Game Shrew gives you a quick and reliable reference to the rules of many sports, card games, and board games, plus a few others. Rather than scrolling through pages and pages of search results, Game Shrew has an accurate set of rules that you can read on your phone without an internet connection. This app is good for several things. One is if you are watching a sport on T.V. and want to know what a key term means, such as what is a safety in football. Reading through a rules page in any of the three categories can give you a good idea of how the sport or game is played. This app describes the setup and playing of card games and party games in very precise details. Plus this app includes videos in case you dont feel like reading! This app also helps you discover new games to play with friends and family!
