Questions

How does the board game picker work?

It deals 20 games from BoardGameGeek's trending and top-ranked lists. Swipe yes, no or maybe; at the end you get your shortlist, and "Pick one for me" chooses at random from your yeses.

Can it use the games we own?

Inside the app, yes: sync a BoardGameGeek collection or hand-pick your shelf, and decks deal from it. This quick picker uses the BGG lists.

Can the whole table decide?

Yes — "Swipe these with the table" turns your picks into a party. Players join with a six-letter code, everyone swipes privately, and pickaru shows what the table agrees on.
