It’s a simple little creature that will take three commands. The first of these is !bgg and that’s used to get game details from our API, which will in turn get the game details from BGG. You can give it a BGG Id, or the exact name of a game, or a general search string. It’ll do its best to turn that into actual information for you.

Searching for an imprecise string, such as ‘!bgg gloomh’ will give you the first entry from the search results of BGG’s search API. It’s… not perfect. I might improve the quality of this as time goes by – it depends on how many people use the bot really.

You can also do ‘!mlu’ as a command to get an accessibility scorecard if we have one. For example, ‘!mlu catan’ will get you the accessibility scorecard for Catan.

As is the case with the WordPress plugin, I’ll prioritise feature requests from Patrons so if you think you might want to make heavy use of this now might be a good time to hop on board!
