Support RuleShelf

RuleShelf's rules pages, dispute pages, and printable score sheets are free, and stay free, regardless of whether you ever contribute anything. This page is for readers who'd like to support the research and writing behind the site directly, as an alternative or addition to purchasing the Score Sheet Mega-Pack.

What a contribution actually funds

Verifying a single game's rules against multiple sources, writing an original explanation from scratch, and then checking it again for the specific edge cases people argue about takes real research time — multiplied across a growing catalogue of games, dispute pages, and score sheets. Contributions go directly toward that ongoing work: covering new games, expanding dispute coverage for games already on the site, and keeping existing pages accurate as rules references get updated or corrected.

How it works

Contributions start at $5 and can be one-time or recurring, whichever you prefer. Nothing on the free site is gated behind a contribution — every rules page, dispute page and score sheet stays exactly as accessible to a reader who's never contributed as to one who has. Recurring contributions can be changed or canceled at any time through the payment processor's own portal, and doing so has no effect on anything you've already read or printed from the site.

If you'd rather get something in return

The Score Sheet Mega-Pack bundles every printable score sheet on the site into one organized download for a one-time $9.99 — a good option if you'd like to support the site and walk away with something genuinely useful for your next game night.

Other ways to help that cost nothing

Reporting a rules correction through the contact page or requesting a game that isn't covered yet both directly improve the site at no cost, and a link shared with a table that just had a rules argument settled here is worth more to a small, independently-run reference site than it might seem.

Thank you for reading, and for keeping a rules argument from ruining game night.
