Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about planning, recommendations, voting, and event setup in What2Play.
How does What2Play choose board game recommendations?
Recommendations consider attendee count, available time, preferred complexity, and which games attendees can actually bring.
Can groups vote on which board game to play?
Yes. What2Play uses ranked voting so attendees can order preferences and reach a fair final pick.
Can we poll dates before locking a game night?
Yes. Invite-only events can use availability polling first, then hosts can lock the final date and time.
What happens if attendees drop after voting?
Hosts can keep fallback options ready so the confirmed event can adapt if player count changes.
Can I sync my BoardGameGeek collection?
Yes. Link your BoardGameGeek username to sync owned games and use them in recommendations and planning.
Can I host private and open game nights?
Yes. You can run invite-only events for your regular group or create open events that others can discover.
Can I see which games in my collection performed best?
Yes. Collection insights show how often each game was picked, average vote position, voting-pool appearances, and average enjoyment ratings.
