We created The Boardgame Nexus because we believe the voice of gamers should drive the direction of the industry, getting into the hobby should feel accessible, and designers and publishers should be able to broadly float ideas in the community before launching projects. Our goal is to provide gamers with a way to organize and celebrate their collection, while providing valuable feedback about community preferences and experience. We use both submitted data such as ratings and poll responses, and passive data about gamer collections to craft a holistic view of our industry, while teaching gamers more about themselves and bringing everyone together for a better game night.
