How a game flashcard app fits into your study routine

Ready-made game decks cover someone else's edition, so they often miss your house rules or the strategy notes from your own table. DeckOwl works from your own files instead, such as a rulebook PDF, a slide deck or photos of notes, and builds a game flashcard app deck from them quickly.

Upload a rulebook PDF, slides, typed notes or a photo of a reference card
Cards pull out rules, terms and strategy points, one idea per card
Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you miss
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus when you want to study outside the browser

Example chess rules flashcards

What is en passant?A pawn captures an enemy pawn that just advanced two squares past it, as if that pawn had moved one square, and only on the very next move.

What is a stalemate?A position where the side to move has no legal move and is not in check, which ends the game as a draw.

What does the 50-move rule cover?A player may claim a draw if 50 consecutive moves by each side pass with no pawn move and no capture.

What is zugzwang?A position where any legal move makes the mover's position worse, even though a move must still be made.

What is a fork?A single piece attacks two or more enemy pieces at the same time.

Study

Review in the browser and let spaced repetition set the schedule.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a chess rulebook?

Aim for one card per rule or term, which usually means a few dozen cards for a full rulebook. Cards that test a single idea are easier to recall than long ones.

How often should I review game strategy flashcards?

Review new cards the same day, then let spaced repetition stretch out the ones you keep getting right. Short daily sessions of 10 to 15 minutes tend to work better than one long cram.

Is there a free version of this flashcard app?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. Students get 40% off with a school email.
