If you already use BoardGameGeek (BGG), you don't need to start from scratch: connect your account and Meeplay will bring in your collection, ratings and plays. To see what data moves in each direction, see What Meeplay syncs with BoardGameGeek.
- Have the Meeplay app installed and be logged in to your account.
- Have a BoardGameGeek account, if you want to connect it.
