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 More Board Games

There are always more Cthulhu-themed board games - here's what to do with them.

Whether it's a new tentacle tamer or one that's been around for years and just not on CthulhuWiki, add a page for any board game or board game expansion (released or unreleased) using the Board Game Style Guide.

If it's a game that's already released, add it to the list on the Board Games page.

If it's a game that's not released yet, add it to the list on the Unreleased Board Games page. Also add it to the Category:Unreleased Board Games.

Additionally, use the other board game subcategories as appropriate: Category:Print-and-Play Board Games, Category:Print-on-Demand Board Games, Category:Solo Board Games.


The following board games still need pages. Remember to use the Board Game Style Guide.

Creatures & Cultists (multiple editions?)

Cthulhu Dice

Cthulhu Realms

Cthulhu Wars (+1 expansion)

Eldritch Horror (+4 expansions)

Kingsport Festival

Machina Arcana

Rise of Cthulhu (+1 expansion)

Stay Away!

Strange Aeons (2 editions)

A Study in Emerald (2 editions)

Tekeli-Li


4. Miscellaneous Task List

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.


5. Not Unspeakable

Non-English editions of various games haven't been touched. (Except The Stars Are Right.)


6. More Tentacles

Know an interesting piece of trivia about a game? Have a link to a great review? See something that's just plain wrong? These pages are a community effort, make them better by contributing!
