I also built an API to access all the data that I just released as well: https://www.boardgameatlas.com/api/docs

This is simply another aggregating list with a search function, and while another database is nice, this is quite clearly nothing at all like a map, and not even a guide.

This. I was hoping something of the sorts of "if I like X game, I might also like Y game"

Another suggestion, have more pictures of the games. Specially of the board, mid-game. It's a nice way to have a sort of feel for the game.

That's a good point. I guess I'm marketing the long term vision rather than the reality of it right now.
