EnglishWhat Columns and Community Resources Are Available on Board Game Quest?
Updated
Board Game Quest is more than a review site: alongside game reviews, previews, and top-10 lists, it publishes a set of recurring Columns, interactive Quizzes, community-oriented pages such as Board Game Discord Servers, plus Interviews, Gen Con coverage, and the Board Game Quest Awards. These sections are aimed at readers who already know the review section and want opinion pieces, themed recommendations, or ways to connect with other players. The exact publishing schedule and archive depth for each column aren't stated on the site, so treat the list below as a map of what exists rather than a guarantee of how often each one updates.
Columns: recurring opinion and advice series
The Columns section groups the site's non-review writing under named banners. The column names visible on the site are:
- Controlled Area Gaming
- Level Up My Game
- Quest Lists
- Quick Hits from the Vault
- Parental Guidance
- Rumblings From The Deep
The names signal the intended angle—lists, older-game revisits, family/children's gaming, and personal commentary—but the site does not publish a description of each column's scope or cadence. If a specific column matters to you, open it directly rather than assuming it covers a particular topic.
Quizzes: pick a game by theme
The Quizzes section turns "which game should I play?" into a short interactive format. Published examples include:
| Quiz | Theme |
|---|---|
| Which Cyberpunk Board Game Should You Play? | Cyberpunk settings |
| Which Lord of the Rings Board Game Should You Play? | Tolkien adaptations |
| Which Racing Board Game Is Right For You? | Racing games |
| Which Theme Park Board Game Should You Play? | Theme park games |
| Which Star Wars Board Game Should You Play? | Star Wars adaptations |
These are useful when you have a theme in mind but no specific title—answer the questions, get a suggestion, then cross-check it against the site's written reviews before buying.
Community resources and events coverage
- Board Game Discord Servers — a news-section page pointing readers toward Discord communities for board gaming. It is a directory-style resource, not a hosted community.
- Interviews — conversations with designers and publishers, filed alongside news.
- Gen Con coverage — convention reporting, including event write-ups such as a piece on Chaosium Con and gaming at The Green Dragon Inn.
- Board Game Quest Awards — the site's own awards page, separate from its reviews.
- Crowdfunding Campaigns of the Week — a recurring roundup of active crowdfunding projects, part of the Crowdfunding section along with Kickstarter game previews.
How to use these sections together
A practical path: use Quizzes or Top 10 lists to shortlist games by theme, read the matching Game Reviews (filterable by rating via Games by Rating) to check quality, then use Crowdfunding Campaigns of the Week if you prefer to back upcoming titles rather than buy released ones. For discussion and second opinions, the Discord Servers page and Interviews add context that reviews alone don't provide.
One caveat: the site shows recent review dates in late October 2026, but no page states how frequently columns, quizzes, or news roundups are updated. Check the section's latest entry before relying on it as a current feed.
