Terms of Service

Meeple Guru is a free, community-supported tool that helps board game players find answers to rules questions. It uses AI to search through game manuals and return answers with citations to the relevant sections of the rulebook.

Board game rulebooks and manuals displayed on Meeple Guru are the copyrighted property of their respective publishers. Meeple Guru does not claim ownership of any rulebook content.

Rulebook content is used for the purpose of helping players reference game rules. All content is attributed to the original publisher.

If you are a rights holder and would like your content removed, please see the Copyright Takedown section below.

Game metadata and cover images may be sourced from BoardGameGeek (BGG). Cover images are the property of their respective publishers and are used solely for game identification purposes.

Meeple Guru is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by BoardGameGeek or any board game publisher unless explicitly stated on a game’s page.

Answers on Meeple Guru are AI-generated from rulebook content and are not official rulings from game publishers. Meeple Guru is not affiliated with or endorsed by any publisher.

Answers may contain errors — always defer to the official printed rulebook for definitive rule interpretations. The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.

You agree not to:

• Systematically scrape, download, or redistribute rulebook content from Meeple Guru
• Attempt to reconstruct complete rulebooks from the tool’s outputs
• Use the service to infringe on any intellectual property rights
• Abuse the Q&A system with automated or excessive requests

To keep the service available for everyone, Q&A requests are rate-limited. Excessive usage may result in temporary throttling.

Meeple Guru is free for all users with no ads, subscriptions, or paywalled features. Voluntary donations (via Buy Me a Coffee) help cover hosting and AI service costs. There is no profit motive — the project operates at cost as a community resource.

Donations do not grant any additional access or privileges.

For details on how we handle personal data, including your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), see our Privacy Policy.
