About Me and the Helpers

Thank you for visiting my boardgame helper website! These web apps are designed to help you more easily and fairly randomization the various items needed during setup. From turn order to player roles to component layouts, they follow the rules of setup and provide additional details when needed. In general, they assume you already have basic knowledge of each game's setup procedure and are meant to augment it, not replace it.
