Board Game Grow started in the summer of 2012 as a simple board game blog. The goal was to play games, post reviews, and session reports, and maybe encourage others to discover something new.

Since then, Board Game Grow has expanded in both content and popularity. What started as a simple blog has become a full board game news, review, and information site. Now Board Game Grow works hard to provide you with weekly board game reviews, news, interviews with game designers, and information on upcoming Kickstarters. We are constantly expanding the content we provide and increasing the frequency at which articles are posted. We hope you find a lot of information here and check back often. If you have something you’d like to see covered on the site, feel free to drop us a line via the contact page.

Our current staff of writers is below, and to help you find a reviewer that aligns with your taste in games, each reviewer has listed out their Top 5 favorite board games.
