BoardGameGeek is an online forum for board gaming hobbyists and a game database that holds reviews, images and videos for over 101,000 different tabletop games, including European-style board games, wargames, and card games.[2] In addition to the game database, the site allows users to rate games on a 1–10 scale and publishes a ranked list of board games.[3][4][5]


BoardGameGeek was founded in January 2000 by Scott Alden and Derk Solko.[6] Since 2006, the site annually awards the best new board games of the year with the Golden Geek Award. Winners are selected based on a vote by registered users.[7]


Since 2005, BoardGameGeek hosts an annual board game convention, BGG.CON, that has a focus on playing games. New games are showcased and convention staff is provided to teach rules.[8] There is also an annual Spring BGG.CON which is family friendly, and an annual BGG@Sea which is held on a cruise.


In 2010, BoardGameGeek received the Diana Jones Award, which recognized it as "a resource without peer for board and card gamers, the recognized authority of this online community."[9] In the same year, it received the Inno-Spatz Award from the German city of Göttingen for "outstanding achievements in the world of games".[6][10]


The site has branched out into other fields by using the same system for RPGs and video games (rpggeek.com and videogamegeek.com)
