List of all games?

Post by Joey2k »

Is there no longer a way top look at a list of all games on BGA? When I go to "Games" it has a bunch of different categories that I can expand (such as games I've played, popular now, new on BGA, etc) but there no longer seems to be a way to look at one single unified list of every game. Am I missing it?

I can't find it either.

You can search for "games I've played" and "games I've not played" separately (which would add up to "all games"), but not both together.

Maybe there are too many items to show all? But I agree: There should be a possibility to see all games.

Not exactly what you were looking for but maybe good enough in practice, if you go to the "games in progress" page https://boardgamearena.com/gameinprogress then as well as seeing the games you personally have in progress at the top, if you scroll down you will see a list of all games which currently have games in progress by any BGA users, sorted in order with those games which have the most ongoing games on top. So it gives a quick view as the "current popularity" of each game as well.

It's not particularly user friendly for searching (as there's no link to the game description/info page), nor do I think does it show any games which are on BGA but don't have any games currently in progress - but at least it's a reasonably complete list, showing all but the most obscure/unloved games that exist on the platform.

I was just thinking the same as I wanted to browse thorugh the games and see what is there and what is new etc....
I don't like it that there is no way to really see all the games on one page...

I need to choose every settings in Filters->Number of players, then I can see all games, assigned by popularity

Probably not optimal but you can have a look at the translation center: https://boardgamearena.com/translationhq
There are no pictures or direct links to the games themselves, and you can ignore the main site and a few alpha games, but at least you have all games, by alphabetic order.

Using this page https://boardgamearena.com/startwannaplay gets me an alphabetical list of games (you have to scroll past "Most Popular Games").

https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?dur ... name%3Aasc

At this time it gives me 465 games, from 13 Clues to Zooloretto. The number may vary depending on how many alpha games you have access to.

Click on the "Filters" button if the filter panel is not showing at the top. Then, in one of the drop-down lists, select all options (play time and complexity have only 3, so any one of them works best). Next to the Filters button there's a sorting button, select sort by name.

If you haven't noticed yet: In the meantime BGA has created a pre-filter for "all games" https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?allGames= You can find it on the bottom of the games page.
