Board Game Geek is the ultimate reference site for table-top gaming.
The site’s extensive database contains reviews, photos, and strategy guides for virtually every board game ever made. You can also use the database to track your own collection of games and to buy, sell, and trade games with other users. Alternately, you can buy games through the Board Game Geek marketplace at a significant discount over retail game stores.
If you need to connect with your own local gaming group, you can use Board Game Geek’s “Guilds” to create a miniature forum, calendar, and image gallery. There’s also a larger general gaming forum to discuss news and events in the gaming world.
Board Game Geek is free for normal use, or you can pay a small fee to remove the extensive advertising. In addition, you can earn “GeekGold” by contributing to the site by adding reviews, photos, or files that help other users. You can spend this GeekGold to remove advertising, buy games, or customize how you look in the forums.
By harnessing the power of its many enthusiastic users, Board Game Geek serves the gaming community like no other site on the Internet. Although the site suffers from some aesthetic issues, there is no better source of information on this topic than this site.
