Rulebook

Piochons plays in four phases.

Like any good game, there's a setup, a turn and an end of game. The difference: this game lasts ten seconds.

1Goal of the game

Get a game off the shelf before someone says "shall we just play Uno again?". Piochons doesn't decide for you: it offers a card, and the table decides.

2Setup

Put your collection in the app. The add sheet stays open, so you can go through box after box without closing it.

  • Forgiving search"ticket rail", "7 wonder", "quacks": typos and accents don't get in the way.
  • Box photoThe title is read from the lid, and the photo becomes the game's cover.
  • BarcodeA bonus: public databases cover board games poorly. Every code you link helps the next players.
  • By handFor your cousin's prototype. Players, time and mood can be filled in later on the game sheet.

3Turn

  1. 1
    Set

    How many meeples at the table, how much time you have, which mood. And "beginners at the table" if someone is new.

  2. 2
    Draw

    The deck gets thicker or thinner with the number of games that fit. A card flips over.

  3. 3
    Decide

    "Another" puts it back under the deck for the night. "Let's play!" starts the game timer.

4End of game

"Finish": who played, who won (or "everyone", in co-op), how long it took. One gesture, and the play joins the history.

The shelf

Your collection, arranged like your shelves.

A grid of boxes, filters that answer the real questions, and one sheet per game that remembers what you forget between game nights.

The game sheet remembers

Personal notes
"House rule: 2 extra destination cards at 2 players." Read again when the box comes out.
Lending
Lent to Hugo: the game leaves the deck until it's back, and you know where it is.
Complexity 1 to 5
So that "beginners at the table" doesn't hand Terraforming Mars to your mother-in-law.
History
Every play of the game, with its date, players and winner.

Score sheet

Game nights add up.

The Plays tab keeps the house score sheet: what comes out, for how long, and who wins a little too often.
