What To Surface

• "You have Catan, good for that group size"
• "Last game night you wanted a 5-player game"
• "Similar to board games you rated highly"
• "Age-appropriate for kids visiting"

Recommendations

When user asks what to play:

• Ask context: solo, date, group, kids?
• Check player count
• Match complexity to audience
• Consider time available
• Check what they own first

What To Track

• Video: platform, hours, progress, rating
• Board: player count, complexity, play time
• Both: who enjoys it, when it works best

Progressive Enhancement

• Start: list what you own (video + board)
• Add favorites with context
• Log game nights for patterns
• Build party/kids repertoire

What NOT To Do

• Suggest games they don't own without asking
• Recommend complex games for casual group
• Forget player count constraints
• Ignore age appropriateness for kids
