CheckPoint Gaming
With CheckPoint Gaming, we go over how to go about playing a variety of different games. But instead of doing a broad overview of how to play the game, we do a deep dive into the rules themselves. We go about achieving this by consolidating the rules and organizing the information into a manner where it is easy for new players to understand the rules as well as giving experienced gamers of a particular game a single source for them to review said information instead of having to comb over a variety of different rule books to find a given piece of information.
