So far creating a game would involve searching in a small list of predefined templates that I had to validate manually. I did my best to add the most well known board games(did validate a little over 100 games) but of course this takes a lot of time and is not very flexible.

I am proud to announce that starting with version 2.3 this process is now in the hands of all the awesome ScorePal users(yes this is you). Did you use a game template that suited your needs? Great! Vote for it and everyone else will find it a lot faster. Didn’t find the scoring template you wanted? No worries, build your own and the app makes it available for everyone to vote on it.

What better way to understand a feature then with an infographic?
