Browser Extension to Show Game Stats from BGG

Post by Shadowzuin »

Hi Players,

I'm Steven — a developer and board game lover.

When I’m looking for a new game to play, I often check BGG (BoardGameGeek) stats for reference.
If you’re like me, I think this extension might be useful to you.
(And if you’d rather spend your time playing as you are not interesting in this way … I totally understand!)



BGA-BGG Searcher

A browser extension that shows BGG stats directly on BGA.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... er=0&hl=en

After installing the extension, you’ll see additional information on both the game list page and the game panel page, including:
• BGG Rating
• Best player count
• Recommended player count
• Weight (complexity)

Please note: All BGG information is based on player votes, so it isn’t 100% accurate—use it as a guideline only.


Helpful Tips
• The extension checks automatically if the last update is older than 7 days and will fetch fresh data when needed.
• You can also manually refresh the data from the extension popup.(By click the extension icon in the browser, select all -> refresh selected)
• If it doesn't work sometimes, try to refresh the page to see if that helps.


Disclaimer
• The extension may occasionally fetch an incorrect BGG game ID. If you notice a mismatch, please report it and I will fix it.
• For new games, it may take a few weeks to months before I can manually update the data source.(When I notice and I am free)


I hope this extension helps you find the perfect game to play!
