How to report a rules error or correction
Reporting a rules error is the fastest way to get our attention, and we are genuinely grateful for it. Board game rules vary between editions, printings and house traditions, so even carefully checked guides can carry a mistake. If a rule, player count, play time, age guidance or any other figure on the site looks wrong, email [email protected] with “Correction” in the subject line.
What to include in a correction
A good correction gives us enough detail to verify and fix the problem quickly. Please include:
- The page title or link where you found the error — for example a guide on our board game rules hub or in our card and dice games section.
- The exact text, rule or number that is wrong, so we can locate it.
- What the correct version should be.
- A source if you have one — an official rulebook, a publisher’s page or a tournament body carries the most weight.
What happens after you report an error
After you report an error, a member of the team checks your message against primary sources, usually the official rulebook or the publisher. If the correction holds up, we update the guide and, where it matters, add a short note so returning readers know what changed. If a rule is genuinely ambiguous or edition-dependent, we may explain both readings rather than pick one. Either way, your report makes the site more reliable for the next reader, which is the whole point of how we explain how to play board games.
Suggest a board game, topic or guide
We welcome suggestions for games and topics to cover. If there is a classic, a family favourite or a mechanic you wish we explained, email it to us and tell us the game’s name and why you think it would suit our readers. We cannot promise to cover everything, and we prioritise widely played titles and questions beginners actually ask, but every suggestion is read and kept on our planning list.
General questions and feedback
General questions and feedback are always welcome. Whether something was unclear, a guide helped you settle a game night, or you simply want to suggest a clearer way to explain a rule, we would like to hear it. Clear, specific feedback — “this step confused me and here is why” — is more useful to us than general praise, and it directly shapes how we rewrite and improve our guides.
Permissions, media and partnerships
For permissions and media enquiries, email [email protected] and describe exactly what you would like to do. This includes quoting or republishing part of a guide, linking to us in a classroom or club resource, or interviewing the team. boardgamers.ca is an independent, informational site; we do not run sponsored posts or sell links within our guides, so please do not send paid-placement or link-insertion requests — they will be declined.
How we handle your message and your privacy
We use the details you send only to answer you. Your name, email address and message are used to reply and, where relevant, to make a correction or log a suggestion; we do not sell your information or add you to a marketing list. If your message leads to a published change, we do not name you unless you ask us to credit you. For context on who writes the site and how we research and fact-check, see our About and Editorial Policy pages linked in the site footer.
What we cannot help with
A few common requests fall outside what an independent guide site can do, so it saves everyone time to flag them here:
- Official rulings or dispute resolution. We explain published rules, but we are not the game’s publisher or a tournament authority, so we cannot issue binding rulings or settle a bet or argument from a specific game night.
- Replacement parts or missing components. We do not sell games or supply spare pieces — contact the publisher or retailer for those.
- Buying, selling or valuing games. We do not appraise collections or act as a marketplace.
- Homework and competition answers. We are happy to explain how a game works, but we will not complete assignments or provide live tournament assistance.
For anything else about board games — rules, strategy, genres or classics — our inbox at [email protected] is open, and a clear, specific message always gets the best answer.
