About BG Genius
BG Genius transforms complex board game rulebooks into interactive, step-by-step tutorials. Instead of reading through pages of rules, players learn by doing — with quizzes, visual flowcharts, and hands-on activities that build understanding layer by layer.
How it works
Each tutorial breaks a game down into digestible layers, starting with the core concept and gradually introducing mechanics, scoring, and strategy. You can pause at any time, pick up where you left off, and skip ahead if you already know a section.
Who is this for?
- Game night hosts who want to teach new games quickly and clearly
- Players who prefer learning by doing over reading rulebooks
- Board game clubs looking for a shared teaching resource
Behind the scenes
BG Genius was built for the Spielegesellschaft Solothurn board game club, home to over 950 games. Teaching complex games well is an art — this tool aims to make it accessible to everyone.
