When I tell people I play board games, I often hear something like, "I'd like to get into it, but it seems kinda complicated." To a certain extent, they're right. Many modern board games come with a slew of unfamiliar terms and mechanics, making them seem daunting to newcomers (See example on right). Hearing this repeatedly, I began to think about how I could help people find games that matched their preferences and needs with an app. However, my own experiences weren't sufficient to justify moving forward with the project. I had to show that there was a real problem and that people actually wanted a solution. I needed to validate if there was enough demand for it in the market.
