Tips & common questions
Where does the BGG Forums data come from?
Boardssey shows recent forum threads from BoardGameGeek for the game you have open. The list is tied to that game’s BGG listing.
Do I need a BGG account?
You can open and read threads without logging in. To post or use member-only features on BGG, you’ll need to sign in on boardgamegeek.com.
I don’t see BGG Forums on the game page.
Your role in the workspace may not include access to that section, or the game may not be linked to a BGG entry. Check with your workspace admin if you expect to see it.
Can I open BGG in the same window?
Clicking Read more typically opens BGG in a new tab or window, so you can keep Boardssey open and switch between them.
