(Note: I have no affiliation whatsoever with any of these companies or software developers. It's just a guide letting board game users know what is out there, how they can use it, and how well I think each individual application works for board games. This list is not in any particular order or preference. I thought I would share my observations with the board gaming community. So I found a bunch of software programs that enable me to catalog my collection on my hard drive. What could be more geeky than building a game database? And sure, I could just use the feature on BGG that allows me to save my collection as a spreadsheet, but spreadsheets are often drab little documents without some of the eye candy I'd like to have. It doesn't happen often, but it's a bummer when it does.Īnother reason is that I just think it's fun to build a database, particularly if it has my beloved board games in it. Those things can be unpredictable at times, and if you lose your internet connection or BGG's site goes down for some reason, you can't access your game collection. One is that BGG is a web site, and like anything on the internet, it is at the mercy of computer servers and internet service providers. Why would I do this if I am already satisfied with BGG? Well, there are a couple of reasons. My collection looked so cool on it that I started wondering what other options are out there for cataloguing board games.
