Welcome to the BoardGameHub forum.
Your members already own the games. This is where the group finally decides what to play.

Highlights
Good to know
XenForo 2.3 and PHP 8.0 or later. No dependency on another add-on, and nothing leaves your server unless you switch on the BoardGameGeek import. That import needs an application token of your own: BoardGameGeek closed their XML API on 2 July 2025 and asks each installation to carry its own token. Until you register one, the import screen still takes a CSV file. The player count poll and the recorded playtime are never imported, deliberately, because their value is that your own members answered them.

Quick links
- BoardGameHub in the store: pricing, changelog, download
- Try it live on the demo board (login demo / demo2026)
Highlights
- The table: say who turned up, how long you have and what you feel like, and get five suggestions justified in plain words, read from the collections your members actually declared.
- The box says, the table says: the printed length against the length your members logged, side by side, with the gap as a percentage.
- A player count poll that means something: each count marked Best, Works or Avoid by your members, shown as a bar per count.
- The table sheet: setup time, teaching time, footprint, language dependency, solo mode and three accessibility markers, so a two hour game can admit it wants 25 minutes of setup first.
- Before you play: the rules every table gets wrong, and the house rules yours settled on, voted and sorted.
- The shelf: a collection drawn as box spines, thickness proportional to weight, with a dust index for what has not moved in six months.
- It runs beside GameHub without touching it: separate tables, routes, permissions and navigation.
