Some feedback regarding the Boardgame Category facets.
To put it mildly, it's highly perfectible...
1- "Compatible with - Space Frontier". This must be a joke.
Space Frontier is a super-obscure game.
Actually there are two games called Space Frontier. Both have an entry on boardgamegeek.com, and are marked as owned by a whooping 4 BGG users. 4 users on about 1.2 Million registered. I can't figure why Space Frontier is listed along Catan, Magic or Axis and Allies. Catan alone is marked as owned by 85000+ BGG users.
You cannot list the top 100 board games, but please try to list some that are at least a tiny bit famous.

2- "Game pieces". Come on, it's simply useless.
Basically, almost
everything is a game piece.
In a nutshell, here are the 4 main boardgame component types :
-
Tokens : These are game pieces of various shapes, typically stylized.
-
Counters : These are game pieces specifically used to count points. Dials, numbered tokens, etc.
-
Miniatures : Most recent successful boardgames come with miniatures. And I'm not talking about games like Warhammer or Battletech (these ones are now in the "Tabletop-Wargaming" category. By the way,
wargames are actually a subset of boardgames but that's another story).
-
Gaming accessories : These are accessories that are used with a game, but not "in" the game. Such as token trays, dice towers, dice trays, organizers, etc. Contary to the 3 types above, accessories are not game pieces.
