Roll Play · Private beta for iPhone & Android

Chat with your board game library.

Roll Play is a new app for board game collectors, on iPhone and Android. Link your BoardGameGeek collection — just your username, no password — and meet Pip, your AI game assistant. Pip knows every game on your shelf, and helps you decide what to play, plan game nights, and discover what to buy next.

The waitlist is your beta invite. Confirm your email and you're in line for the beta on iPhone and Android — and you'll know the moment Roll Play ships. No spam, ever.

Pip has read your whole library.

Pip is an AI assistant that knows every game you own — the details, the player counts, even your friends' collections. Ask it anything.

Your library

Your collection never looked so good.

Roll Play pulls the highest-resolution box art available and paints each screen to match it — backgrounds, titles, and accents drawn straight from the cover. Browse it your way.

  • Four views: a smooth Waterfall of true-aspect covers, a clean Grid, plus List and Compact.
  • Dynamic, art-driven color on every page — your shelf, in its best light.
  • Fast and fluid, built to feel right at home on iPhone and Android.

A feed that reshuffles itself every day.

Home

Something new every day.

Home isn't a static list — it's a daily-refreshing discovery surface that helps you rediscover what you own and find what you don't. Pull to refresh and the whole feed regenerates with a fresh angle.

  • Editorial Top Picks and the live BGG Hotness.
  • ~20 rotating themed and decade shelves — co-op, sci-fi, wargames, "Hits of the 1990s."
  • Friend-overlap shelves, expansions for games you love, and daily wishlist picks.

Every game

Know every game inside out.

  • Recommended and community "best" player counts, rank, rating, and weight.
  • "Would I Like This?" — Pip predicts whether it's for you, based on your library.
  • Similar games, owned-or-not expansions, and one-tap jumps to BGG.
Roll Play meaning-based search results for 'a spooky game for Halloween'

"Spooky games for Halloween" — ranked by how well each game fits.

Search

Search by meaning, not just keywords.

Type a name, a designer, or a mechanic and Roll Play finds it — typos and all. But the real magic is describing the kind of game you want, the way you'd say it to a friend: it reads the idea behind your words and surfaces games that fit the vibe, even when they never use those words.

  • Describe a vibe — "an epic space opera," "something cozy for two" — and get games that genuinely fit, not just ones with those words in the title.
  • Point it at your own shelf or the wider world of popular games — pull up a game you own, or discover one you don't (it flags the ones you already have).
  • Still does the literal stuff: search by name, designer, mechanic, or category, forgiving about spelling and partial names.

Find anything, instantly.

The bigger your collection, the more powerful this gets. Search and filter by how games actually play — not just by their names.

Universal search

Search far beyond titles — mechanics, gameplay style, designers, and more. Find games by how they play.

Filter & sort

Player count, "plays with," play time, weight, best count, theme, base vs. expansion — combine them to find exactly what you want.

Group your shelf

Group by complexity, decade, player count, plays, or rating tier in the List and Compact views.
