...Actually, after a quick search, there are quite a few board games in the system to deal with. I'll start compiling a list.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Lords of Waterdeep: a dungeons & dragons board game. This one does include a rulebook, but it's not the focus of the record.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Dungeon! Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Dungeon! Board Game [2nd record]
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... -- The Newlywed [Board] Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Relic Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Assassins Creed Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Eldritch Horror Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- X-Files: The Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- World of Warcraft Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Talkabout Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Chess - a box-set for chess. Includes a chess set, and a 'detailed guide'. Again, the record isn't specifically for the guide, though.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... -- Initial Consonants Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Subtraction Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... -- Time & Money Bingo Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Kingsport Festival Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... -- Board Game: Dominoes
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Emotion-oes Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Church Hoppers! Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Archer Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Arkham Horror Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... -- Guesstures Board Game
Publishers:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... -- Key Education. There are some books on their page, but there are also several other items like a lotto game, learning cards, etc. that should be removed from the database.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... -- Frank Schaffer Publications. They have quite a few text items, for teacher use. There's the odd non-book item to be removed though. A bingo game on the first page, a poster of some kind around page 10, for instance.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... -- School Zone Publishing Company -- Mostly books, but there are games, flashcards, etc. to remove.
Also, I don't think their workbooks would be considered a series.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... -- Fantasy Flight Games. There are several handbooks listed, so the whole record can't just be cleared. There are games, figurines, etc. listed as well though.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... -- the Walking Dead Board Gamehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Lords of Waterdeep: Scoundrels of Skullport Expansion Board Game -- by Wizards of the Coast - publisher page will need to be checked - I saw some miniatures, and card sets to be removed.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- tribond board game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Federations: Space Battle Board Game
There are also several "Board Game in a Book" which are 'books ' that you take apart to make a board game. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
When deleting them, make sure you don't get rid of this by accident. This is an actual book, that also has a board game you can play as an extra.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... -- Little Angels & the Fruit of the Spirit Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... -- Stonehenge Nocturne Board Game: An Anthology Expansion
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... -- Mosby's Rntertainment: An NCLEX Review Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... -- Patriot: American Trivia Book And Board Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Eldritch Horror: Strange Remnants Board Game Expansion
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... -- Card sleeves
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... -- How do you feel? Baord Game
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... -- Talisman: The Blood Moon Board Game Expansion
Is it enough to mark them as NOT A BOOK and kick them out?
I don't really know the procedure, sorry. They should probably be removed from the goodreads 'system' in some way, though.
I NAB'd the ones in message #1. I'm wondering about these:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - includes "A Scenario book featuring brand new scenarios for the desert campaign."
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - "contains: - A learn to play rulebook, a rules reference, a campaign guide, and a skirmish guide"
OK, previous ruling is that even if it has a manual, it's still Not a book: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...I don't see what they could be merged to, as per the process (https://www.goodreads.com/help/librar...) and if we want to be really neat and tidy (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) they have to be deleted and new record with the ISBNs created and marked as NAB.
Edit: I don't seem to be able to delete even the ones with 1-2 reviews, so I'll just NAB them.
many from "Fantasy Flight Games" seem to originally have been imported due to bad labeling from the seller originally. Upon checking they seem to now (for the most part) be labeled correctly as games and or toys. I think for these it would be safe to delete them if they don't have reviews as they shouldn't be re-imported. For now I started to move them to "NOT A BOOK"
While I was working on this someone went in and started deleting the cards instead on NOT A BOOK ing them for items under "Paizo Publishing" Please do not delete not a books where amazon has them listed in the book section/have not been corrected on amazon - these will just re-import. Change the author to "Not a Book"
done - EDITED
going back through - looks like I missed some
Many many many more games - not going to list them but I am currently working on NABing all these games/cards/stickers for these "authors/publications" listed I am not doing the notebooks/journals/addressbooks at this time if someone wanted to step in https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and a few other "authors" with publications in the name seem to have many many notebooks/journals etc that will need to be another project later
-- Battlestar Galactica: Exodus Expansion [Board Game]
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... -- Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game
As you can see just from the records' description, or if you follow the link to Amazon, neither of these records is for a book or printed material. Both records are for Board Games based on the Battlestar Galactica series.
Please remove records.
