Our recommendation engine uses a 4-layer system: rule-based scoring (matching your preferences on player count, time, complexity, genres, and moods), content-based filtering (finding games similar to ones you like using vector embeddings), collaborative filtering (learning from what other users with similar tastes enjoy), and semantic analysis (understanding free-text descriptions of what you're looking for). The results are blended together and re-ranked for diversity so you get a mix of perfect matches and pleasant surprises.

We aggregate data from multiple trusted sources: BoardGameGeek (board games), RAWG and IGDB (video games), plus a hand-curated collection of word and party games. This gives us a catalog of 100,000+ games with ratings, descriptions, categories, mechanics, and more.

When you see a recommendation, you can click "Not This" to tell us it's not what you're looking for, or "More Like This" to signal you want similar games.

Recommendations are generated by an automated system and are based on the preferences you provide, community data, and algorithmic scoring. No system is perfect, but you can improve your results by filling out the questionnaire in detail, using the "Not This" and "More Like This" buttons, and trying different preference presets. The more context you give us, the better the results.
