EDIT: UPDATED JANUARY 2022! New version with 4M additional reviews, since last update! With enough upvotes I'll may refresh the dataset again next year :)

2020: New version with 2M additional reviews (up from 13M to 15M in about 15 months). Number of unique users has grown from 290k to 350k.

Do you like games? Do you like data science? In that case this could be a dataset for you. I tried to sharpen my data science skills on the reviews users posted on boardgamegeek, the world's largest board game site.

In the csv file are all the reviews of users. Comments are included. The download was made by querying the BGG API2 at 2nd of May 2019. All the game IDs I took from Beefsack's Github, which basically includes all games with >30 reviews.

Thanks obviously to the wonderful folks at BoardGameGeek. Disclaimer: I don't own this data, it's property of BoardGameGeek and should be used under their terms Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash
