Board Game Central

"This site is a central resource for board game information, rules, software, and links, focussed on the traditional and family board games that many people know and love, as well as new games you might not yet be familiar with, but which we think you'll enjoy. So explore our games & have some fun!"

This site seems to be a veneer for a large(-ish) US vendor called unclesgames.com. The focus is very broad, so you'll find references to Peurto Rico, Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, Scrabble, Chess and Checkers, etc.. However, the info is not at all deep; don't expect an alternative to BoardGameGeek. Their target seems to be the consumer market.

Similarly, their Board Game News component is simple with selected headlines only, sourced from elsewhere and re-cast as editorial. This is fine, but not particularly compelling if you're interested in material that goes beyond the superficial consumer world of boardgames. A feed is provided, so this is a plus.

The collection of online board gaming resources looks quite good, although I haven't thoroughly explored these. However, again the focus seems to be on traditional games.
