Description: "This dataset contains data collected on board games from the BoardGameGeek (BGG) website in February 2021. BGG is the largest online collection of board game data which consists of data on more than 100,000 total games (ranked and unranked).
The voluntary online community contributes to the site with reviews, ratings, images, videos, session reports and live discussion forums on the expanding database of board games.
This data set contains all ranked games (~20,000) as of the date of collection from the BGG database. Unranked games are ignored as they have not been rated by enough BGG users (a game should receive at least 30 votes to be eligible for ranking)." - Kaggle
I would probably narrow this down to the top 500 or 1000 games. I frequent this website myself and it's interesting to see the timecapsule of 2021 rankings. Interesting to see what is still popular and what has been surpassed in the rankings.

This is a bar chart visualizing the quantity of different categories of games for each decade. My complaint is that there are simply more games made in the 2010s than any other decade so it looks like there are more of everything in that grouping. To interpret this chart you have to compare the decades relative to the total quanity of that decade. Maybe it would be benificial to add a bar for total.
