On each game page make the designer's name(s) a link leading to a list of other games by the same designer. This would help find (or avoid!) other games by the same designer, if a player happens to like (or dislike) a game.

How is this not a thing yet?

I assume it must not be easy to do given the BGA database or something. It's very easy to see on BGG.

I don't want to see everything on BGG from that publisher or designer, I want to see everything from that publisher/designer on BGA. Theres no way their database is so messed up that it can't pull from the designer/publisher column on BGA... They already give that information out on each games page so they have it saved somewhere. When searching match game name, publisher, and designer all at once and show all relevant items as I type my query.

I can only assume it's very difficult or very low priority.

I came here to make the same suggestion. Seems like a no-brainer.

I also came here to ask for this. I would love to be able to pull up a game from a certain designer. Uwe Rosenberg as an example. There are several of his games on here.

I am willing to help fill a database if necessary.

Oddly enough it seems possible right now, but it is complicated: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/232126 ... nced-seach

Long story short, this list of games seems pretty complete: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefami ... game-arena

First, click the search box in the top right and click Advanced Search which takes you here: https://boardgamegeek.com/advsearch/boardgame

Then you can search whatever you like, e.g. Uwe Rosenberg for Designer. Click Submit at the bottom to get a list of all games by Rosenberg, like this: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeksearch.ph ... &B1=Submit

Finally, you can manually add

Code: Select all

&familyids[]=70360

to that giant URL in your web browser, producing this: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeksearch.ph ... B%5D=70360

There shouldn't be a need to fill a database. Every game on here already references the publisher and designer. The data is already there, it just needs to be pulled down into the search.

Dude.... We are on BoardGameArena not BoardGameGeek. I know how to search for designers on BGG I don't want to search for games on BGG I want to search for games that are available on BGA. The only helpful thing your very long post has provided is that list of games from BGA posted on BGG.

Although even here I don't see a way to further narrow down the list by designer. So no not as helpful as I had hoped.
