Editing Template:Board game/doc

'''{{tl|Board game}}''' is for use in any article about a [[Pathfinder campaign setting]]-related product in the form of a board game. Some parameters are ''optional'' and can be left blank. If undefined, these optional parameters will not appear. The recommended image size is a width of 250px so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size. This template was initially borrowed from, and future additions based upon, the [[frw:Book|Book Template]] at the [[frw:Main_Page|Forgotten Realms Wiki]].
