::::::Lego and board games aren't comparable. It's not necessary to list the number of pieces as one lump sum - it doesn't really mean anything. The only way I would really consider it is if it's followed by a breakdown, for example: Pieces: 15 (5 xxxx pieces, 5 yyyy pieces, 5 zzzz pieces). | ::::::Lego and board games aren't comparable.

::::::Again, I don't really think there's any point to adding the "original game" in the infobox since it applies to less than half of the board games currently in the category... and they're literally only the Monopoly and Yahtzee variants... it can be explained in the opening section of the article that it's a licensed variant of an existing game. I think adding it to the infobox would only be for the sake of filling space and doesn't really improve the article. Same with the barcode numbers. ISBNs are helpful because they can be used to easily locate a book in a database or online shopping site. Barcode numbers aren't as practical for locating items (and remember that books have separate barcode and ISBN numbers, too, if it was important we'd have listed both from the beginning).

:::::::So, long story short, I shall remove original game, number of pieces (since there is a content category) and the bar code? Apart from that, how is the template, ready to be used?
