	Description Edit \| History

The BoardGameGeek Game (TBGGG) is being published by R&D Games to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the BoardGameGeek website, the gaming community’s most indispensible database!

Ernie (the famous BoardGameGeek mascot) has gone on holiday to meet his English cousins and fellow geeks in the quaint Cotswold town of Boardway. In TBGGG players take on two roles:

Firstly, players represent one of the six game publishers: Eggertspiele, Hans im Glück, Queen, R&D, Treefrog or Ystari, supplying their company’s games to the games shops of Boardway. Geek Gold (GG) is earned for each game they sell. Secondly, each player has a team of three ‘dicey’ geeks who are trying to collect sets of games to meet their gaming group’s requirements. At the end of the game GG is awarded to record the player’s success in acquiring these games. The player accumulating the most GG is the winner.

TBGGG is a fast paced, tactical, fun game for 3 to 6 players (with ‘geeky English start player’ option), which takes around 60 to 75 minutes to play.

Happy Birthday BGG Microbadge Mosaic

Happy Birthday BGG and thanks for all the microbadges! Microbadge mosaic, functionally equilavent to the one posted on BGG at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/655402 (although some badges are in different locations). Every badge now has a mouseover description and a link to its page on BGG. To use, unzip the files (a JPEG and an HTML file) to any folder and then open the HTML file with your web browser.

TBGGG Charity Shop board back

The back of the Charity Shop with the names of the games in the window. My thanks to Richard Breeze, who supplied me with several of his photos that he took when designing TBGGG. This shop is based on one of them. To print a smaller version set Page Scaling to Multiple Pages per Sheet.
