The average board game is a 7/10

It's right in terms of the modern rating system:
1-5: terrible
6: bad
7: average
8: above-average
9: good
10: great

That's because 8 of 10 is the lowest score you can buy from a reviewer. Virtually all AAA games get that score unless they're actually good, in which case they get 8.5-9. 10s are for highly anticipated games that aren't too buggy.

Video game reviews are trash.
