Two types of user accounts are available on Boardgame News: Members and Guests.

BGN memberships cost $25 for 12 months. Members receive the following benefits:
 to head to the registration page. Note: You must use your real first and last name as your Screen Name.Once you've registered, you need to hand over the loot using one of the following options:
If you prefer not to deal with online payment sites, you can mail a check or money order made out to either W. Eric Martin or Boardgame News to: W. Eric Martin PO Box 2841 Concord, NH 03302 You can also donate additional funds to support Boardgame News. Or, more specifically, to support me, the BGN editor. I'd love to spend all of my working hours on BGN – posting news, interviewing designers, reviewing games, completing all the secret projects on my to-do list – but at this point, I still need to write articles on packing stations and cable network improvements and other non-game-related topics. As you might imagine, I greatly appreciate all support, and thank you for reading. |
With a Guest account, you can post comments on Boardgame News but you receive no other benefits: no peeks at the unbelievably massive and comprehensive Nuremberg and Essen previews; no chance of winning cool games in the random drawings; no warm feeling inside late at night. If you can somehow survive without those benefits, click to head to the registration page and create a BGN Guest account.Note: You must use your real first and last name as your Screen Name. |
What happens next?
Once you've completed the registration form – whether as Member or Guest – you'll receive an automated email; click on the link in that email to finalize your account. You'll then receive a message welcoming you to BGN and restressing the benefits of Membership. (Yes, I'm shameless.) If you want to become a member, the enclosed link will bring you back to this page so that you can review the payment options.
Once you've activated the account, you can log in using the Username and Password you chose during registration. (Tip: Use the LOGIN button on any page.) I have to flip the Member switch manually, something that typically takes less than a day; you'll receive a note from me once that happens, then you'll have immediate access to the current Convention Preview and be entered into the current month's drawing for free games (as well as drawings in future months, of course).
Questions?
If you still have questions about Membership or anything else, please email me at subscriptions@boardgamenews.com.
Yours in gaming,
W. Eric Martin
