AI / Rules Accuracy Disclaimer

1. What the assistant is

Board Game Guru's assistant is a question-and-answer feature powered by large language models. When you ask a question, we send the model your question, the relevant game's rules text, the player count you have selected, and a summary of your recent conversation. The model generates an answer from that material.

2. What it is not

  • Not the official rulebook. It is grounded in rulebook text, but it is not the rulebook itself.
  • Not a tournament arbiter. Do not use it to settle competitive disputes, prize-pool play, or contests.
  • Not a legal or contractual adviser. It cannot interpret legal text, even when a game's rules read like one.
  • Not infallible. Answers can be wrong.

3. Why answers can be wrong

  • Hallucination. The model can invent rules that sound plausible but aren't in the source.
  • Wrong edition. A game may have been re-edited; the rulebook we have may differ from the one in your box.
  • Partial coverage. Some expansions, promo cards, and house rules are not in the rulebook we have.
  • Language differences. A translated rulebook may differ from the English source we hold.
  • Ambiguity in the source. Where the rulebook is unclear, the model may make a confident guess.

4. What we do

  • Keep rules text current and add new editions when we learn of them.
  • Use models chosen for faithfulness to a provided document.
  • Respond to feedback. Every game page has a feedback button; use it when an answer is wrong.

5. What we ask of you

  • Verify before you act. If a rules question matters — a tie-breaker, a contested point, a tournament outcome — check the printed rulebook.
  • Tell us when we're wrong. Use the feedback button on a question or email privacy@boardgameguru.org with "Wrong answer" in the subject line.
  • Don't use the assistant for what it isn't. It is a study aid for casual play.
