http://minibgg.com is a very lean version of BoardGameGeek designed for use on phones. It focuses on functionality that is useful when you're on the run, such as game information viewing, multiple game comparisons and game play logging.
minibgg.com was completely rewritten today, and game comparisons have been completely overhauled. An example: http://www.minibgg.com/boardgame/31260,3076,2651,12333,25613
The game comparisons generate two ratio based values:
- Own:Trade which is the ratio of users owning the game to users trading the game. A high value could indicate people don't want to get rid of the game when they own it.
- Want:Trade which is the ratio of users wanting the game to users trading the game. A high value could indicate the game is good trade fodder.
I've just uploaded the new rewritten version just now, please let me know if any bugs are found (I'm sure there will be a few).

I love this app. I've used it several times on the go from my cell phone browser to see if a game is worth getting.
I didn't know about that compare features. How does one get to the compare page from the main menu?

Hi, great to know you like to use it
If you want to compare games, there is a "compare" search box at the bottom of each game information page. So just search for the first game like normal, scroll down to the bottom of the game page and search again. You can keep adding as many games as you want like that.

This looks great, clean and perfect for logging plays on the go. Works well on my Droid. Thanks!

Just noticed that the comments link is gone. This was very helpful on the go to see what other BGG users thought. Any chance of getting this back?

Is this a front end using the XML API or is it something from BGG that talks to the database directly?

'Race for the Galaxy' didn't come up on searches. Couldn't tell you why.

"Lord of the Rings" did not come up, but "lord" found it. Is it having trouble processing spaces?

Yeah I plan on bringing that back. There was a full rewrite and I wanted to get the basic functionality back first.

I think it might well do, I'll have a look into it Thanks for the bug report, most of the time these things go unnoticed by me.

I just discovered this mobile website you made. It's just fantastic!
until now I was browsing BGG on my phone... which isn't that easy at all!

Any update on getting the comments back? That is *such* an important link to get truthful opinions on the fly about a game.

Same here. Thank goodness for a mobile app I can use while at the LFGS to check out such things. It helps a lot to peruse to make an informed purchase. Definitely need that comments section returned.
Thanks beefsack!

Just got a new phone (Android) and just found this app. Impressive! Have you considered the (hopefully minor) tweaks necessary to use RPGgeek and/or VideoGameGeek?

It seems as though the Rank isn't working. Everything I've searched today is empty in that field.
