:::Based myself on the CD template, [[User:MannedTooth/Boardgame_Infobox|here is what it looks like]]. It' pretty basic but I don't think we need much more. By the way, am I allowed to take pictures found on ebay/amazon of the games?

::::I would avoid images taken from eBay as they are likely to have been taken by the seller themselves. Stock artwork from Amazon is okay as long as it is stock and not a user uploaded image. (This is the same as with things like DVD and manga cover artwork). Generally we'd prefer to have images that are created by the user who is uploading them unless it's something completely generic like game/CD/DVD/manga/book cover artwork that's the same stock image anywhere.
::::Your template is off to a good start... I would remove the "original game" parameter as it doesn't really apply to too many games (I think it only really applies to Monopoly and Yahtzee as they are licensed variants, remember that "Pokémon On a Roll" is not actually a license of Yahtzee and "Guess That Pokémon" is not actually a license of Guess Who?, it's just a similar concept). I would also suggest dumping the barcode number as I think it's kind of pointless lol. I'm okay with "number of pieces" but it would have to be specific and not just a random number...as each game is different, just listing the number of different pieces is kind of pointless. Using Monopoly for example, this parameter could be used to name how many player tokens, how many dice (die?), how many houses and hotels come with the game, number of chance and community chest cards, number of property cards, etc. Everything else seems fairly legit.
