” the honest clock

The box is lying to you

Every playtime here is recorded twice: what the box claims, and what it actually takes. Filter on the second one.

03 β€” tonight

What should we play?

03 β€” the party game about the rules

Official rule,
or made up?

Ten rulings. You guess. Most people score worse than they expect, which is the entire point of the registry.

10 questions Β· about a minute
04 β€” the hall of shame

The museum of
rules that never were

Ranked by how certain everybody is. A rule played almost everywhere that appears in no rulebook sits at the top, because that is the one where both sides will fight you.

05 β€” where they came from

The family tree

Uno is Crazy Eights wearing a hat. Ludo is Pachisi with the interesting rule removed. House rules cluster by descent, which is why the same arguments keep reappearing in different games.

06 β€” not everyone plays it your way

The same game,
played differently

Some of these rules are standard in one country and unheard of in the next. If you have ever played with someone from elsewhere and both been certain, this is usually why.

07 β€” no arithmetic arguments

Scoring, settled

The same engines the command line uses, imported straight from the repo and running on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.


  
08 β€” the back of an envelope, but better

Keep score

Round-by-round scoring for whatever you are playing. Saved on your device, survives a refresh, and works with no signal at all.

Add a couple of players to start a scorepad.

09 β€” at the table

The wifi will not hold

The whole registry ships inside the package. No network calls, ever β€” because the moment you need a ruling is the moment everyone is waiting.
