Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I choose the games I want to battle against in the Board Game Battle?

Games in the “Board Game Battle” section of the web app are intentionally generated randomly so that resulting battle win/loss percentages are an accurate reflection of the opinions of the Board Game Matrix community at large. Also, part of the fun in being introduced to random games is the discovery. It's a great way to learn about games from the past and present that you might never have heard of, and some of them might be right up your gaming alley. You can't seek them out if you don't know about them!
