Maintenance and To Do
Looking to volunteer in the Board Games corner of the CthulhuWiki? Here's what needs to be done!
1. Update Unreleased Board Games (As Needed)
Review Unreleased Board Games. Determine if any of those board games have been released. If they have, update the game's page with as much information as possible. Don't forget to remove the 'Unreleased Board Games' category. Then go back to Unreleased Board Games and remove the game from that page.
2. Provide Missing Information
Some board games have missing information, indicated by a "?".
If you own a board game with a "?" for one or more of the fields, please examine the rules and box for the missing information. If it's not provided, replace the "?" with the word "None". Please don't enter your best guess - we're looking for official publisher information. And, as much as I respect BoardGameGeek, remember that their information comes from volunteers, just like us, so don't just take their word for it.
3. Add Existing Board Games
The following board games just need to have pages created for them. You'll find the Board Games Style Guide on the Board Games page.
Creatures & Cultists (multiple editions?)
Cthulhu Wars (+1 expansion)
Eldritch Horror (+4 expansions)
Munchkin Cthulhu (+3 expansions)
Rise of Cthulhu (+1 expansion)
Smash Up: The Obligatory Cthulhu Set
Strange Aeons (2 editions)
A Study in Emerald (2 editions)
4. Add More Board Games
There are always more Cthulhu-themed board games - here's what to do with them.
Released Board Game: Whether it's a new tentacle tamer or one that's been around for years and just not on CthulhuWiki, add a board game using the Board Games Style Guide on the Board Games page. Use the Print-and-Play and Print-on-Demand categories as appropriate, in addition to the Board Games category.
Unreleased Board Game: Just like adding a released board game, except you'll also need to add the game to both the Category:Unreleased Board Games and the page Unreleased Board Games.
5. Miscellaneous
Yahtzee: Cthulhu was added to CthulhuWiki so soon after it was released that it didn't even have a BoardGameGeek page yet. Add a link to it once it exists.
