About BoardGameBook.com

Welcome to BoardGameBook.com, a blog I'm using to help track some of news, resources and information I've found during research for my book about the board gaming community. Also see my archived board gaming news posts.

Huge thanks to members of the community (especially BoardGameGeek), whose encouragement and advice have been essential to the development of this project.
