Somebody had to read the whole rule book. You did, and now the table knows it.

Among our board game stickers, this one is for the friend who actually reads the instructions: a round badge that says I Read the Rules So You Don’t Have To around an open book. It's an original RaZits design and a cheeky thank-you for whoever explains the game at every game night.

The design: a rules keeper's seal

I READ THE RULES arches across the top of a round badge and SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO curves along the bottom, both in black serif capitals. Two small tan six-point stars sit at the left and right between the lines, and a tan ring with a thin black outer line frames the whole seal.

At the center, inside a thin dashed circle, an open book fans out cream, parchment-toned pages over a dark red-brown cover. It carries no title, so it stands in for every rule book ever unfolded on a game table. The look is a clean vintage emblem in white, black, tan and parchment with that one deep red.

At most game nights, one person sat down with the instructions before anyone arrived. They settle the arguments, catch the skipped step and explain the turn order a third time without a sigh. This seal is their badge of honor.

Round, opaque and easy to apply

• Kiss-cut around the badge with a thin white border, so it lands as a neat circle
• Light can't pass through the vinyl, so it hides an old sticker or a paint scuff completely
• Presses on smoothly with no air bubbles caught underneath
• Durable vinyl for everyday use
• Give the surface a quick wipe before you apply it
• Original RaZits artwork, printed to order

Who it's for

Board game hosts, the friend who teaches every new game, game masters who keep the session on track and players who quietly know every exception. It sits well on a laptop lid, a planner or the lid of a game storage box. Give it as a host thank-you, a birthday add-on, a game convention swap or a stocking stuffer.

Quick answers

How big is the round sticker on each size option?

It's cut around the badge, so the circle is a little smaller than each listed square: about 2.3″ across (3″×3″), 3.0″ (4″×4″) and 4.1″ (5.5″×5.5″). The 15″×3.75″ option prints the badge about 2.8″ across, a little smaller than the 4″×4″.

Is the book from a particular game?

No. It's a generic open book with no title on the cover, so it fits whatever board game, card game or roleplaying game your group brings to the table.

Are the laptop, notebook and plants included?

No. The laptop, spiral notebook, mouse, headphones, succulents and glasses are only the desk setting in the photos. You get the round badge sticker with its white border.

Will it hold up on a cup or outdoors?

Use it on dry, indoor surfaces. We don't make any waterproof, weatherproof or dishwasher-safe claim for this vinyl.
