Terminology

What is a complexity rating?

The complexity rating is used to display how difficult a game is to understand. For first-time board game purchasers, we recommend purchasing games with very low or low complexity.

What is a BGG rating?

The BGG ratings listed on BoardGameSupply.com.au are sourced from BoardGameGeek‘s (BGG) average rating.  The average rating from BGG consists of all the ratings from registered BGG users, calculated by adding up the individual ratings and dividing by the number of ratings to produce a score out of 10.

BoardGameGeek (BGG) is a board game database – a collection or catalogue of data and information on traditional board games. The game information recorded here is intended for posterity, historical research, and user-contributed ratings.

What are mechanics?

The mechanics in a game are the rules or actions that govern and guide how the game is played.

For example, the mechanic ‘Tile Placement‘ features placing a piece to score or trigger abilities, often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like colour, “feature completion”, cluster size etc.
