Board Games Kingdom - ASP.NET MVC Final Project

This is a web application where you can find information about your favourite board games. Not only that but you can also find new games to spend your time on.

Description

There are two main things users can enjoy in the site - reviews and tutorials. Game reviews have the purpose to inform the user about a board game(description, min/max players, playing time, category, etc.). Tutorials can be made by every user and target other users. There they can see tips, tricks, guidelines and many more for different games. Both reviews and tutorials have one cover image, which is uploaded on creation. However their contents can be html, so the creater can include everythng he likes and structure it the way he likes. Tutorials can be liked/disliked and commented by users. In the future events will be added, so users can sign up for a live event where they can meet other users, play games and test their skills.

Public Part

The public part includes the Home, Contacts, Login/Register and Game reviews pages. Users can browse game reviews (which are added only by administrators) and can see game review details. Each game review has a category which shows the type of game reviewed.

Private Part (Users only)

The private part includes Tutorials. Tutorials can be made by both regular users and admins. Users can browse tutorials and see their details. Each user can like and comment different tutorials. Of course they can also do everything a non registered user can.

Administration Part

Administrators can create, update, delete and view details for everything in the app(users, tutorials, comments, reviews, categories). For each object there is a Kendo Grid.
