If you need to know anything about a board game, this is the place to go. An invaluable resource for rules reviews and detailed information about almost every game ever published.

Unfortunately there is a biased and dictatorial regime that oversees the community that visit this world. Those viewed favourably may post skewed comments about games and add personal criticisms usually because a game is at variance to their preferred lifestyle or perception of history. Attempts to debate these points of view is not tolerated, even when the response is respectfully phrased and factually on point. Any counter argument is promptly delated under the banner of being 'disrespectful' or 'derailing'. It is like the 1st amendment never existed.

Favoured individuals and publishers are given royal treatment with BGG staff even uploading and promoting product. Outsiders to this clique are ignored and made to jump through hoops to gain even basic access to the site. Rules are cited to justify the hurdles which are frequently created to slow the process or deny approval of copy. Meanwhile the preferred members can be seen to have no such regulation imposed on them.
