# Context Being a fan of board games, I wanted to see if there was any correlation with a games rating and any particular quality, the first step was to collect of this data. # Content The data was collected in March of 2017 from the website https://boardgamegeek.com/, this site has an API to retrieve game information (though sadly XML not JSON). # Acknowledgements Mainly I want to thank the people who run the board game geek website for maintaining such a great resource for those of us in the hobby. # Inspiration I wish I had some better questions to ask of the data, perhaps somebody else can think of some good ways to get some insight of this dataset.
