About BGG Weight Ratings
BGG (BoardGameGeek) Weight is a community-sourced complexity rating from 1.0 (very simple) to 5.0 (extremely complex). It captures rules complexity, decision depth, player interaction, and cognitive load — not necessarily how fun a game is.
Light games (1.0–2.0) are ideal for families and new players. Medium games (2.0–3.0) suit casual hobbyists. Heavy games (3.0–4.0) reward dedicated study. Very heavy games (4.0–5.0) are for enthusiasts willing to invest serious time.
