Time for a new sort of look at the gaming community - internally! What are gamers up do, and how often? There's an awful lot of data out there if you know where to look and how to access it, so let's take a look at (statistically) March's most popular games!

BoardGameGeek is a lot more than a way to find and talk about games you both love and hate. There's a lot of random do-dad information and numbers that go on behind the scenes. With a little know-how, you can see what's being played, when, how much, and of course run some comparisons across time. Today, we're dipping our toes in to look at the most popular games played in March 2023! (with some key caveats). As a certified data nerd, I love to look around at this stuff, so thought it'd be fun to try out!

Is this something that you care about when searching for a new game? If so, why? Let me know in the comments!

For those interested, here's the API base to get all the data (note that it's XML, so prep your parsing!) - https://boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi/
