Dized are a fantastic company that are coming out with an App which will teach you your games as you play.
Lots of groups either have one person that learns the games, which can lead to some mistakes, or they just can't digest rulebooks.
This app sounds like a great idea and they already have all manner of games lined up.
This! This is such a great idea. It usually falls to myself or one of the other guys in our gaming group to sort out the rules and sometimes layouts, ambiguous wording or just our eagerness to get the game on the table can lead to slowing down the game or needing to stop and re-read sections to sort it out. Being able to grab an app and search for step by step examples should help with that :).
Saw this at Salute, it is very cool.
Fantastic idea.
That is a good idea. Its all about what games they have available to learn and if it gets updated for new games in a timely manner. Very interesting.
Brilliantttttttttttttttt
I wonder if this will catch on, or if individual companies will take over this space with their own apps. several games have assistant and play apps already.
Great idea for an app.
That is an awesome idea!
Very interesting to see how this will develop
It’s a great idea, I may have said the same during the Salute live blog, but the challenge for getting popular will be how this the subscription is priced. It looks like a premium product, so won’t be cheap for them to make for each game.
looks good
Nifty but not big on apps.
It’s a good idea. Prize will make or break it I think..
a really good idea – learning a new board game is often what has the games just sitting on shelves..
It is a great idea. It will be well worth it to see how they go forward from here. I hope they can truly execute this app to it’s potential.
Looks cool
Ah finally – after seeing ads everywhere for Dized I now know what it does! And it sounds very cool. Could be a big tool for solo games, either as the AI player or bespoke solo variants programmed in. Lots of possibilities!!
Sounds like a pocket Rodney Smith…I’m all for this.
Great initiative, but seems lot of work to cover such ammount of games available nowadays, but great thinking yes!
Nice idea, will big companies back this up or just small gaming companies?
Such a great idea, I’m wondering how it will be priced.
This has to be a no-brainer for any games company, imagine getting real time feed back from a huge number of play testers while developing a game.
I think this is a great idea. In our board gaming group there is literally one person who learns all the rules for the rest of us. Making their job easier would be worth it.
I saw their stand at the Berlin Games Convention in July. Now I know what this is all about.
Great concept. Will innovate the way games are learned.
