Fair game voting
What are we playing tonight? The group decides – fairly.
Everyone picks their top 3, Playnexi counts the points. Four modes downweight games you have just played – so the same game doesn't land on the table every week and the whole collection gets a chance.
Included in every plan · on your phone or around the table · guests without an account too
How a vote works
Three steps instead of twenty chat messages.
Set the ballot
When creating the night you decide which collections are up for a vote – or all games of the group.
Everyone picks top 3
In advance on their own phone or around the table on the night. First place counts three points, second two, third one.
Result, play, next round
The game with the most points wins. After the game the next round starts – played games are marked.
Four modes against the same-game-every-week problem
Every group knows it: one favourite wins every vote, the other thirty games gather dust. The mode is chosen once in the group settings and applies to all nights.
Classic
Pure vote count. The game with the most points wins, no downweighting.
Fair recommended
Frequently played games are gently downweighted so other games get a chance.
Explorer
Noticeable downweighting of played games. For groups that like to try something new regularly.
Adventurer
Strong downweighting: played once, and its chances drop clearly. For groups with a big collection.
The period for downweighting is adjustable: three months, six months, one year or everything the group has ever played.
What else voting does
In advance on the phone
Members with an account vote whenever they like – on their phone, no app. The invitation contains the link.
Around the table
In live mode the tablet goes from hand to hand. Guest players without an account submit their top 3 as well.
Several rounds per night
First game over? New round, new vote. Played games are marked automatically.
Long-term memory
Playnexi knows what your group has played in recent months and factors it into the downweighting.
Wheel of fortune
Not in the mood for voting? The wheel in live mode draws a game from the selection.
Location vote
Whose place tonight? Participants vote on the locations from your location pool.
Ideas from real game groups
Family stuck on one favourite
The kids want the same game every week. Explorer mode, three-month period – and suddenly Carcassonne is back on the table.
Big collection, few nights
Eighty games on the shelf, two nights a month. Adventurer mode makes sure the collection gets played in its full breadth.
The endless chat
Instead of “What are we playing?” with forty replies: link into the group, everyone picks top 3, the result is in by the afternoon.
Meetup with strangers
Ten people who barely know each other. The tablet goes around, everyone votes, nobody has to sign up.
“In Playnexi game voting every player picks their top 3: first place counts three points, second two, third one. Four modes downweight recently played games so the whole collection makes it to the table.”
