User reviews

No Weight Shown?

How can you not show me the average weight of the game? This is a major criteria when choosing a game or researching it. Huge miss here.

Excellent for Boardgames

As an avid board gamer, I find BGG truly critical to access the robust community that posts reviews, comments on rules, and a wonderful repository for community-created content for specific games. Overall, a tremendous resource !!

Mac

Such a useful app for all things board games! Always so much new content! A tremendous source for reviews, new games, events, how to’s, blogs, community, crowdfunding, etc. I love tracking my personal game collection on here as well!

Great…to a point

For quick lookups on the go, this is better than a mobile browser, being tweaked enough to give it an app-like feel.

Read, write (some things), research, and more. It isn’t as easy as a computer, and that’s fine. This is a curated version of the site. The interface is mobile-enabled web rather than mobile front end with mobile-first choices.

It isn’t luxury so much as Craigslist, but it gets me what I need, when I need it.
