Board Game Arena

These are great stats.

For the analytics nerds in the audience, are there any plans to create an API that would allow us to look at this information ourselves? Even if it's only on the "Things To Do Eventually" list? It'd be cool even if it was just a snapshot from 12/31 and uploaded to Kaggle.

I have about a thousand questions in my head of "facts that may only interest me" as I call them, that I'd love to know the answer to. It would also be great for university students that need a "big data" dataset to use in class projects. Oddly enough, there's a pretty big overlap of board game aficionados and data scientists.

Here's to generating even more data in 2026!

Amazing! Thanks for building such a great platform and community!

Thanks to all the people who work so hard to make this work

For those who haven't received the personal 2025 recap, do you have the newsletter email enabled?

Also, would be nice if BGA made that newsletter accessible from somewhere in our profile, since even if you enable newsletter emails now you might not get it anymore.

You should receive an email too.

Not that I know of but it is worth looking into (no promises here).

I also did not receive a 2025 recap email. Is there another way to access the recap?

Amazing year for BGA, I bet if you guys make a Steam port the playerbase will increase tenfold!

Many of tabletop players on steam don't even know about BGA, or don't care for any platform that isn't on steam.
