How To Add Content 
To add a new game read the Add A Game page and fill out the form. Your game will typically be approved by the admins within a few days, but delays up to a few weeks are not unheard of. If you are adding a game you have designed or published, please read the Guide to Promoting Your Game.
Scope
BoardGameGeek is intended only to cover board games and other tabletop games. There is not a strict rule as to whether a particular game is appropriate for inclusion or not, but a few categories are explicitly excluded:
- Role Playing Games
- Electronic Games - e.g. XBox, PC, Play Station, PS2, GameBoy
- Toys
- Sports
That is not to say that there is never any overlap with some of these subjects, but the focus of BGG is not on any of the above subjects.
Other Content
To add reviews, images, session reports and the like, go to the particular game entry for the appropriate game and choose "Add" or "Post" in the appropriate section. Read the page on File Submissions before submitting player aids, rules translations or the like. Some content submissions will earn you GeekGold. Most content requires approval, which is either done by the Admins or by the community, via GeekMod.
Review the list of Pending Games
List of Games Pending Acceptance details the games which hav been submitted by Geek members but which have not been accepted by the Geek administrators. The Geek database goes though a vetting process to control submissions.
