Follow Reddiquette and Reddit Content Policies

All content on the sub must follow Reddiquette and abide by Reddit's Content Policy.

No Discrimination, Harassment, or Malicious Content

We have zero tolerance for hate speech, doxing, or threats. Any violation of this rule is considered bannable, even on the first offence. Harassment, dog whistles, playing devil’s advocate, sea-lioning, and general pot-stirring is considered malicious and is not permitted.

Keep Discussions Civil

All discussion, even disagreements, is expected to be conducted civilly. Unwelcomed behavior that breaks our Community Guidelines are subject to removal, regardless of content, and repeated offences can lead to bans.

Posts Must be On-Topic

At their core, posts should be discussion-oriented. External media or content, when shared, must engage the community. Above all, posts must be directly related to the board gaming hobby. Please see our list of Off-Topic Posts which are subject to removal.

Promotion Requires Participation

This sub is a community, not an audience. Promotion of any kind requires the user to abide by our Participation & Promotion Guidelines.

If you're attempting to run an AMA, you must do so by scheduling it with the mods via modmail.

Follow Posting Guidelines

Certain topics, such as Game Recommendations, COMC, and Giveaways have recommended or required posting guidelines all users are expected to follow. Check our Contribution Guides for a complete list.

Respect Intellectual Property

Sharing self-created projects are encouraged, but must be done so in a way that respects the intellectual property of publishers/designers. Shared game assets or digital recreations that are not publicly released by the IP holders require written permission by the IP holder. Game re-themes must be shared in such a way as to prevent physical recreation.

Hide Spoilers and NSFW Content

Respect other users of this sub by keeping Spoilers and possibly NSFW content hidden. Posts and comments must be appropriately tagged or hidden in accordance with our Spoilers guidelines.

Limit Usage of AI

This sub encourages real discussion of board games. Therefore, content or comments that are largely or completely made by AI are subject to removal. Additionally, certain websites and applications are no longer allowed due to the prevalence of vibe-coding. See our AI Rules for a full list.
