Keep a private board game log
A private board game log is your own record of the games you own and every time they reach the table: who played, who won, how long it ran. Holigram keeps it as a Board Games collection you can open, edit, export, or delete, and answers from it when you need a game for tonight's group.
What does a board game log keep?
Each game carries its player range, play time and weight, and a play log of dated sessions; the grid shows how many plays a game has had this year. Add your own fields beside these.
| Field | Type |
|---|---|
| Title | Text |
| Publisher | Text |
| Year | Whole number |
| Min Players | Whole number |
| Max Players | Whole number |
| Play Time Minutes | Whole number |
| Bgg Weight | Rating |
| Bgg Rating | Rating |
| Genre | Text (suggested: Strategy, Family, Party, Co-op, Deck Building, and 12 more) |
| Plays | Dated log: Date, Players, Winner, Duration (Minutes), Note |
How do I add the games I own?
- Photograph the boxesOn a paid plan, photograph a stack of games and Holigram drafts a row for each box it can identify, for you to review.
- Describe themType the games you own, one per line, and the AI drafts each row with publisher, year, player counts and play time. You edit any cell before anything is saved.
- Import a spreadsheetUpload a CSV with a column for each field above except Plays, which you fill in Holigram. Games already in the collection are merged, and Holigram tells you what it imported, merged, and skipped.
- Say it in passingTell Spotlight "we just bought Cascadia", typed or spoken, and an entry card for Board Games appears with the details drafted. Nothing is saved until you tap it.
What can I ask my board game collection?
- Six friends are coming over at eight. Which games play six in under an hour?
- Your nephew is visiting for the weekend. Which of my family games are the lightest to learn?
- A new strategy game is on sale. Which strategy games do I already own, and which is the heaviest?
Can it plan a game night across the table and the console?
Yes. Name Board Games and Video Games together in Spotlight and the answer draws on both, so a request for a co-op night can mix a game from the cupboard with one on the console.
Board Games is one of 60+ ready-made collections you can add to your Holigram.
