Family game night collapses over rule disputes and "house rules"
Pain point
UNO with kids/students devolves into cheating accusations because nobody plays by the printed rules; adults lack a neutral arbiter.
Signal
Biggest post in the set (~6,550 upvotes) showing huge demand for screen-free kid games; the lone complaint is specific and visceral (teacher: "turns into a big fuss"). One thread only — moderate signal.
Opportunity
A "Referee" app — scan the box, get the official rules, plus a *house-rules contract* screen everyone taps to agree to before play (stacking? draw-until-playable?), and a kid-friendly turn/penalty tracker. Monetize via classroom/teacher site licenses and affiliate game sales. **Quick to build**; moat is the curated rules + dispute database.
