Hey, fellow board game enthusiasts! Have you ever wondered how different board games are connected? I stumbled upon an amazing interactive map that visualizes the relationships between board games on Board Game Geek (BGG). The creator of this map, inspired by the Map of Reddit, used reviews to establish correlations between games. If many users gave the same score to two games, they’re strongly connected on the map.
The map clusters games into communities, making it easier to discover new games similar to your favorites. You can even filter the map by playtime, complexity, score, number of players, and year published. I’m impressed by the level of detail and the ability to explore different genres and themes.
What I find fascinating is how this map can help us understand the board game landscape. By identifying patterns and trends, we can gain insights into what makes a game successful or why certain games appeal to specific groups of people.
The creator has done an amazing job, and I’m excited to share this with you. Take a look and explore the connections between your favorite board games. Who knows, you might discover a new game to add to your collection?
Note: The map only includes games with at least 100 reviews, and some data quality issues might affect the results. Nevertheless, it’s an incredible resource for board game enthusiasts.
