Guide to BoardGameGeek 
BoardGameGeek is a website dedicated to the subject of physical board games. The site provides an extensive database of boardgames as well as an active community of users who discuss, argue, buy, sell, trade and play board games. The database contains over 45,000 board games (January, 2010) and each game has its own Game entry which gives information about a game, user ratings, forums for discussion and a great deal more.
The Forums are a good place to explore to involve yourself in the community. If you are completely new to the site, check out the Getting Started page and the Welcome to BoardGameGeek page.
