You are able to to import a list of games into Aftergame via a .csv spreadsheet. The spreadsheet requires a specific set of columns, all others will be ignored.

We currently support:

• id [Optional] **- if you want a way to specify a game id for subsequent imports, add a unique ID here. Otherwise we fall back to the row number
• name [REQUIRED] - this is the name of the game
• bgg_id [REQUIRED] - this is the BGG ID we use to ensure we have matched to the correct game
• year_published [Optional] **- the year the game was published

<aside> <img src="/icons/info-alternate_blue.svg" alt="/icons/info-alternate_blue.svg" width="40px" />

Spreadsheet imports accept "objectname" and "objectid” column names and maps to “name” and “bgg_id” respectively to accept the BGG export format.

Getting a game’s BGG ID

If you don’t have the BGG ID for a game, you can find it either in the URL or on the game page:

However if you need to get these for a large list, it may be faster to just add the games to Aftergame via our normal “Add game” flow.
