Gamble With Your Friends is easier to enjoy when players can answer practical questions quickly: which achievements are done, what an item does, why a lobby invite fails, and where a new player should start.
A lot of game information eventually ends up scattered across store pages, discussions, screenshots, and short notes. That is useful, but it is not always easy to use while a group is trying to play. GWYF Guide is my attempt to turn those repeated questions into small tools and focused references.
Why a tool-focused guide
A static guide is helpful once. A searchable tool is useful every time a lobby changes plans.
The first version is deliberately narrow. It does not try to be a complete wiki, and it does not pretend every changing detail is fully verified. The priority is to help players make decisions faster without hiding source quality.
That means achievement rows can be filtered, item notes can be compared, and troubleshooting steps are grouped by the kind of failure a player is actually seeing. The site should feel more like a compact player toolkit than a long page of disconnected notes.
What is live first
A local browser checklist for searching, filtering, and marking achievement progress without needing an account.
A practical item reference with effects, use cases, risks, and source status instead of vague item summaries.
A focused path for Steam invites, lobbies, version mismatch, overlay settings, firewall/VPN issues, and mod conflicts.
A first-session route for new lobbies that want fewer resets and clearer group decisions.
Source labels matter
Fan resources can become misleading when they flatten every note into the same level of certainty. GWYF Guide uses source labels and cautious wording so players can tell the difference between public Steam data, community notes, and details that still need checking in the current build.
If a detail is wrong or missing, I would rather update the row than pretend the page was perfect on day one. That is also why the site keeps the first batch focused: useful pages beat a large set of thin pages.

Fan-made and open to corrections
This is an unofficial fan-made resource. It is not affiliated with TEAM GWYF, TENSTACK, Yogscast Games, Piece Of Voxel, Steam, or Valve.
The goal is simple: keep a practical guide available for players who need a tracker, a reference table, or a troubleshooting checklist while the game data continues to be verified.
