Table Cueby Rain Kivela
Table Cue helps you choose from the board games you already own by remembering which boxes truly work for your people, your available time, your table and the mood of the evening.
Personal board-game fit notes for real home evenings.
No public rankings. No online catalogue. No account. The app focuses on your own collection and your own game-night history.
Most board-game shelves hold more options than a single evening needs. The difficult part is not finding a game in general; it is choosing one that suits the exact group, time limit, rules tolerance and atmosphere you have tonight.
Table Cue turns past sessions into practical memory. It helps surface games that have worked well in similar situations, highlights boxes that may take too long to teach or set up, and brings overlooked favorites back into view.
Choose the crew, available time, table size, preferred mood and desired rules load.
Compare good bets, fast wins, possible risks and games that have not been out lately.
Record setup, play time, cleanup, rule friction, table crowding and replay interest.
Understand what works at two, what suits family nights and what drags after a long day.
Set the conditions for the current evening and get locally calculated suggestions from your own history.
Keep a living shelf of player counts, typical timing, setup demands, table needs, moods and notes.
Save recurring groups and see which games tend to be easy wins or poor fits for each one.
Compare games using completed sessions, replay interest, energy, downtime and real timing.
Hold a small shortlist while the group decides, without losing the context of the evening.
Export your data as JSON, manage demo content and keep control of your shelf history.
Table Cue is designed as an offline iPhone utility. Your boxes, crews, sessions and fit notes are stored locally on your device. The core experience does not require an account, cloud storage, external game databases or social features.
