BoardGame Journey is a buying guide for board games. Most of our articles answer one question: which box should you buy? Many popular games come in several versions, with expansions that need a base game and editions that look alike on a shelf. We sort that out before you spend anything.
How we research
Every guide starts with the official rulebook and the publisher’s own product pages. Player counts, ages and play times come from the box or the publisher, and we say so in the article. When sources disagree, we show both and tell you to check the box.
Before a product goes on a page, we check its listing: that it is the edition we describe, that it is sold in the United States, and that it is in stock. When something goes out of stock, we take the link down and date the note.
What to expect
Our guides are research: rulebooks, publisher pages and product listings. When we have played a game ourselves, the article says so. When it does not say so, we have not, and we will not pretend otherwise.
We do not write prices into our articles, because prices change every day.
